genre and styles- Pop/ gritty pop with catchy lyrics and memorial beat gives it traits of a pop song and with lyrics such as 'shattered dreams will break your heart' make the song sad and gritty.
the length of the song is 3:55 with the pace of the song fluctuating in different parts with the song being slow but when the song hits the chorus the tempo picks up as well the beat of the song so overall it is a variable song but the lyrics and the speed they are said does dictate the songs pace.
the meaning of the video is do not give up on your dreams and work hard to get to the big time as it is a life of joy and excitement as well as wealth and glory for just being talented.
narrative of the video is to show the memories and experience and rarity of someone making it big in hollywood as this references the extravagant life styles with champagne and over luxuries but i think it also tells the down turn so a start falling from grace.
impressions of the song is how fake everything is in the TV/film industry and how violent something so innocent sound could be as the title of the song is a oxymoron of pretty little connoting something small and innocent while gangsters is a full 180 as stereotypically gangsters are seen as negative and dangerous and violent
the words used would make you think its going to show alot of wealth imagery such as champagne and chanderlers which are images of wealthy items.
the purpose of this video was to entertain people as well as to give insight into the sadder side of the celebrity lifestyle.
the conventions of the genre of pop/hip hop is with a repetitive beat while the lyrics change but the beat has a rhythm that the lyrics follow, also it usually has a common theme of looking at the sadder things in life as the subject matter and this song is no exceptions

LYRICS
Champagne in this fading light
We are standing on the balcony and dancing in the pouring rain
Please don't feed me black and white
Sick and tired of the typical I wanna know your shade of grey
Hollywood the land of stars
Shattered dreams will break your heart
Draped in jewels to look the part
It's my anthem (x2)
Crystal glasses
Chandeliers
Cameras flash at big premiers
Welcome to the new frontier
Can we get some (x2)
CHORUS:
Maybe someday we'll both look back on this ride
Top of the world we're finally living the life
Takin' it in cuz lightning never strikes twice
Pour me a drink looks like we finally arrived
Spotlight coming down like a hammer
Hot sweat getting high off the danger
Can't quit cuz it's not in my nature
Feet will never touch the ground
Pretty little gangster now
The good life will always remind me
The real world can be so confining
But power can also be blinding
Feet will never touch the ground
Pretty little gangster now
Silver tongue don't fail me now
Used to look in open windows just to find a way to steal the crown
Pretty gangsters climbing out
Up the ladder pitter patter take a look at all the gold we found
Hollywood the land of dreams
Nothings ever what it seems
Holy water make me clean
Can we get some (x2)
Crystal glasses
Chandeliers
Cameras flash at big premiers
Welcome to the new frontier
It's my anthem (x2)
[CHORUS] (x2)
