It doesn't even fit the albums aesthetics... it should have been swapped for Brooklyn Nights :vegas:  

But like IWBWU is superior to Dope in every way, glad we have both

Do  we really have IWBWY  tho??..imagine we had a HQ album  version

Dope was one of the most important songs in the album, and also one of the most personal songs she's ever written in her entire discography. It's way better written and it had more depth than IWBWY. We already have applause, putting IWBWY in the album would be redundant.

I feel like dope is the low after the high. 

The minimal instrumental is in contrast with the high energy pumping tracks of the album, expecially if you consider the placement in the album: after MJH (song about the fun of drugs) and Gypsy (which somehow gives hope after the depressing Dope) . 

This, this all the way.

Dope is one of Lady Gagas best ballads. The eccentric part of singing like a high/drunk person, no autotune, raw emotions etc. is one of a kind. :legend:

Always Remember That You Are Special, You Are Beautiful and You Are Loved

I agree with you, I also think this song doesn't fit ARTPOP, especially between Mary Jane Holland and Gypsy. :oprah:

But I understand how important this song, lyrically, is important for Lady Gaga. :oprah: That is why it is on this album.

You obviously don't understand one of the main themes of ARTPOP: 

"My pain exploding in electronic music"

It's not a happy album, it's Gaga trying to dance and rage and rave through her pain. Dope is the moment where she comes down from the high and deals with the situation. It's stark and jarring on purpose. It does exactly what it's meant to do.

and "lyrically sub-par" :air:

I know I ****ed up again
Because I lost my only friend
God forgive my sins
Don't leave me, I
Oh I will hate myself until I die

My heart would break without you
Might not awake without you
Been hurting low, from living high for so long

It's dark, incredibly raw and personal. Probably her saddest song imo, eclipsing Speechless and Princess Die.

Okay , i agree its a  personal  song for gaga hence its importance on ARTPOP

But just because lyrics are dark doesn't mean they are masterful 

I just feel like IWBWY is way better

I really don't get why so many fans hate Dope lmao. It's such a raw and sad song and as much as I liked I Wanna Be With You, Dope is like ten times better lyrically? I can see people being putt off by how she sings it though (I personally love it tbh).
