Hot take: Hold My Hand is the lead

Many people are talking about whether or not DWAS is Mayhem's lead single, but nobody is talking about the possibility of Hold My Hand being the lead.

There were many cases in which a singer released a lead only for it to be poorly received and then scrapped from the final tracklist. Nevertheless, it remains the lead single. I think HMH is one of those cases..

Lady Gaga planned for it to be the lead but was then quite surprised that OneRepublic of all people had a more successful single that was also (by chance) about planes and the US military. And then the song appeared on Top Gun, and after the release of the movie, Tom Cruise asked Gaga if he could use the already released song as the movie's OST lead, so of course she said yes and decided to take it out of LG7's tracklist.

Now with DWAS and Disease, I see many people claiming DWAS cannot be the lead since Gaga posted that infamouse "LG7 lead in octobr" photo on Instagram. But to those people I say:

1. the same photo said LG7 was coming in february. Does this mean Maymehm is NOT LG7?

2. DWAS was also released in october

so??

We have no way of knowing if it was originally gonna be part of her upcoming album but I think it turned out fine to be a standalone single for movie!

 

By the way, Hold My Hand was my wedding song and I love it despite the lukewarm reception from monsters :legend:

1. It wasn't the photo she posted that said February. That was the Vogue magazine interview.

2. DWAS was released in August.

The only discrepency is that it's written "LG7 first single". I believe DWAS wasn't meant for MAYHEM until after they saw its success. And I'm perfectly OK with that!

The melody that you choose can rescue you ♥

you are mistaken but it's understandable due to your already advanced age. DWAS was released in october, same month as Disease which was initially a promo single

I’m kinda shook to learn Monsters weren’t crazy about HMH! It’s one of my favs of hers!! (And I usually lean more towards the Judas/G.U.Y./John Wayne hard pop synth songs)
