LaLa 18,564 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 With IWBWY leaking, I wanted to go back and find this old interview of Gaga discussing how it evolved into Dope. It's interesting, it seems to me like maybe she never intended it to be on ARTPOP, but just something to play live (like she ended up doing) before she rewrote it. I know everyone has preferences of one version or the other, but either way it's cool to hear her talk about her own intentions and feelings. (I time stamped it, but just in case, relevant discussion starts at 11:06) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 87,357 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I remember her saying in an interview that the label said IWBWY wasn't relatable If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z 17,819 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I don't think I understand… She wanted to put IWBWY on the album, and just because her team was glad it was commercial, she changed it to something darker? I mean, it still hit #8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJRocketMan 2,684 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I like Dope way more than I Wanna Be With You. Dope is way more relatable to me, and I’m a big fan of it’s production whereas “You” sounds like a Celine Dion song. Give me a song about drug addiction and repentance over another song about love and relationships any day. We already have plenty of those. And Dope’s lyrics are much more clever!

blackpink 13,820 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I prefer Dope much more. Her delivery on that song is reminiscent of Freddie Mercury and just embodies that theatrical vibe he had. It’s a very raw heartfelt song, I hope she gives us another moment like that on LG6.

Very early demo rough. The lyrics don't flow or feel thought out at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edonis 25,958 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Dope has stronger lyrics even though IWBWY has a more "pretty" sound to it so I'm okay with the decision in the end. Plus the Rick Rubin production is divine. Dope is probably her most emotional ballad and one of her best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
