The track isn\u2019t available on any major streaming services yet, instead opting to exist only as a music video on IGTV. \u201cThis video is a compilation of vignettes of life,\u201d its caption reads. \u201cFamily, love, the process of moving forward and letting go of the past. To live and be happy, free of fear. Just to be grateful and open our eyes to our opportunities instead of numbing the mind.\u201d In reality, the \u201cvignettes of life\u201d are seemingly a hodgepodge of camera roll footage; skateboarding videos play next to images of an Instagram-ready Lindsay posing in front of mirrors or accepting flowers at unexplained events.<\/p>\n<p>As a piece of art, \u201cXanax\u201d feels at war with itself. The song is built around a slowed-down sample of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Lgs9QUtWc3M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Alice Deejay\u2019s 1998 song, \u201cBetter Off Alone,\u201d<\/a> retrofitted to seem like a Swedish House Mafia-type beat. There\u2019s a cacophony of cheesy synths and finger snaps that battle against dark and muted lyrics about living in seclusion in a city of excess. Despite all of that, it\u2019s hard to deny \u201cXanax.\u201d The dichotomy of Lohan chanting \u201cI got social anxiety, but you\u2019re like Xanax to me, yeah \/ Social anxiety, when you kiss me, I can\u2019t breathe,\u201d against a four-on-the-floor is a full-on fever dream and in the spirit of complete transparency: Sometimes it do be like that.<\/p>\n<p>Lindsay Lohan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/pop\/\" id=\"auto-tag_pop\" data-tag=\"pop\">pop<\/a> star, is (kind of) back.
