Replay should've been the single instead of Stupid Love

I said what I said.

In ‘Replay’ Lady Gaga brings back all her allegories of ‘Monster’. Both from the song ‘Monster’ off of The Fame Monster Deluxe but also from what she has always embodied Monsters as: her fans.

‘He ate my heart’ she laments in the 2009 track, ‘Am I still alive? The monster inside you is torturing me’ she continues on this new track, more than a decade later, going full circle on exploring how trauma has affected her life.

The approach this time around can be see as a bit more different: more resigned, the dance-y melody in the background transports her and us and makes it feel like it’s ok. The music will get us through this, just dance, as a juxtaposition to the ‘Monster’ 2009 track where instead we could see a more scared, naive version of Gaga approaching trauma.

On Gaga’s Spotify storyline she clarifies how she sees a trauma that plagued her as a driving force for being braver “But really Chromatica cannot exist without an abstract explanation of what it’s like to be triggered if you have PTSD.”

i think Stupid Love was a good light hearted return to dance pop, Replay would serve well as 3rd/4th single that helps promote the album's darker side more

mother, what must i do?

I think Free Woman should've been the best choice

A lot more songs on Chromatica could have been singles but I think we’re about to enter a new era anyway, sooner than later.

After about 6-8 months, Chromatica will have been 3 years ago. I think it’s time to bury all that. :ohwell:

I mean, I've said it before, I don't get the craze around Replay. I'm just not a big fan of the production, I think the remix is actually far superior. Stupid Love was the right single for what she wanted to introduce us to at that moment in time.

Replay is a great song but it's a grower. Stupid Love was the right choice for lead single because Rain On Me was going to be a hit either way. 

Y'all love Replay now but this would've gotten dragged by fans as a lead single just like Perfect Illusion.

Alice

Rain On Me

and then Replay (and the album release)

Stupid Love could have been a promo single in between Alice and Rain On Me.

Sour Candy next then Babylon could have been the tour single.
