Yeah I just wish the verses were a little longer as the song is quite short
If this is any indication of what her new album is gonna be like - i'm sold. I loved Born This Way and this sounds like it belongs on it. |

Upon a few listens, it sounds pretty generic to me. It doesn't have the catchiness or the layers that Applause had (even if the quality of the rest of that album was questionable).
It's OK, it just sounds a bit like they are trying to turn an average song into an anthem by ramping up the production noise. It's a far cry from a return to form IMO. |

It may not sound like a huge hit but I really love it. It does sound more BTW than anything else in her career, my favourite album of hers.

I'm pleasantly surprised! I wasn't expecting the instrumental and the rock vibe at all but first listen, I love it! Yeah it does remind me of The Fame/BTW, both of which I love and are much better than ARTPOP.
I'm feeling very happy and can see this being #1 well worth the wait!

I'm underwhelmed. But i don't hate it, i basically feel the same way i did about Britney's Make Me, so perhaps this too will grown on me like that did.

Have to be honest I think Applause was a better lead single. I don't think this quite has the hook to hang around the charts for long but I'm liking the 80s guitar feel of it. So it does bode well for the album.

I get what you guys mean about it not having staying power. Maybe this will just be a warm up single and the next one will be the biggie.
I mean having now had it on repeat a lot I'm not really sure if Radio One will play list this. ![]() That said though its a grower. |

It's definitely a grower. I love the middle-8, especially the "ecstasy" harmonies.
I love her lead single always sound completely different to their predecessors. |

Only heard a bit on ITV just now. Sounds rather generic to me too.

It's ok, it seems to build up to something then doesn't go there, and very it's very short
She's said on grimmy theres a Florence duet on the album, looking forward to that |

I think it's a great song!!
The Madonna comparisons are coming in already!! Papa Don't Preach - the "it was a perfect illusion" sounding like "I'm keeping my baby" - which I kinda agree with |

I'm a bit disappointed. The production on the song is brilliant but I wouldn't expect anything less from Mark Ronson, I think it sounds like Prince.
However having waited with excitement for weeks and weeks the lyrics are 80% of her just singing 'it was a perfect illusion' and it doesn't go anywhere. What is the churous exactly? there is no big moment. I think it was highlighted on ARTPOP that Lady Gaga actually isn't a very good song writer tbh and this just confirms it. I hope the album is better. Also she said this would be the dance track for a generation... I'm not seeing it? |

Lol, never underestimate the DS forum's capacity to like anything Gaga related.
I think this song is terrible, stuck between experimental and dance-pop but failing at both because it commits to neither. I was vying for a Gaga comeback but based on this the album could go either way now. The public will be very unforgiving of another dud in a row. |
