imo it sounded dated, I have a feeling gp (even myself) was done with EDM by 2014, I've always said ARTPOP would have been a massive album if it was released in 2012

Well it was released too late in the era, ala 911 :huntyga:

Well if 911 was an official single (it isn't one, right?) it would have had a similar amount of succes as G.U.Y. Since both songs were released after months of silence and they weren't promoted at all. (Well 911 got some remixes, 3 months later)

Also there were like 5 months in between the release of DWUW and G.U.Y. And people were kinda over her at that time.

holy scheisse

Ppl were sick of her. Truly. Ppl moved on to adele, lorde, lana.. no room for gagas sound or antics. Hence she turned to jazz for a reset

ARTPOP era was pretty much done by then and there was no promotion at all for it to gain visibility. Not only that, but the music video was way too long and that damaged it's replay value (she uploaded the shorter version afterwards)

Had Gaga released G.U.Y. standalone first and then the Film, hype would've been bigger. Add a couple live performances and it would've reached top 30

The GP weren't behind Gaga then and the ARTPOP era was already dead.

Literally a;; my non monster friends LOVE that song after I played it for them

I think a huge reason why it flopped so hard was because radio never gave it a chance. Which I expected, since the song is about being a POWER BOTTOM 

Spoiler

I will never understand how fans thought it was a good idea to make a POWER BOTTOMING anthem a single...)

It was only monsters that thought it was amazing lol GP would've heard it and thought 'wtf'. A bit like Replay... GP taste is not the same as liddo taste 

That is not true, everyone loves replay. Check YouTube, other forums and other fan accounts. GGD is actually the least place it gets a praise

released very late in the era and nobody really cared about her then tbh... people thought she was done

It came out like 7 months after Applause, there wasn’t that much promo either, she was overexposed/hated

People need to understand timing, promo and eras only matter for new artists during their Sophomore album at max (like Dua Lipa’s FN) other than that no matter what promo you do if it doesn’t click it doesn’t. 
 

Gaga was everywhere during ARTPOP she only disappeared for a month or two, and the controversy didn’t affect her much.

Musically the pop scene was changing from EDM (early 2010s) to RnB, Hip hop and Trap

That’s why Katy Perry did great with Dark Horse. 
 

COME ON GAYS!!
