With the release of “A&W,” Lana Del Rey's second single off her upcoming album, “Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd,” we ranked all of her ...
Is it her favorite soda? Have we seen Lana actually drink it? Lyrical use of the drink: Del Rey sure loves a flavored Cola, enough to mention it in two songs: “Bartender” and “Florida Kilos;” the latter is a reference to a vape juice flavor, but nonetheless, she loves her Cherry Coke. She speaks of the soda as a metaphor to a bad relationship “You’re no good for me, but baby, I want you.” Of course, a diet bright lime green soda is terrible for you, but how could she resist? And I thought, ‘Well …’” Look, if we had to pick the most American soft drink, it has to be the 136-year-old Coca-Cola, not Pepsi. Inspired by her boyfriend at the time, Del Rey told Does it have to be mixed in order to make it out of her soda fridge? She uses a bottled Cola, referred to as Mexican Coke, in many photo shoots during the Born to Die era with photographer Del Rey has countless photos of her with a Coca-Cola. Lyrical use of the drink: Del Rey’s latest release brings her back to her soda-loving roots. She’s named three songs after carbonated drinks: “Cola,” “Diet Mountain Dew,” and her latest single, “ [A&W](https://www.vulture.com/2023/02/lana-del-rey-billie-eilish-new-music.html).” The second single off of Del Rey’s upcoming album, [Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd](http://www.vulture.com/2023/01/lana-del-rey-new-album-release-date-ocean-blvd.html), fits the theme of the album title, as it is one of her longest songs to date.
