Usually 3-4 minutes, but if everything's executed well, the longer the better, songs can feel like stories, I love those two and I never feel like they're too long! And theyre 10:07 and 8:03 long.

 

I've been getting messages from my deep waters

obviously depends on tempo but for a regularly structured song, 3-5 minutes is perfect.
but like poltergeist said above, i LOVE a longer song when it's done properly and not just constantly repeating like all too well (10 minute version) (taylor's version) (from the vault)

thouroughfare & sun bleached flies by ethel cain and venice bitch by lana are great examples

Around 3:30 is the perfect song in most cases, but I love 4+ when it's done well. Few in pop can pull this off but Gaga manages with majority of BTW, and even her 5 min songs :firega: (The Queen, Yoü and I, Edge of Glory)

Tbh I wish Gaga would go this route again, I love the instrumental breakdowns in BTW.

Born This Way has the longest songs out of her discography. and it feels very expansive in its own universe. On the contrary, Chromatica has the shortest amount of song runtimes and its very tight and concise. 

For me it depends on the song I guess, but I love 3-4 minutes!

This is why I feel BTW will always be just a step above Chromatica :huntyga:

Depends on genre tbh, pop and most commercial genres 3:30 to 4 minutes. Symphonic metal, give me those 10 minutes masterpieces.

BUT there are some short songs that work really well hitting the 2:30 min mark.

Depends on the song, the artist/band, the genre, etc. Gaga did long songs so well with The Fame Monster and Born This Way and not a lot of popstars can do that. My vote goes to 3-4 minutes because it's not short but also not long, just a middle ground.

I also really love Chromatica because to Gaga's standards they're all short songs and the only one that feels "long" is Plastic Doll. So on my quick listen to the album I go Alice, Rain On Me, 911, Sour Candy, Enigma, Replay and Babylon and it just feels satisfying.
