How is it NOT a sad song? It's about reminiscing over a past love and wishing you could go back in time and be with them, but in a sad, melancholy way because you know you can't. I mean "it was cold in the summertime, we were happy just to be alive" makes me go a bit misty-eyed and she even sounds sad and maudlin when she sings "can I vanish into you?" The verses are too artsy for the public too, even I don't know what "sirens blow past our heads" means. How does it sound like something Sabrina would make? She makes breezy summery songs about sex, HBDUWM sounds like something she'd make. Sounds a bit more like Chappell, granted, but not as anthemic and campy. HBDUWM is what a summer single sounds like, that song is happy and pure sunshine.

Maybe I'm utterly wrong about this but I just feel it's a massive mistake making it a single. And if it flops, there's a huge chance it could impact how far the album's promo campaign can go from here. Disease flopped, Abra massively underperformed, we can't risk a third consecutive single tanking. The next choice has to be right. And it has to be safe. Garden of Eden and HBDUWM are the best summer options. If both those songs become singles, I'll be happy. VIY can come at the end, if all else fails, but not right now. We have to give the public what they want and it's not this. I hope Gaga does indeed read GGD so she can see some dissenting opinions. 

She meant sirens like ambulances bc they’re driving on the highway I think. It’s not really artsy; it’s pretty straightforward tbh it just sounds pretty lol I’d agree with HBDYWM as potential but I think garden of eden, while fun, gets a liiiiiittle cringe with the garden of Eden parts. She could sell it though! I don’t think your single choices are all bad either but I could see a certain immediacy to VIY or Killah that could catch attention well but VIY feels like it would perform better at a festival which is likely where she wants to premiere the next single’s performance. Anthony Fantano said it sounded like ABBA and I totally agree. Plus it’s a huge sonic departure from the darker sounds of Disease and Abracadabra which could put it closer to the fans who like DWAS. The only problem with HBDYWM’s chances are the TSwift comparisons. That might hurt its recognizability on the charts
