The way the Bad Romance is Christ loving us and forgiving/redeeming us in spite of our sinful nature. His Mind…

People forget that at the end of the day it’s Gaga’s decision what ends up on the album from the hundreds of ideas she gets and many artists do this with pitched demos, instrumentals, etc. stuff that is just sitting there for months and even years. 

Being said that, the only ones we know were recorded before her are the ones already mentioned.  I think Sine From Above is the one they changed the most for obvious reasons.

I’d be interested to know if there are more songs she didn’t start from scratch with the lyrics.

No, the “hard on the outside” is in the original demo

Oh…I misremembered. Her parts still did elevate the song, but yeah way less than I was thinking.

Well, she didn’t name the album Chromatica herself, so it’s not too hard to imagine

Gaga did name the album Chromatica herself. In interviews, she explained that the title came from her own creative concept — a world or planet she imagined, centered on healing, kindness, and music. The name reflects the idea of chromatic musical scales (all colors and tones), symbolizing inclusivity and emotional range.

Every day I find more facts that explain why I dislike Chromatica so much.

The May 2020 document leak revealed that she didn't write Brooklyn Nights, which is shocking because of how specific the lyrics are to her.

What? Are u sure that was Brooklyn Nights? Wasn’t that Nothing On?

Maybe this is wild speculation on my part, but I always kind of wondered if PI and CTM weren’t songs that she worked on with Tame Impala and FJM and they just recorded their own demos as part of the process. The songs, to me, definitely feel like Gaga had a major hand in writing and shaping them, but I could be wrong.

Interesting cause to me the instrumental sounds 100% Tame Impala.  The melody and lyrics are very Gaga. I never thought they mashed very well actually. The instrumental to me gets lost too much. I never listen to it, but live it sounds amazing because the pounding base and Gagas intense delivery really hyped me up.

There’s a good fusion of their styles in the instrumental, but I agree that the way that it’s mixed leads to a lot of finer elements (the synth bells, synth strings etc) getting lost. But you saying the lyrics and melody are very Gaga are what I mean: I think the OP is somewhat implying that PI was given to Gaga more or less as a fully realized song and she only made minor tweaks and I honestly have a hard time believing that.

As far as I'm aware both weren't.
