For everyone saying Dolores didn't do much to help the situation or that she was flirty- I don't think y'all realize how easy it is to manipulate children. As a product of sexual abuse at a young age I can confirm that you think it's a game and you're just a flirty person. You lean into it even if you don't like it

the eternal struggle of "what a catchy song" and "oh my god that's what its about."

this song taught me how to spell dark and park

The people in these comments are much smarter than I thought. I appreciate their intelligent remarks and reflections on the subject matter of this song. I was scared to listen to this song because I assumed it would be problematic but I am happy to see that people understand the context of the song and book it's name is based on.

"You know Lolita is about pedophilia right?" Yes, and that's why I like this song. Because under the baby voice singing about how much she wants it there's this dark orchestral tone. The whole bridge sounds like she's trying to convince herself. The spelling of "love" has a demonic distortion. And I just remember how I blamed myself for being molested because I thought I was mature enough and should know better and know that it was wrong and do something to stop it. I listen to this whenever those thoughts creep back so they can have some structure, so that those thoughts can be external, because it's easier to see that someone else is in danger than it is to see yourself.

I think some of you forget this was based off the book, WHICH WAS MADE TO SEEM LIKE A LOVE STORY !! Lana knows exactly what she’s doing, it was supposed to seem so light-hearted and sugarcoated because that was Humbert’s intention.

the song's theme is so dark it's scary edit: why y'all liking this, this comment is not even groundbreaking

The song is awesome, tho it scares me how many people think "Lolita" is a freaking love story. Dolores was not toying with Humbert and flirting with him. Keep in mind both the book and the movie are from Humbert's perspective. If you watch closely (not even that much tbh) you can clearly see the abuse and Dolores trying to escape. It is not a love story, it's what a sick person made up in his mind to try and justify sexually, psychologically and verbally abusing a little girl. And y'all know what the worst part is? Someone's actually falling for it.

she sound like a psychopath yet damn beautiful voice

I read this book and did my trimester project on it. Let me tell, you the author was a genius . The purpose of the book is to keep people on their toes about child predators. Sometimes they come in a nice package , but if you dig a little you’ll find out who and what they actually are . If people had questioned Humbert Humbert a little more maybe Dolly would have never become his Lolita .

I think this song is from Humbert's perspective of what he thinks Lolita is thinking about him

I really love how lana put the detail of "I want my cake and i wanna eat it too." Its also showing lolita isn't the older adult she thinks she is, shes still a child, teenager at the end of the day

Unpopular opinion but this is Lana's best singing voice I wish she could still sing like this

This is what Humbert want us to believe. Edit: I mean Humbert would love us to believe that Lolita wanted to be sex-ed up by an older, degenerate piece of shit :/ Obviously, this deviates from the book. It's a masterpiece, would recommend ( although I read the book when I was 16 and I think this impacted my view and made me less disturbed )

I would just like to remind everyone that the book Lolita wasn’t meant to sexualize children but instead it’s a story that was made for all the Dolores’s out there who got taken advantage of by an older individual who should have known better. It is totally normal for teens and children to explore their sexuality and be attracted to someone that’s older because they don’t know any better. The author admitted that he was sexually abused as a child and that this book was by no means a love story. This book was for other people like Dolores to look at and understand that they are not alone.

It has this cute baby pink aesthetic for a background and the lyrics to match while the orchestra that’s playing in the back sounds like it’s welcoming some demon in a satanic cult

This has to be from Humbert's perspective, he was the only one who called Dolores Lolita. Everyone else who knew her called her Dolly.

That aesthetic is perfect

The lyrics are sweet and romantic but the music is like some serial killer is dancing in the background and about to show us their secrets. Edit: To the people in the replies saying I need to re-evaluate my whole life for calling the lyrics sweet and romantic: 1. I discovered lolita only AFTER listening to this song, so, I didn't know it was about a pedo. I was studying while listening to LDR songs in a queue. The feel of this song felt particularly sinister so I made this comment and then moved on. 2. Despite not knowing at that time, I still felt that the girl singing is falling for a bad guy (hence, the "serial killer" comment) 3. Please, do not jump to conclusions about me, if possible. Of course, it's the internet and everyone has their freedom of speech, so, I have no right to complain. I just wanted to clarify. Have a nice day and stay safe.

