When you first heard 'Perfect Illusion'

[Jinzo 9,618]

That song really tested us didn't it?  many members on atrl blame PI for making them unstan gaga.. Sigh.. They didn't give Joanne a chance unfortunately.. But the song is really amazing.

I thought it was underwhelming, and then after the 3rd play through it grew on me so fast I loved it, so much so that I hated it again after keeping it on repeat for 1 week straight. 

The roller coaster of emotions are too real

... I just thought it was okay but then it changed into one of my favorite Gaga tracks of all time. Easily top 5

I didn't understand what the f was happening in that song

BUT I know it gave me goosebumps and made me cry of excitement/emotion

I loved it since day 1 !! Best Gaga song to date imo

I was confused.
I asked myself if that was really it by the time it was over.
I played it over and over again and now it's one of my favorites.

I had an adrenaline pump in a crowded bus.

Basically a combination of all posted responses. 

At first playback I was disappointed, confused, annoyed, and felt it was very weak for a “comeback” and didn’t understand at all. 

After a few more listens I started to enjoy it. And now it’s my perfect rage song. Love it!

It was sep 9th (day of release)

first week of the new school year/grade. I was year 10 (UK) (9th grade US)

This was when I was a casual stan. I forgot about her after do what u want cause I was a GP then I was an ahs fan and found out she was in hotel then I liked her in hotel so I bopped to hits like alejandro judas lovegame etc then in summer 2016 I listened to the born this way album so I wasn't a major fan at this point

I liked it on first listen and bopped and bopped on the way to school

I became a proper fan a few weeks after

I was slayed and it's only grown on me more. It's now my "man today was sh!t" pick-me-up anthem.

[Panchecco 17,143]

I was snatched bald by the vocals and the key change

[djBuffoon 11,638]

I was intrigued, confused, and not sure what to think.

I liked it until after the bridge. The song really needs some more lyrics. Screaming "it wasn't love" 500 times in a row isn't pleasing. 

[Jeroen Bloeming 2,241]

My *** was shaking

[surejan 5,455]

i had to listen to it again to really like it 

[Eighteen 5,420]
