SlayMeToVenus 3,271 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Let’s say she does what Taylor is doing & does an ARTPOP 10th Anniversary Box Set, with Act l & Act ll, would you want Do What U Want included, but a Gaga’s Version? I’m hoping it’s included in some way. I don't have a Diamond Heart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnglerfishbraBENUS 5,578 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 ARTPOP is not ARTPOP without DWUW. But permanently removing and not replacing with the solo version is so ARTPOP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzox 552 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I'd love for a re recording with new lyrics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfonso 1,412 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Obviously, it's one of her best songs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defmix100 5,948 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 was it ever specified which lyrics R Kelly is still credited for in the solo version? I always assumed she recorded the solo version we have before he was ever brought in but that wouldn't make sense for his credits then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy 10,754 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Honestly just let it go lol at the end of the day it’s a great song but if I were her and I’d written so many songs in my career I’d be like “and I will write another” and keep it moving Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonBaetens 6,850 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 No. I never liked that song bh. when you're lonely, I'll be lonely too / https://www.last.fm/user/SimonBaetens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian 568 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Getting a worldwide solo version release would be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LateToCult 39,800 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 No. It has to stay buried. Releasing a solo version would only bring attention to the R Kelly mess again. This time around the gp might find the music video leaks and performance. Cancelation of the year me thinks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrytheminogue 125 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 DWUW is a highlight of ARTPOP and definitely deserves to be celebrated for its anniversary - it’s really a shame the song and its meaning was tarnished by R Kelly. A solo version would be most welcome but we at least have the Christina Aguilera version (which should have replaced the R Kelly version on the album back in 2019 instead of being completely removed imo).

Starmie25 13,569 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I have a gut feeling she'll do a one-off performance of "DWYW" someday and that'd probably be its final one (closure) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylerjs 5,497 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Nah I truly never cared much for the song in general anyway. I always thought it felt very out of place on ARTPOP in that it was self-aware, but in the wrong context. To be perfectly honest with you it almost feels like it belongs on The Fame, but let me not get the girls too riled up edit: I am not saying it’s a “bad” record or that me disliking it is the reason it belongs on The Fame 🇨🇺🇧🇸 monica from rhoslc kinda had a point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowman 7,906 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 We still have the Xtina version, that’s enough for me Check out my new single 'Loon' - https://open.spotify.com/track/7q1GGm2mBlC9hPWige0C6e?si=6b5319d0e3b44fa6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I am glad I have a purchased copy of ARTPOP (despite how I feel about it) so I can continue to listen to DWUW as it was released because it is a spectacular song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
