Lana Del Rey romanticizes pedophilia and the book Lolita in a lot of her songs, this one being the most egregious case. This song is about an underage girl coming onto a grown man, no more no less. "Put me in a movie" probably alludes to suggesting they videotape it. Daddy, jump rope, sparkles, all imagery reminiscent of childhood. It's pretty fucked up how sexualized her naivety is in this.
Young girls (as well as boys) can't consent and if a child is hitting on you it's your job to turn them down. Studies suggest that kids that hit on adults have usually been sexually abused. Adults have way too much power over kids to be taking advantage of them like this.
Yeah the song is pretty and catchy and weird and expresses what it intended to, and creating a song about a thing doesn't always neccassarily mean you support the thing, but it's basically a song depicting a very innocent underage girl "asking for it" and it troubles me that NOBODY else in these comments is troubled by the content of the lyrics.
