POP2 4,206 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I don't know why everyone is giving Katy and Chained to the Rhythm so much crap for the lyrics. They are actually quite interesting (and dare i say it... profound). Using a social/political background for a dance song definitely isn't easy to do and Katy did it pretty well. I don't know if you guys can't understand her or what but the lyrics that I read/heard are kind of dark and playful. If you're hating the lyrics, I'm almost positive you aren't completely listening to the words. The song is well done and I'm not even a Katy stan.

Bio 23,538 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I actually am very disappointed in Gaga fans because NO ONE here seemed to understand what the song AND video are about The lyrics are very to the point and there is a very specific reason why the chorus is such a pop cliché and why there's a rapper in the song. And the video is brilliantly done. She's critiquing the whole country and not just the republicans but EVERYONE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgaga1fan 2,305 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 She panders toward children, and we know Sia wrote these for her. The only recent song I have liked from her was Rise, because she seemed like an actual person. She seemed so fake and generic during Prism, and even now.

Morphine Prince 105,340 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I'm convinced the rap part is anti-Trump. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSUNAMI 20,922 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I would appreciate those lyrics if she actually wrote'em. Sia is the "mastermind". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo GagaGaga 6,541 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 when Sia sings those types of lyrics they sound smart, but coming from Katy it sounds random Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley 9,310 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 The message was obvious. I'm interested to see if any of the general public will notice or if she'll get backlash for being anti-Trump. Even if it's not explicitly about him..the little Trumpsters think everything is an attack on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edonis 28,950 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I mean, it's not an awful song but lyrically it's pretty shallow. It does have a political message, but the strongest message is expressed by the feature and not by her. It's not anything remarkably special for a dance song with a political meaning. But I commend her for the effort of recording and releasing a song with a message that is applicable today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagz 2,579 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I like that it's a call to action for liberals. I think a lot of us realized we were living in a bubble and that the world hasn't made as much progress as we would like to think. I will say that the message isn't super obvious at first listen, especially because I'm not used to nor do I expect political messages from Katy through her music (she has been very involved in politics in other aspects, but never through her music). I don't think the majority of people will really pick up the message. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
