ROM Song Structure Theory

Hello everyone! :queenga:

Earlier today, I was relentlessly humming the godly post chorus of Rain On Me ("I hear the thunder coming down on me...") and it got me thinking..

Do you all think that that part of the song will follow every chorus, or will only follow the second/last chorus?

Gaga has done songs in the past where the second portion of the chorus isn't introduced until later in the song (ie. The "I could be your girl, girl, girl.." hook after the second chorus & final chorus of Heavy Metal Lover) and I think it might be the case for ROM? For those of you that heard the early leak of Rain On Me, you'll remember that after the first part of the chorus ("I'm out of the downpour, at least I'm alive..." or whatever she says), it dropped out to a deep, robotic voice repeating "Rain on me, me, me" rather than going into the second part of the chorus. Some of y'all think that this robotic voice part was scrapped and replaced for the longer chorus, but it might just be the structure of the first chorus?? 

What do y'all think? Will Rain On Me snatch the Pop Duo/Group Performance grammy either way, or would you prefer one of the outcomes over the other? Am I thinking about ROM too much? Is my quarantine boredom showing? Sound off below

I thought the same.. I think Gaga will probably sing the first part of the chorus alone then after verse 2 (ari's verse) they'll both come together and sing that thunder part

I pray that she keeps it for every chorus. It’s catchy and the original chorus would be too short :laughga: it also gives Ariana a solo part in the chorus, which I think is better than both Gaga and ariana singing the chorus together

Intro, 1st verse (Gaga), pre-chorus + chorus (Gaga and Ari), 2nd verse (Ari), pre-chorus + chorus (Gaga and Ari), Bridge and then chorus again (Gaga and Ari)

I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time.

I really don't like snippets :triggered: Ariana's part is little bit better but still basic :triggered:

hope there is left some good parts or snippets are fake :triggered::ladyhaha:

The bassline is also COMPLETELY different in both clips. The first one didn't have much of a bassline - it was more piano based. The newer one has an almost Dua Lipa Pretty Please type funk bassline
