A Fried Egg 8,310 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I get that the lyrics aren't 'deep' but it could have been a good anti-bullying song or something. The song itself is so catchy. Feels like a missed opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elijahfan 25,670 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 It was unreleased for a reason. She didn't want to give Cher a song that wasn't even considered good enough for herself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Claws 18,665 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 From what I heard, Lady Gaga did not like her vocals in the song, but Cher loved it. But since the song is by Gaga, she chose not to release Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonkers 28,944 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I love it so much, I think it is the perfect Cher song and she said the final version is different than what leaked. I can understand that if she's going to release a song with an icon it should be one she would love to promote, but this is the one thing I would take up with Gaga if she ever makes my drink at Starbucks. "And you?" "Pumpkin spice latte, bitch. When you gonna let Cher release that song?"

GagaUnderYou 4,977 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Gaga didn't want to put it out. Cher seems pretty annoyed when talking about it. She really wanted to put it out. It was a decent song, would have been a signature hit for Cher. I remember I was obessed with Greatest when Gaga's solo version leaked in 2010. The version we have apparently isn't the final mix of TGT according to Cher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YCHofficial 5,293 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Cher's version with Gaga as duet was planned to be released in September of 2011. The song was then replaced to be the 2nd single due to delay in the production. For an interview for 20/20, Cher stated that "there is a track with Lady Gaga, but it’s very on the line right now…she may not want to be on album." On May 13, 2013, Cher explained to a fan what she meant by saying that Gaga may not be on the song: "It’s a great disappointment for me. Put vocals on forever ago, but the track needed to be RedOne & mixed. But before it was finished she decided she didn’t like it, & that’s that. She did a great job, but she didn’t like it so, it’s good, but only seventeen people will hear it." On June 10, 2013, Cher tweeted about the song saying: "You think you’ve waited? It’s done & [Gaga] doesn’t like it, or want it to come out. She’s an artist, it’s up to her. I'm disappointed too." Gaga revealed to fans earlier in 2012 that she didn't like the way they edited her vocals on the song and thus, she doesn't want her vocals to be included. On June 11, a fan asked Cher if she could release the song without the duet and she replied: "Could be, but it's a great duet! I redid my vocals, always hated it & loved Hers! Now I like mine too! RedOne was to redo the track, But he blew it off. Have singers who like song, but not production, it's old. Red’s contract says no one is allowed to touch the track & he’s MIA."

Twitter 14 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Didn’t she say she wanted to make a better song because Gaga thought it wasn’t good enough. Now as the years went by the song is very cliché imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closer to the Truth came out on September 20th, 2013. I looked on Gagapedia and saw that you got this explanation from there. Whoever wrote this on Gagapedia most likely ment September of 2013, although the lead and second singles were released in June and October of that year, respectively. he/him/his Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this should be immediately shared with anyone that ever asks this question again. THAT BEING SAID, part of me is just like....she should've just given it the green light, had the duet in her official repertoire, get the streams and attention, and then work on a better song after this one did well. I mean personally I think it was kind of corny and its not like it was going to be a #1 smash BUT the Cher consumers would've dug it, older gays wouldve dug it, younger gays wouldve dug it. It just wouldve been successful within their demographics so in that sense to me she shouldve just released it but I get where shes coming from here.
