It wouldn’t have mattered. No one was listening to what she had to say at the time. GUY was for the fans to get one last single they wanted but it by no means was put out with commercial confidence (hence why she funded the video herself and likely also why she directed it herself)

@Bradley Ziggy is right...

 

she was at the low point of her career where everyone was sick and tired of her and no one liked her cuz she was too "weird and desperate for attention"...

 

nothing she did would of made GUY a hit at that time tbh

And she was “desperate for attention” just for showing her art and all her fashion excellence while others need to wear a neo nazi shirt for attention nowadays. 
that makes me sick of my stomach to be really honest

Ehhh I think she wouldn’t have done all the radio stuff (for a third single mind you) and the decently promoted video premiere if she didn’t at least want to try to get it out there to the masses. The video actually debuted rather well too - had it been released at the beginning of the tracking period back then the track probably could’ve went top 50. Gaga’s always been promo sensitive - she may have been under looots of scrutiny and pressure at that time, but even DWUW just months prior shot up iTunes (still relevant at the time) every time she performed it

It didn't help that the song had a bizarre release pattern. The radio release didn't happen until two weeks after the video release in the US, and a month after the video release in the UK. Also, digital downloads and remixes didn't come out until minimum one month after the video came out. The release pattern was messy and it honestly hampered a more successful (even if not much) single release.

I actually don’t want it to because it’s one of my favourite songs and I won’t be able to play it without people going ‘oh that’s that TikTok song’ like they do now with Bloody Mary :laughga:

I don’t mean I don’t want people to know it, I don’t want to gatekeep it - it deserves SO much success, I wish more people knew it, imagine G.U.Y. in clubs in the 2024 lol. I wish it were more famous, but not like this :cryga:

The lead single that never was! Its naturally a comeback single with its fierceness and introduction and kick-ass production! Imagine the controversy for the gender bending lyrics and I imagine Gaga playing Eve in the Garden of Eden with her wavy brown hair in the intro. How the singles went in my mind: 

G.U.Y. (August 2013)

Applause (October 2013)

DWUW (January 2014)

Gypsy (May 2014)

These felt like the only "single worthy" songs on the album.

If there's one song in Gaga's discography that has the potential for a Cruel Summer/Running Up That Hill-esque return from the dead, it's hands down G.U.Y. :giveup:

Mister G

G.U.Y. is a very good track…but it‘s not her best track from ARTPOP. And I also wouldn’t agree with the fact that people claim she was desperate for attention. Lowpoint in her career yes, but a lot of that was due in part to the drama going on behind the scenes with scrapped videos, content, management changes, disagreement with what she wanted to do that era VS what her label wanted.

The video is truly a masterpiece, but as she pointed out this was a love letter to her fans and a massive thank you to those that stuck around even at her lowpoint. At most, I would say it’s a Top 5 from ARTPOP, but not the best of the 5.
