It's def growing on me, but it feels more like an album opening song. We'll see where she'll put it in the tracklist

I've listened to it for 10 times or more, I mean it's a good song, feels like Venus on steroids, song really lacks that polished feeling that even Applause had or any other lead single by her. 

I would really like to see if it's possible that this becomes a hit..

Also listen to 80s rock-pop bands (all I can think of when I hear this song is Duran Duran, Journey, Blue Oyster Cult). It totally adds a new point of reference that makes it even better.

yeah totally, bon jovi's "you give love a bad name" was kind of the first reference that came to mind, and also a subtle nod to olivia newton john and pat benatar.

I was here for it. So here for it. I love the genre, I love the intro, I love her vocals and the backing vocals. But the song? No. I just don't like it. It doesn't do anything for me sadly. But just like Formation... the album can be super

I hated it on first listen and then grown to like it after few more. So it's good , however this song kind of gives me a headache after few listens in the row, do you have the same?

I gave it a few more listens to try to get more into it.... Again that guitar riff  that Kevin playy on intro is orgasmic, i wish it went more in that experimental surf  rock sound.... but than the typical O-O-O-O s and over repeating lyrics starst and it went cheesy disco . The growly vocal toward the end are amazing, and  the bridge is nice....  Sadly there really isnt any melody to it, its a leftdown for me.... hope the album will have somthing more interesting and less basic to offer

It's underwhelming.

Maybe it's because I'm not crazy obsessed with Gaga since I'm getting older, but I loved her previous lead singles on first listen. I remember feeling so excited while listening to Applause. I've listened to Perfect Illusion three times, only because I feel obliged to as a fan. I respect the concept and can acknowledge that her vocals are powerful, but there's something meh about it.

With that being said, I hope it does well.

I agree with this

I don't understand how she could start with possibly the best verse in career then put in such a lazy chorus.  So many talented and smart people gave the ok to LAAAHV, LAAAHV, LAAAHV.

I was not happy upon first listen but legit the second time I loved it.  It's killer and so so different than what is currently on top 40. 

The hardest thing in this world is to live in it

Even the BBC video stream.

She looks happy all through the song, except when the LAAAHV, LAAAHV, LAAAHV comes on she starts listening harder like she's worried.
