FfFfFfFF 54,887 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 This day in 2016, Gaga released Perfect Illusion as the lead single off Joanne. Primarely pop-rock, the track also features punk vocals, a very fast tempo dance vibe and hints of disco and electronic in the instrumental. In the US the song debuted inside the top 20 and peaked at #1 in select countries and territories such as France, Greece, Finland and Wallonia. Despite its initial negative reception from fans, the song became an underrated gem in Gaga's discography according to some. Do you remember this day? Did your opinion on the song change over the years? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat 6,162 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Truly an underrated gem, hope she keeps performing this on her tours. The gays really paid this song dust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlepotter 74,790 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I will never understand the hate for this song. It's without a doubt one of her career highlights, her second best to me. The raw passion and anger that song exudes is so intense I don't see how anyone can listen and hear just noise chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid AT 78 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 A discography highlight. Aged like fine wine and the perfect window into the "Joanne" era. A true rush of emotions from the get go. Listening to this song every single time is like having adrenaline pumped right into your veins. The key change and the long vocal belt right before the outro >>> I'll never forget when I heard the opening guitar riffs in this teaser. Loved it and a fan since day one.

Red 97,490 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Been the best song on Joanne, still the best song on Joanne and forever will be the best song on Joanne If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose P 23,341 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 This song was definitely the ultimate grower for me. When it first came out I hated it so much I had already accepted I didn’t like Gaga anymore and gave up on her music. Million Reasons was actually what got me into Joanne and kept me from unstanning during that era (that and the Super Bowl) But now I actually love the song and is one of my favorites from the album Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
