SlayMeToVenus 3,058 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AnglerfishbraBENUS 3,840 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 ARTPOP is not ARTPOP without DWUW. But permanently removing and not replacing with the solo version is so ARTPOP. 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dzox 549 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I'd love for a re recording with new lyrics 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Alfonso 1,119 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Obviously, it's one of her best songs 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Defmix100 5,461 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 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
Ziggy 9,345 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 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 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Italian 537 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Getting a worldwide solo version release would be great. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LateToCult 32,674 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 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. 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites
marrytheminogue 68 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 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). 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Staryu17 4,638 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 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
soularpower 2,952 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) 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 Edited March 19 by soularpower 🇨🇺 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bowman 4,024 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 We still have the Xtina version, that’s enough for me 𝕯𝕵, 𝖋𝖗𝖊𝖊 𝖒𝖞 𝖒𝖎𝖓𝖉 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Agunimon 16,910 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 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. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