I really don't know why a lot of Lana fans don't like this

"I want my cake, and I want to eat it too..." YAASS, LANA

likes a dude 3 years older than me once: me:

Looks like I'm the first *HEY LOLITA HEY* *HEY LOLITA HEY* *HEY LOLITA HEY*

If you really think I'm gonna watch a whole movie to understand the comment section... You right.

This makes me.... very uncomfortable knowing the undertones of it.

I like your lyric videos they're so aesthetic

Reminds me of my first relationship. It was kinda forced and he was a senior, I was a freshman. I am glad I finally found real love. What we had was clearly not love. I see that now that the rose-tinted glasses are off

Why does this make me wanna have an edgy 80's aesthetic and kiss my boyfriend in an ally

Lolita Is a great movie.. just cant think of a 40 something year old man and his stepdaughter that's 12 making out, it creeps me out

the song is extremely well written. she’s really talented

I love it how she spells instead of just saying some words to remind us of a child

I remember trying to look up lolita fashion on wikipedia and accidentally coming across the story of lolita 😂

the amount of times I’ve listened to this is unhealthy

“kill me, like you killed my mother!” does *that* sound like love to you?

FBI OPEN UP

This honestly reminds me of "The Crush" which is basically a backwards "Lolita"

Im convinced that carmen and this song are lana's best songs. They also both have the darkest meanings

Just like most of her song Lana is always Singing the part of the person on the receiving end, she's always giving depth to the character, but they're always caught in a mess, and people misinterpret it as glorification/romantization, but she's singing as a Real person would think/ not someone who know the relationship is toxic, (that's valid for all of her songs but even more obvious in this one because of the use of childish language even tho Lana we all know as a way with beautiful words and sorrowful words) but this song illustrates perfectly what Lana does. And in it's own way she bring light to the feeling of some who actually felt that way and now are able to understand they weren't in the right place because they knew others could feel like it

nobody gonna talk about the lyric "though i make the boys fall like dominoes" and the studio killerz lyric "but every night they fall like dominoes"

I see this as a representation of feeling that young girls have. many girls about 12-16 feel the need to be older or look older or act older. To stop feeling like a dumb child. When I was like 12, I had other 12-year-old friends that would brag about dating older boys, drinking, smoking, etc. They were lying about most of it, but they said it to seem more mature. Because teenage girls have a warped sense of what maturity is. In this song it is a girl trying to convince herself that she wants to be in a relationship with a grown man. "Do it my way" is a clear representation of her thinking it's on her own terms. And " no more skipping rope skipping heartbeats with the boys downtown" is about her feeling that boys her age are not mature enough. This is the mindset that groomers create. They want the girl to feel like she has the power even though she's being manipulated and assaulted. This mindset is created not only by groomers but by society. Many young girls who are coming into their sexuality are at risk for this mindset. Society has convinced young girls that to be sexy you have to be this "Lolita".

her voice is very baby like in this song and even the instrumental is the perfect mix of darkness and childlike which i think is perfect for this subject

This reminds me of being a teenager and thinking I had control over the situations with older men who took advantage of me.

I low key thought it said, “no more skipping rape” which is quite ironic. 😐

apparently making a song about a dark themed topic automatically means "romanticising" for ya'll

Since the instrumental sounds sinister, I don't think Lana Del Rey AKA Lizzy Grant is glorifying it. She did the same thing in "Put Me In A Movie", where the instrumental sounded happy, but her vocals sounded miserable. Lizzy knows exactly what she's doing. She's so creative when she makes dark songs, & that's why I love her.

this is rlly awesome good job 💗☺️

But in my arms, she was always “Lolita” 🐰

In my opinion this song is so underrated. It's safe in my Lana del Rey top 5 list!

guys! u can literal feel the demonic, the evil intentions of the song and the general case of pedophilia sugercoated with sweet voice and singing tunes.💁🏼‍♀️ This is why lana is my fav and this song is not promoting pedophilia, it's showing how sweet and sugarcoated can be evil

bro this video literally changed my life, i thought the lyric video looked so pretty and i clicked on it not knowing this song.. this is where my lana obsession started 😭

" feelin the heat , even when the sun goes down " BROO I JUST GOT IT SKSKS

The fact that the lyrics slip through most ppls brains and they dont know what the song is really about. I kinda started tearing up knowing this is a real thing in the world, also bc the old man also voices scar from the lion king.

