RAMROD 107,451 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 “The first single from ARTPOP was supposed to be ‘Sexxx Dreams’, but then I wrote ‘Applause’ and I was like “No, this one has to be the single!”, and a lot of people don’t know that but you produced ‘Applause’ - Lady Gaga to Tchami on #GagaRadio Well?

Borislshere 52,866 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 No. Idk how it would've worked as a single and the censored version is a mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatelynnMarie 4,393 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 No. I love Sexxx Dreams, but I think Applause was the better lead single of the two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illuminati 15,901 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 No but she's a bit inconsistent with the whole story I'm guessing that's why they wanted Robin Thicke on it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose P 23,341 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 No it would have been a mess, and she would have been over faster. Applause will always be the best lead single choice for ARTPOP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 37,517 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 No, we knew about this. The thing is that she said something different back then so not sure what to believe anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRedd 3,139 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Applause definitely works better over Sexxx Dreams. The lead single should give you an insight into the album, the era, and set the tone for what’s to come. Sexxx Dreams isn’t about anything meaningful. Applause came after a long hiatus and it set up ARTPOP well. I love Sexxx Dreams. Maybe it should’ve been a single but Gaga made a great decision here.

RenegAde 18,725 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 No , applause was a better lead and embodies ARTPOP in its style . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

petty 9,412 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I’m not mad but I’m not surprised that she once again made a bad decision Sexxx Dreams would’ve scalped as a first single and would’ve slayed Roar in a way that Applause couldn’t. As great as Applause is, it was a risky decision but Sexxx Dreams would’ve been a radio smash. But her motto for the era was "music not the bling" so her going with Applause makes sense.

JaysAMess 27,843 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 No, I think Applause was the right choice. Although, Sexxx Dreams featuring Rihanna as the lead single is a different story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delulu Rogers 7,146 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Applause was the better choice but idk what to believe from her anymore. We all remember a time where she said applause wasn’t even going to be on the album and it was Jimmy and the label that wanted it on and as the lead. Besides that, we all agree that aura was suppose to be the lead, then it wasn’t and she leaked it herself. So idk where this sex dream and her wanting applause as the lead talk is coming from. Her story doesn’t match up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This version is empty and boring, especially chorus. I'm glad she changed it, as well as MANiCURE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
