Didn't she already answer this last year on the Howard Stern show? interscope wanted a ballad and Gaga gave them a ballad in her own sly way. :)

Did she really say this? She's such a LIAR! In the Howard Stern interview she said she changed IWBWY to Dope because Interscope said "we love the ballad, we love the ballad," because ballads are on trend, so she purposely changed the lyrics to make it all about a controversial subject like d--gs.

 

If it's true that she said this at the concert, I'll be very disappointed. She needs to stop with the constant lies and inconsistency in what she says. It just makes her look like a phony (something she vehemently denies she is). 

I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!!

Dope is a billion times more relateable and I agree with the change. Dope doesn't need to actually be dope, it can be anything that you have chosen over someone you care about. "I need you more than sports." if you are an athlete is an example.

It's about needing someone you love more than needing something you love. Some of you are terrible at understanding and connecting to songs in a non-literal way.

Now that's ironic - yet Interscope allowed Gaga to release Applause, which, for the most part, is everything but relateable.

I imagine that whatever the person thought they heard at the concert was wrong, or they were lying. I just can't believe that Gaga would blatantly lie like that.

Applause is extremely relateable, what are you talking about? A lot of people live for praise and appreciation.

I remember this, and I must say that it doesn't contradict what she says here.

 

With Howard Stern, Gaga said that Interscope kept encouraging her to write ballads. She thought they just wanted her to jump on the latest trends (ADELE and Lorde). She said something like, "Oh, you want a ballad? I'll give you a ****ing ballad".

 

I could imagine that in the process of writing Dope, she also took the opportunity to make it more relatable, by writing more honest and raw lyrics.

 

I'm sure this are just two of the many reasons she wrote the song as it turned out.

She said back in an interview way back that she changed IWBWY to Dope as an FU to Interscope.

As I suspected, it doesn't contradict what she was saying at Howard Stern at all. I should stop second guessing her and just trust the b---h.
