They were the first ones to recieve DITD (& Monster) during the battle for the 4th TFM European single Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also pretty obvious that John Wayne was part of Gaga's vision for the era, and she still wanted to share this with the fans regardless of what the label wanted. So she got to execute her vision while letting the label release the singles they wanted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franch Toast 26,810 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 "A-YO" is one of my favorite tracks from Joanne. She performed it on James Corden's show as well, and it's used in Jazzercise routines. She/Her/Hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they ever really expected the upbeat songs to do that well, they probably wanted to experiment with a few different songs in case one them them would take off, but I guess they were aware that Gaga had to release stripped down music after ARTPOP/before ASIB. They probably made every choice at the very last minute in the Joanne era. For exemple, I find it very strange that they released the MR video so late... for THIS. There must have been a lot of things happening backstage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamite 58,739 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Today I learnt that Joanne was a single. I just thought it was a gift to the fans. Like a poem said by a neydy in red Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Million Reasons was scheduled for the Superbowl. Nothing else would have done better as the third single. My point was that she wanted A-YO to be the single before it (as the second single) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopRoyalty 180 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 LOL Million Reasons was a struggle hit. I did well after the Superbowl . She literally performed the song at every event in 2016 and early 2017 hoping to get a smash hit from the ballad. AYO could have been a great lead, it's radio friendly, catchy, and infectious. It is really representative of the whole album and the country sound and her whole cowgirl aesthetic. She should have put more effort into Perfect Illusion and gave us some live performances in addition to the radio tours she was going on. John Wayne should have been the single around Superbowl time or Diamond heart with an american themed video! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevbev 411 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I think it should have been the lead single, followed by Million Reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zachary Jude 155 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 A-YO is so incredibly underrated. I do wonder how it would have performed as the lead single instead of Joanne. Think it's a wound I still entertain... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consuelanono 238 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 She wanted John Wayne. The label didn’t. She got her way with a music video. I don’t think A-Yo was ever an option beyond initial brainstorming. If anything, it would’ve been JW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
