Why wasn't Dance in the Shadow a single?

[tlittlemonster 497]

According to the album's official label, it looks like "Abracadabra" and "Vanish into You" will the the final singles...

So, I was wondering why Dance in the Shadow (of a Man) isn't being released as single??

I know we only heard a very short snippet of it but the sound seemed to be the most radio-friendly of all snippets/leaks so far...

Yes I know, but you can't deny the chord progression alone sounds super mainstream in contrast to Abracadabra for example.

She was cruel to whet our appetite with that snippet first and then make us wait so long for it.

But at least this way we can (hopefully) gatekeep it lol

I feel like Shadow of a Man will be a closer for MAYHEM era. Probably the last single before the tour kick off

The chorus of Aura also sounds super mainstream before the second verse's beat drops out of nowhere

Because it's actually called "shadow of a man", not moon

Because Gaga wants to eat Mazzy Star's nachos

Wouldn't jump into conclusions based on a 5 second snippet

its sounds like a dance/pop song, and to be honest so far its my favorite 
and i think it will be a single

The weeknd released a very similar song soon after she teased it so she can't release it anymore. People would say she is copying him.
