"American Wedding" by Frank Ocean takes the iconic "Hotel California" and transforms it into a layered reflection on love, marriage, and the American dream. Frank’s storytelling moves beyond romance, diving into the messiness of impulsive decisions, societal expectations, and the idea of ownership in relationships. With lines like "Now what's mine is yours, that’s American law," the song shifts from a simple love story to a commentary on how love and legalities blur in the modern world. It’s haunting, nostalgic, and unapologetically real, making you question the fairy tale we’re often sold about love and marriage.
