“Love” is another wistful chapter in Lana Del Rey’s songbook, nostalgic, bittersweet, and benefiting from Del Rey’s affinity for all things heartbreaking.
Lana Del Rey's always at her best when she's the observer. Here, she traces the path of a girl who's young and in "Love", although we find out that it's Del Rey herself all along by the time the song ends. This song doubles down on Del Rey's somber, ethereal pop with its sparse chamber-pop production and barely-there rhythmic thump.
