Do you wish Gaga's collaboration with Florence wasn't a miss?

Tbh hey girl is underrated I enjoyed its direction of a subtle sultry almost Bennie and the Jets-eque sound with a natural composition that at least you know the two people in the studio actually made the song 

[Fernster7 7,837]

Worst song on the album and they needed to make a darker song with deep lyrics and stuff. Not that boring nonsense.

It's a nice song. It may not be the most resonating song on Joanne but comes as warm and cute. 70s vibes all the way. Had a cute, retro music video been released for the song, the song would be watched on a completely different light.

hey girl is the best song on the album. FACTS

Why does Hey Girl get so much hate on this forum? Its one of the best songs on the album. Its a cute song performed by two of the best in the industry. Im not expecting Celine Dion levels of vocal acrobatics from it.

[ItsTommyBitch 12,640]

Sonically, production wise, its the most interesting and original track on Joanne though   It's more what I expected when I heard Bloodpop and Parker were involved tbh. (though Parker's influence to me is literally only audible in the first bars of Perfect Illusion, the rest seems very Mark Ronson country lite  )

Lyrically, melodically, its very cute, but the hook or chorus is pretty weak, I don't think they utilized the interesting part of Florence's vocal timbre very well, though the tone Gaga used on this track complimented Flo's very well, cute brighter Gaga is always appreciated from me. Bridge is short but 10/10. I also think the production and soundscape very much match the sentiment of the lyrics, which I can't always say about the rest of the record at times...

Definitely one of my most played tracks overall.

Hey Girl is the reason why Joanne got nominated for a Grammy.

A "miss" is a bit harsh. I like Hey Girl, and a lot of other people do too. It's got a very cool vibe to it.

Hey Girl is great though

[Wixson 4,900]

I was slightly disappointed at first, but it ended up being one of my most played Joanne songs. It has an old-school, chill vibe that I love.

hey girl is excellent and i have never, and never will, understand the hate toward it from this fanbase. period.

I get that people don’t like it knowing the vocal capabilities of both of these artists, *however* on its own merits I think Hey Girl is great. Florence wasn’t belting for once, she got to try something new with her voice and the subtleties you hear in her minuscule runs are incredible. Gaga matched Florence’s more full-bodied voice with bright ones and it worked. Then the production. Lord. Listen to that alone and it’s beautiful. I think people just expected it to be something it was never going to be, but it itself is so good to me. I particularly love the back and forth and relative simplicity of the lyrics. It’s a conversation, a pep talk, a hype up, not a feminist dissertation. I really think it works and is far and away a Joanne standout.

 

my only reservation would be how it sounds so different from the rest of the album. That’s a bit odd to me, and makes it feel slightly obtuse, but both the album and song are beautiful.

I don't think it was a miss. I actually liked Hey Girl a lot and upon first listens to the album it was a standout favorite to me and other people around me who listened to it. So it kind of trips me out that people on pop forums specifically look down on it so much. I think you guys just like over-analyze.

Hey Girl is literally the best song on Joanne
