Lana Del Rey's "Doin' Time" is her take on the Sublime song about a cheating girlfriend whose treatment leaves her lover feeling locked up, and it landed on her 2019 album Norman Fucking Rockwell!. The songwriting credits stretch from Bradley Nowell back to George and Ira Gershwin and DuBose and Dorothy Heyward.
Andrew Watt and Happy Perez produced it, with Watt on guitar, Eric Wilson on bass, Josh Freese and Bud Gaugh on drums and Gale Levant on harp. The result is a hazy, sun-bleached drift, and Del Rey sings it with a lazy, knowing smirk that makes the song sound like it was always hers.
