Shallow is like gagas biggest hit ever in many places and atleast on a bad romance/poker face level. I doubt INLA would come close to that. It's not even the 2nd most liked song of the movie because that is ARTUW. I bet INLA would been a hit as the lead but not shallow big. I guess we will never know unless we can travel to an alternate universe where Shallow was paid dust and INLA reigns as lead single Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shallow was also included in the trailer. They knew they wanted this track as a single very well if you ask me. First off, there's no 'right' or 'wrong' here; everything's hypothetical. Second, I am not arguing that they weren't intending for Shallow to be a single. It was supposed to be a buzz single so you're right. But the HIT of the era was supposed to be INLA, that's what I believe anyway Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I only remember the one where Bradley perfoms it in the Drag bar and the other one where she joins him on stage. What scene am I missing? OP: This is not a Gaga album. You can’t compare the decisions that were made for her official albums with a soundtrack. ASIB soundtrack is an album and it's named under Lady Gaga ergo it's a Gaga album Kidding :p I kinda get what you mean, but her management still has a say with the release of the songs.

Shallow was gonna be a cute promo but they deceived themselves into thinking that INLA might be bigger because it's got that sad love story I Will Always Love You and My Heart Will Go On like story. They sent it to radio first and tried to make it happen. Shallow being released a week before the movie was a last minute decision they said. GP wanted Shallow. So they instead moved on to Shallow as the main single after the immense success that came on digital and streaming. It was sent to radio for impact 2 weeks after its release. Imagine if Shallow hadn't been released before the movie and so it wasn't eligible for Grammys. The meltdowns. Yes, thanks for explaining it better. It was a classic Gaga single switcheroo.

Quartz 12,524 Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 28 minutes ago, NewYorkCity said: He could be right. And IWNLA is obviously the epic ballad in the movie. The only thing that makes me think this is not correct is that they used shallow in the trailer. Still, they could be thinking: let’s put this out while the movie is gaining buzz and then we release I’ll never love again when the movie is out. That makes sense. But the shallow succes exceded everything they we expecting. But @peopleresponding the argument of shallow being performed 3 times in the means nothing. Maybe it’s time is in the movie like 100 times and I don’t think it was meant to be a single. Thanks for acknowledging my point, I feel seen And great point regarding Maybe It's Time. I still believe that they were really ramping up their promo for INLA as the last song promoted to the max in time for the Oscars after all the buzz singles. Shallow just overshadowed ha Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonsterOfSpain 8,318 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It's definitely an interesting thread but as many people have pointed out, Shallow was meant to be the big song all along. I do agree that they didn't expect it to be that big, and that switching singles in pretty much every album cycle is definitely not a good decision, and that it really affected her videography. But, let's also not forget that BDR was initially meant to be the second single instead of Poker Face, so changing singles isn't always wrong per se.
