I think that the best thing from all this is the actual Collab with the magnificent Tim Burton. Not even the video itself but the future potentials from it..

The video is fun and beautiful (she have better n worst)

The song for me is 6,5/10 and the only sad thing is, that (the need because of the series for) this song and this Collab, made it a single n a video in a time that way better songs lost the chance for a single treatment n promo.

Vanisha says "hi"..

But, Ok. I ll take it as it is

Anyone else cry at the end of watching the MV? Wasn’t expecting to but I think the full moon symbol has made this era come full circle with CBT…and this song reminds me so much of SOAM

and Chromatica.

It's a really cool song that could be in the album from the beginning. It really make me believe that Mayhem is indeed a fun funky halloween album (when we take away 2-3 songs). 

The MV is ok because Gaga is so charismatic I could watch her pee in a bucket for 3 minutes and be untertained. + shooting in the dolls island in mexico is thug although a bit invasive lmao (read the story of the place it's pretty insane)

The song is catchy for sure but compared to other Mayhem tracks lacks something. Production is amazing though.

The video on the other hand... Underwear why people think it's simple but I love it. Probably the best Mayhem video so far in terms of technical filmmaking. 

I wish that initial long scene where the camera doesn't move was shorter and that there was more of a story line to it

But it's growing on me a bit

I do wonder if this is the closing chapter of Mayhem. Please don't be.

Yall I feel like shxt from my initial reaction to the video, idk how it grew on me so much for 5 hours 

This is why I trust her so much, in the end youll love it

It's a JAM and the video is FUN

If I was just going off of the idea of Gaga x Burton I would have thought a video would have these kinds of visuals, (I thought the Tudum performance felt more Burtonish than the actual music video they've made)

Something much bigger and fit for Halloween, more dancers, maybe her dying in different ways at the end similar to the chaos at the end of the John Wayne video like she could be a singing head relating to Burton's Sleepy Hollow and different nods to his other movies in some ways, also maybe her sewing her arm onto her body like Sally in Nightmare Before Christmas

[darkgaga 5,418]

I just wish the vibe of the verses continued in the chorus, or that the chorus would have been more powerfull and melodic. Maybe the “when you killed me inside” should have been the start of the chorus, and longer, with a darker vibe. 
 

Also the vid. Idk. I need more than one outfit. And this long shot in the first verse annoys me, especially when the smoke comes in and Gaga dissappears. Also wish the dance part was less static. How is it possible that Burton can direct series and movies very well, and make this video so stale

I feel like maybe this is on purpose because it's after all Wednesday, not the Gaga show, so she should just be a small part and not trying to get tons of attention for herself. She's just supposed to be a fun guest star

It’s her special release song.  She’s the star of the video.

I love knowing EXACTLY where this will appear in the MAYHEM Ball setlist based on this lyric:

"You stole my thoughts before I dreamed them
And you killed my queen with just one pawn"

Probably at the beginning of Act 2 then, or maybe as a new interlude?

I've been thinking about the verses a lot, it sounds like a Richy shade to me 🤭

We need to dissect the lyrics
