Y'all are saying Taylor and yep Gaga might took some inspo from her but also 80s singers such as Debbie Gibson. :koons:

But I noticed that this song sounds a bit like "The Cure" and "Love me right" too.

Yeah, it definitely harkens back to Gaga’s 80s synthpop roots as well as her roots in early naughts “girlie pop” (a la Ally in ASIB), but it’s honestly the lyrics and the rhythmic music phrasing, as well as certain production nuances, that also evoke Taylor Swift.

Oh I hear it! I also think it sounds like Posh Life and Brooklyn Nights at parts. Very Stefani-Ga

Totally un-related but do ya'll hear it as, "How bad do you want me" as in, how badly do you want me, or how bad do you want me to be?

I only realised today it could be both, which one do you think she means or is it intended to mean both?

Now that I think about it, HBDYWM sounds a lot like Hair, Body, Face; just 2010s 80s inspired pops version, and not 2018 tropical house sounding.

Love how we all agree with your point but rather discuss your cuteness. 😆

I think it can be both at the same time, like a juxtaposition. The title alone reads like "how bad (much) do you want me?" but in the song she's saying bad twice as in "how bad do you want me to be?".

Also when I first heard the song it sounded nothing at all like what I was expecting from the song title. I didn't expect it to sound so girly-pop esque. I thought it would be maybe more sensual or dark sounding. So I think that could also be interpreted as this sort of contrast between both ideas.
