We love Lana Del Rey‘s music AND we love the characters from Mean Girls. How do Lana’s songs connect with such lovable characters?

We’ve got your breakdown!

Cady Heron: High By the Beach.

Cady wanted revenge against Regina because her crush on Aaron Samuels was so intense. Regina found out about Cady’s crush, and immediately reconciled with him as a power move in front of Cady’s face.

Lana sings, “Anyone can start again. Not through love but through revenge. Through the fire, we’re born again. Peace by vengeance brings the end.”

Cady’s revenge plot with Janis Ian and Damian Leigh was cunning, to say the least. Her takedown of Regina was ice-cold.

Regina George: Carmen.

Regina was the most popular girl on her campus, and everyone knew it. She knew she was a baddie who everyone was obsessed with. Regina set new trends all the time. Guys wanted to date her. Girls wanted to copy her.

Lana sings, “The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen. She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes. She laughs like God, her mind’s like a diamond. Audio tune lies, she’s still shinin’. Like lightning.”

Swap out the name Carmen for Regina, and this song was made for her!

Gretchen Wieners: This Is What Makes Us Girls.

Gretchen’s toxic friendships with Regina and Karen were never stable or loving. They were the it-girls on campus, and even though Gretchen didn’t exactly feel emotionally safe, she also didn’t have anywhere to turn. They were known as the plastics.

Lana sings, “The prettiest in-crowd that you had ever seen. Ribbons in our hair, and our eyes gleamed mean. A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queens/ And you know somethin’? They were the only friends I ever had.”

These words could easily come from Gretchen in an attempt to describe her place within the plastics.

Karen Smith: Brooklyn Baby.

Karen was never very smart, but she still tried to keep up with the swirling drama that was constantly happening around her.

Lana sings, “They say I’m too dumb to see. They judge me like a picture book. By the colors, like they forgot to read.”

An easy word to use when describing Karen would very easily be the word “dumb,” just as Lana sings.

Janis Ian: In My Feelings.

Janis was 100% in her feelings about the rumor Regina started about her before Cady entered the picture. Regina told everyone Janis was a thirsty lesbian.

Lana sings, “You got me in my feelings, talking in my sleep again. Drown out all our screaming. Who’s doper than this bish? Who’s free-er than me. You wanna make the switch. Be my guest baby. I’m feeling all my F-ing feelings.”

Janis felt her feelings, and then enlisted help from Cady in taking Regina down.

Damian Leigh: Blue Banisters.

Damian is a Mean Girls character who represents platonic friendship. “Blue Banisters” is a Lana song that dives deep into the beauty of friendship.

Lana sings, “Now when weather turns to May. All my sisters come to paint. My banisters green. My blue banisters grey.”

The sisters Lana sings of can also represent female friends, like the friendships Damian had with Janis and Cady.

Aaron Samuels: Religion.

The feud between Cady and Regina all started over a boy. Aaron was the fellow they both wanted. They acted like he was worthy of being worshipped with how ridiculous their petty dispute got.

Lana sings, “You’re my religion. You’re how I’m livin’. When all my friends say I should take some space. Well I can’t envision, that for a minute. When I’m down on my knees, you’re how I pray.”

If Cady and Regina hadn’t been so boy-crazy over Aaron, the events of Mean Girls would not have taken place.
