Rolodex of Hate 1,721 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I think that although many fans like Why Did You Do That for being catchy, it was actually meant to represent typical mindless mainstream pop music. I actually really like the melodic contour of the verses, but the chorus is obnoxious and horrible; 'Why did you do that do that do that do that do that to me?'. Unlike most of Gaga's songs, it's superficial and talks about things like 'ass' and 'texting', again intending to reflect what we might commonly hear on cheap mainstream pop records. While I don't feel the intention was to necessarily create a bad song, it was definitely meant to be an archetype of cheap processed music which takes away from who Ally really is as an artist, reinforced by the camera's cut to Jack looking saddened at her development as an artist now in the mainstream realm; such a huge step back from her opening 'La Vie en Rose'.

Xoxo Adriana 15,040 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 definitely not my favourite song off the OST, but it isn't too bad. Today's music is far cheaper than this song. If this is considered Gaga's "worst", then a lot of mainstream artists "best" music is far below this song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I wouldn't categorise it as Gaga's worst as I don't think she would ever release anything like it, I think it might be Ally's worst.

I’d compare it to a song from Ariana Grande’s new album. Cheap current mainstream pop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was definitely meant to symbolise Ally getting swallowed up by the pop music machine rather than owning her craft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
