Still neutral. I believe I will like it better when the video comes out. 

But I'm glad to see it met most people's expectations, in here. It's a song for her fans, and everyone here seems to love it. 

I couldn't care less about the GP tbh . As for me, like I said, it didn't blew me away, but it has grown on me in the last hour. 

I think the video will positively affect my perception of it. 

Exactly my thoughts

I find the lyrics very interesting, they don’t need to be overly complicated like some complaints I’m seeing. She’s singing about disease/sickness as a metaphor that will make more sense with the music video. Maybe that’s why some are struggling. It’s interesting enough and I can see the vision. I think it has a lot of layers, she’s talking to herself, her fans, her lover. 
 

The vocal performance is insane, she is so theatrical that makes the song uniquely hers. The pre chorus is very catchy and the middle of the chorus while some think it’s a throwaway “lay you down like 123 eyes roll back in ecstasy” is also very catchy. The second pre chorus “I can be your aNTIDOTE TONIGHT” with her grunt is just amazing. Along with the horror like back vocals, truly amazing. 
 

The only small critique I can have is the lack of unique lyrics in the bridge, she does do a couple different lyrics with the desire and secret lines. But I think she makes up with it her going nuts on the climax. 
 

This might be my fav lead single of hers, she just went there but also blended it so carefully to give it a little mainstream touch. We have been asking for this Gaga since we thought the original album the countess inspired but we got Joanne instead. Then we got a taste with 911 and Replay but this is it. Plus the dance in the shadow, abracadabra and notorious being snippets she put her all into this record, I just know it. Welcome back Gaga

At first listen i was a little bit dissapointed actually if I'm being honest. And now I am OBSESSED , these vocals , that background demonic voiceee and the beat  . It's literally mix of ARTPOP and born this way me thinks

with Joanne (Perfect Illusion), Chromatica, and ASIB vocals   I hear bits of 911 in the production too

[Brad 2,457]

I already loved it from first listen HOWEVER it somehow got even better when I hooked up my really good bluetooth player and could actually feel the beat in my bones 

[Dtwmjb12 320]

It's the best ****ing thing she's released and done all year

[robotvoiceinalice 1,307]

i was worried that I wouldn't enjoy this as much as Chromatica but this song grew on me a lot     Out of her lead singles, i still prefer stupid love more ngl but this is almost on par with it for me in terms of me liking it i mean

[Notthebling 1,894]

I see this song as a culmination for her, it was long in the making but she did it. My jaw is still on the floor.

Solid mix of the darkness of BTW, the synths of ARTPOP, the raw energy of Perfect Illusion. 

She’s not trying anything, it’s uniquely her, sonically. 
 

I will literally DIE the first time I get to hear this song live in a stadium. It is made to head bang, and scream until you have no more voice. I don’t remember the last time a Gaga release had this effect on me.

I’m so proud of her, relieved in a way. It’s been nerve-racking years, not knowing if she was ever gonna embrace her signature Gaga pop sound ever again. But there she is, I feel like she’s at her best, healed, surrounded, confident. She loves being Gaga again and you can hear it in Disease. 
 

❤️❤️❤️

I don’t mind the song, but very curious to find out what the other lead single candidates were when the album comes out.  I feel like I might react similar as I did with Stupid Love; I liked the song at first because I was so excited for new Gaga music, but once the album came out there were so many other songs I preferred and thought it was kinda a left field lead single choice.

Very excited for the music video though (follow up: It’s been 17 hours..where is the video?)

I'm trying so hard to like it

It's not working!

Now after nearly a day of having it on REPEAT...

• I do love the lyrics tbh. I think that especially the second verse lyrics are dope.  

• this beat is fuccin SICK, makes me wanna ride a disco stick  I just have to headbang. 

• I really love the loud production near the end. In general, the production is on fire and just massive. 

• her VOICE? I wasnt prepared for THAT vocal performance. After like 50 times I am still in shock with how good, how powerful and enchanting she sounds. Momma really had nurtured her talent and is in her vocal prime. This is the most powerful, haunted and energetic her voice has ever been to me. I mean, just LISTEN to her SAAAANG 

I really do love that b#*ch to pieces, for such a long time in my life now. And yet she still continues to surprise me with her talent and artistry everytime. When I woke up today and listened for the first time I instantly felt connected. And with every listen that song became even better.  

isnt it fabulous how far we have come? Its been such a long time since I felt THAT connected to a lead single. This bich is really coming for us gheys.  

 

[Melodean 8,273]

Random thought - but I feel like Disease is that signature Gaga song, it’s dark, dramatic and has that edge that all her fans love

Its like she’s combined bad romance, Judas, born this way, dancing in circles perfect illusion and like so many more elements from random songs that she’s done before I reeeeaallly love it A LOT

Honestly you shouldn't stress about it. If you don't like it, you don't like it, we are not an ACTUAL cult, is just a song . The album will probably have other songs that will connect with you better anyways, most likely. Is not a big deal

It’s ok… just very “safe” sounding and I was hoping for something a bit edgier. 

In…what way
