A Fried Egg 8,180 Posted Tuesday at 06:47 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:47 AM (edited) I’m genuinely curious. The song is 100% GP-acceptable. Literally a perfect song, I have no notes. It would have smashed and become a Halloween classic. Somebody explain to me the reasoning. Edited Tuesday at 06:50 AM by LeafBug 2 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartySick 150,926 Posted Tuesday at 06:51 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:51 AM Mayhem is a lot like The Fame in that no matter what she releases (single wise) there will always be other options that would also fit Had she released it then, this thread would probably say "Disease/Abracadabra should have been released last Halloween" That's a good thing though it means the album is full of quality tracks that could make sense commercially 🧡Should go home but the party wants me🧡 33 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starmie25 16,444 Posted Tuesday at 06:56 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:56 AM Unfortunately they were banking on Joker2 to transition into MAYHEM, but we all know how that went down... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivy 11,994 Posted Tuesday at 06:59 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:59 AM Well maybe it can still be for next fall! I agree it's a perfect song and could have a fun music video the meow in zombieboy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Maybe they only had budget for one MV and it had to go to Abra. And the one for Vanish Into You will be funded by Michael. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleks 3,926 Posted Tuesday at 07:03 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:03 AM Probably because it was too obvious / cringe worthy to release a single with "zombie" in its title for Halloween But it's one of my favorite songs from the album and I would love for it to have a MV / single treatment!

bpmMonkey 5,003 Posted Tuesday at 07:05 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:05 AM I think Disease was the right choice. It created a good amount of hype since the sound was so "out there" for her. It was risky enough to make waves, it was heavy enough for LMs to get excited and her vocal performance is stellar. Zombieboy would have been one of the safest choices she and her team could have made - and i'm so happy she ain't a safe queen 10 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at any Halloween playlist the only time a lot of those artists get massive amounts of streams are during Halloween. Gaga probably gets a bump too. Monster, Bloody Mary, and Disease were in most playlists this past Halloween. 🧡Should go home but the party wants me🧡 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartz 12,112 Posted Tuesday at 08:00 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:00 AM Disease would have been a LOT bigger (even viral) if the music video had danceable choreo that can be replicated in TikTok like Abracadabra. I will die on this hill. Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 1 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
