4th Time Around 4,640 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 (edited) I don't know about a mistake but I don't think I've returned to it one time since the first listen.

RochestrMonstr 3,447 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Anyone who thinks it was a mistake commercially had unrealistic expectations to begin with. Anyone who thinks it was a mistake musically, well I kinda get it. I do think it’s the weakest song on Mayhem, though it did grow on me. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladle Ghoulash 29,245 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 The fact that some of y’all don’t see the vision for the genre switch between the verses and the chorus… We have forgotten our public MANNERS Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr S 8,758 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 It's fine as a cute song for Wednesday. But to pause the Mayhem era singles and putting all eggs into this basket was a huge misstep. GoE, HBDYWM or VIY should have been summer singles while Dead dance could have been its own little droplet for Wednesday. Or better yet, just attach Zombieboy to Wednesday. Gaga also put all her eggs into the jfad basket with Disease so it looks like she didn't learn her lesson. And with rumors of a new song for DWP2 next year.... Oh boy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think promoting "Abracadabra" for the longrun was the right idea. Had they moved onto quickly to a different single then I don't think Abra would be where it is now, stats wise. Some countries still have HBDUWM as a radio single actually, including my country. Its been quite non-stop with Coachella, Copacabana, Singapore, TUDUM show, vmas interviews, podcasts, the actual tour? TOTAL MAYHEM etc Edited November 10 by Starmie25 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicixs 3,483 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 I just hate that THIS was the song she thought should be her Halloween song. She has a history of making spookier sounding songs that weren’t for Halloween. She could’ve locked in and made something more original and insane. Instead we got a Thriller rehash. Religion is a product to sell. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the similarity with Thriller, other than they both have E in the title Like a poem said by a neydy in red Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven 6,169 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 It wasn’t a mistake since the song slaps, but I think it was marketed a bit too obviously for TikTok, which didn’t really work. If you want a hit on that platform, it has to happen organically, not feel forced. And Gaga isn’t 20 anymore, so the new gen probably found it a bit cringe sadly. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starmie25 19,944 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 I think Gaga fans are the only ones who heavily dislike this song tbh. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