This is one of the worst comment sections I've seen lol

dude my best friend listens to lana and when i reccomended her this song she said that i support pedophilia and i'm disgusting.. WHAT 💀 this song is the literal retelling of the book lolita from dolores pov, that's NOT supposed to be romanticised since the beggining, even the author spoke about how this isn't a romantic book. I see it rather psychological because it almost manipulates you to sympathise with the predator, it's one of a kind book meant to twist your morals and mind.

"Lolita isn't a love story", thank you, we didn't realize before, omg, you should get a prize for revealing something that no one ever knew, for revealing such a secret that not even the FBI would have revealed. The song and the book are amazing, because they're written beautifully and that's what art and literature is; it isn't about what you write, it's about how you write it. IT's a awful story? YES, WE KNOW THAT. There are so many terrible stories in this world, whether they have a book or not, IT'S A WELL WRITTEN BOOK? YES. And that's the whole point of the book; it's well written, written by a true master, an incredible writer, and that's it. That's the whole point of Lolita.

Am I the only one who doesn't think this song is literally about Dolores Haze? I've always seen it as a teen girl (possibly a sex worker) who falls in love/infatuation with an older guy. She sings "let them all say 'hey Lolita, hey'" because everyone around her is comparing her to the pop culture image of a Lolita-like girl: a young, precocious girl who seduces older men. There are also inconsistencies with the story being described and Dolores's situation in the book: with Dolores, nobody knew about what Humbert was doing to her. The narrator of this song is open and joyous about her new relationship. Everyone around her is like "oooh girl yikes", but she responds that she doesn't care if she's being like a "Lolita", she knows what she's doing and is in love. That being said, it's still a dark song about a girl getting into an unhealthy relationship that she doesn't have the experience to navigate.

THIS IS SUCH A BOP

Omg so catchy

somehow this is so aesthetic

*HEY, LOLITA, HEY* *HEY, LOLITA, HEY* *HEY, LOLITA, HEY* Godammit why so catchy

Every lyric in this song would look good on a t shirt

*look at what I bought* *not a second thought* *oh Romeo*

this feels so chaotic

*It's kind of weird how many times a day I listen to this*

I like the vocals intentionally sounding childish bc that’s what the victim was.

“It’s you that I adore, though I make the boys fall like dominoes.” I love that line. Best Valentines card ever😂

I feel like knowing this song is in reference to the book makes it better somehow? Like I know the morals of that story were insane but it was supposed to be that way, and it was sort of a work of art. What I mean is if I didn't know about the story then I wouldn't think this song is anything significant and it would really confuse me, but since I do know, it's easier to follow and enjoy.

I wish this wasn't about the book, I just found out and it almost ruined the song for me

Lolita 👏 is 👏 not 👏 a 👏 love 👏 story Good song tho

she still ate i don’t think it’s glamorization it’s more like personification.

this gives me chills this song is cute but the undertone is fucking terrifying I should've never read the book

"You make me happy, you make me happy. And I never listen to anyone..." fave part.

This just screams daddy issues. Or maybe I'm just projecting.

When Lana says *hey lolita hey* I get chills over my body like I’m watching some horror movie

Would you be mine, would you be my baby tonight? Could be kissing my fruit punch lips in the bright sunshine 'Cause I like you quite a lot, everything you got, don't you know? It's you that I adore, though I make the boys fall like dominoes Kiss me in the D-A-R-K dark tonight D-a-r-k do it my way Kiss me in the P-A-R-K park tonight P-a-r-k let them all say Hey Lolita, hey Hey Lolita, hey I know what the boys want, I'm not gonna play Hey Lolita, hey Hey Lolita, hey Whistle all you want but I'm not gonna say No more skipping rope, skipping heart beats with the boys downtown Just you and me feeling the heat even when the sun goes down I could be yours, I could be your baby tonight Topple you down from your sky forty stories high Shining like a God, can't believe I caught you and so Look at what I bought, not a second thought, oh, Romeo Kiss me in the D-A-R-K dark tonight D-a-r-k do it my way Kiss me in the P-A-R-K park tonight P-a-r-k let them all say Hey Lolita, hey Hey Lolita, hey I know what the boys want, I'm not gonna play Hey Lolita, hey Hey Lolita, hey Whistle all you want but I'm not gonna say No more skipping rope, skipping heart beats with the boys downtown Just you and me feeling the heat even when the sun goes down I want my cake and I want to eat it too I want to have fun and be in love with you I know that I'm a mess with my long hair And my suntan, short dress, bare feet I don't care what they say about me, what they say about me Because I know that it's L-O-V-E You make me happy, you make me happy And I never listen to anyone Let them all say Hey Lolita, hey Hey Lolita, hey I know what the boys want, I'm not gonna play Hey Lolita, hey Hey Lolita, hey Whistle all you want but I'm not gonna say No more skipping rope, skipping heart beats with the boys downtown Just you and me feeling the heat even when the sun goes down

