I wanna be with you (sounds okay)

I NEED YOU MORE THAN DOPE (it's a heavy chorus and already makes an impact)

I know both songs share similarities in their writing but there's something about IWBWY that's always struck me deep. So I don't feel that it just sounds okay, it really speaks to me on a personal level in a way that Dope doesn't, which is why I like it more.

Dope is still an amazing song though, I can't disagree with that!

Or maybe 4 

Think about the fact that she was 5 when Justin Bieber started, completely too young when Michael Jackson died, didn't even experience Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveSounds era, doesn't know a world without YouTube and Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera were always talent show judges for her 

PS. I'm writing most of these artists' full names because I wanna be sure she knows who I'm talking about 

I'm a he

IWBWY was like her tribute to Little Monsters and there was a *bit* of monster worthy drama when she decided to dedicate it something seemingly just as/more important to her as her fans, namely cannabis.

I never saw it like that. After all she sings she need us *more* than dope.

And even if it doesn't go for cannabis, the fact that people choose certain drugs before their job, spouse and children, I'm ok with that.

I mean to quote five foot two "my fans are my heart and soul" ♥️ Dope is essentially her saying "please forgive me little monsters because I love you more than you'll ever know. You're the salt to my pepper and if you ever left me, it would be so devastating I don't know if I'd ever recover from it." That's just heartbreaking to me. Yeah we drive her crazy sometimes but at the end of the day, she wouldn't have it any other way. She couldn't live without her monsters. "My heart would break without you. Might not awake without you".

Aww! Same happened with me in the early 2000s when I was like 9-10. I caught up with sooo much 90s music because I started getting into music and pop culture when I was 5-6, so I already knew Nirvana, Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls 

So I get where you're coming from. You know more music than the average kid your age.

Sorry for thinking you're a girl btw

I think that Dope and IWBWY are both special in their own way, and sometimes I feel the necessity to sing IWBWY because I love that:" I don't care what they say cause I was born this way..." but honestly I think that Dope, for the album at least, was a better choice. Dope is such a personal song and the first time I heard it, when I was exploring ARTPOP song by song when every song would have been a surprise or a delusion, I felt so sad but at the same time so inspired and ,I remember It was late night, I listened Dope in repeat... such good memories. Off topic: when The Fame came out I was 6 years old and when The Fame Monster came out Telephone was my ringtone in a old Nokia,thanks to my sister.

That's how I interpreted it as well, but I guess people were blindsighted by the word dope. They were o u t r a g e d !

We monsters are level headed and not prone to flare ups like that I guess. We tend to over read stuff.

soo.. I loved. The ARTPOP era.. But I was like 9/10 then and didn't know alot about ARTPOP aisde from the album and tour.. I heard I wanna be with you a while ago and thought it sounded familiar and todayi listened to dope and I wanna be with you and realised they had some of the same lyrics and were sung the same way.. What's the deal with that?? Is it an early version of dope??

OMG WE'RE THE SAME AGE

I thought I was the only one but I'm not

I thought she changed it because her label wanted to I Wanna Be With You to be a single, and Gaga said "You just like the ballad because of how popular Adele and Lorde are right now. If you want a ballad, I'll give you a ballad." So she changed it to be rebellious. At least in part. It does have real meaning behind it. 

I never heard that before, I remember Gaga saying her label wanted something different because I Wanna Be With You wasn't relatable to the GP
