LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Doin’ Time’ - Lana Del Rey

We love the retro feel of Lana’s new single ‘Doin’ Time’ from her brand new album ‘Norman F*cking Rockwell’ recently released on August 29th. The track is a cover of ‘Doin’ Time’ a 1997 hit for ska punk band Sublime and includes the George Gershwin classic ‘Summertime’.

The song themes two distinctly-different topics. The chorus centers on the singer and her bandmates trying to make the ‘party jump’ in LBC (Long Beach, California) during the hot summer. While the verses center on the unfaithfulness of the singer’s girlfriend. She depicts her girlfriend as someone who is “evil…… most definitely”.

“Doin’ Time”, is a phrase associated with serving a prison sentence. She is in love with a partner whose cheating ways are driving her crazy.. She therefore feels stuck in prison because of her unfaithful, cold partner. However, despite all that, she still finds a reason to party.