Why...why is that the creepist songs are all ways the best?

Lana really had me searching what Lolita was in 7th grade I'll never forget

I just found out that people think that Dolores was actually flirting with him and loved him, for fuck sake she was 14. The only thing I loved when I was 14 were my toys she did not flirt with him and that is not a romantic story

It's kinda traumatizing but it's a vibe help-

I love how this song is so cute and cheerful and so creepy at the same time

I was looking for this ''remix'' for months, I can`t believe I,ve found it...

Its so match with the background

This song gives me Marina and the diamonds vibes

I thought this was going to be about those Japanese Lolita dresses

it feels illegal to enjoy this song

lolita is a beautifully written book told from the perspective of a pedophile. the book has an anti-pedophile message, but the pov character plays with language to try to make himself likable and sympathetic. it’s no cute love story, nor is it about a devious little girl taking advantage of this poor old man whose name is literally a combination of humble and pervert.

if you don’t know what this song is about, it’s based on the book “Lolita” by Nabokov, in which a man in his thirsties falls in love with his step daughter whom is 13. I recommend it in terms of the writing, it’s beautifully written but I got easily grossed out when thinking about the whole context.

People in the comments are taking this much too seriously. There’s no need for a gigantic social justice debate or a lecture about the book. We all know what the song references. But can’t we just enjoy Lana’s art without the grandstanding and the moralising?

I love this song a lot, but the film is really messed up. I decided to watch it, because I was interested and I didn't know what everyone was talking about until now. The story is horrible, and was most likely traumatising for lo. Also I read up that apparently the hule thing was from humberts side of view. Meaning that he thought she actually loved him, wen she was actually a victim. Who really knows what her side of view was. I saw like one comment saying its her fault for flirting and that this hule story and film is a love story. It really is not! And she was just young and silly, what do you expect. She was a victim and was taken advantage of as well. She had no were else to go other than staying with her "step dad" he wasn't even a father figure to her, he was a monster. And the fact that he stayed with Lolita's mum to get closure to Lolita, is plain messed up. Her mum sounded quite insecure in the story as wen she found out about him making fun of her and giving her sleeping pills, it was like she was more worried about what humbert thought of her, than what he thought of Lolita? It has great acting in the film, and great actors. But the story is well...............

The song is so catchy but it creeps me out at the same time

Daaaaang this song is fire asf. It’s so good holy shit

This song is definitely in my top faves from Lana❤

I finished read Lolita two days ago.I want to say that Lolita is NOT a love story,the book talks about pedophilia and Dolores wasn’t flirting with H.H,she was scared and she was just a kid and the story is only about Humbert Humbert’s point of view.I like the way the book was writing,the author is really good at writing,but a lot of things that H.H was saying were really disgusting . You shouldn’t feel that way towards your daughter,she was just really little and she went trough a lot and she didn’t know what to do,but think about it,before saying that Lolita was a love story and that she was in love with him,because she wasn’t.

i have 80s vibes

_no more skipping rope, skipping heart beats with the boys downtown_ _just you and me feeling the heat even when the sun goes down_

this hits different after reading the book.

This is kinda scary UPDATE: How did I get so many likes?? I have never been so loved in my entire life, thank you!!

It’s still such a bop

I know this song is slightly problematic, but for me it brings feelings of nostalgia. This is when Lana first came out and I fell in love with her. I was just a freshman in college when Born To Die came out. It was the anthem to my freshman year! Good times.
