Coke Barbie (Love Charli) and her alter ego Lorde better watch out.

Putting it on the album to net the streams for Mayhem was shallow and disappointing.

Before that it was just a song I didn't care for.

Had it stayed a standalone single I wouldn't be so salty  

And now it's confirmed to be something Bruno pulled out of his trash bin so I'm feeling a bit vindicated

I understand this. It doesn't bother at all that she did this but I do think she does get a pass for this after enduring the pain that was the ARTPOP and Joanne era. I am just happy she gets another "one of the biggest modern songs" moment.

Oh I've long accepted that it's something only I'm bothered by, I just enjoy bitching into the aether  

We can complain about so little with her, it's nice to have some negativity! Like, finally there's a lion in the bush, ya know

It was me who actually wrote it and sent the demo to Bruno four years ago... So there's that

It’s true, I was the microphone used in the recording

This makes sense. So the rough timeline is:

- Bruno wrote a demo of DWAS and shelved it - at one point, one of the original writers considered pitching it for the Joker 2 soundtrack 

- Gaga began recording Joker 2 soundtrack and Harlequin in the studio

- Bruno catches wind of Gaga being in the studio with Andrew Watt (who he has also been working with)

- Watt / Bruno invites Gaga over to their studio and they finish recording DWAS with her vocals on it

- It gets released as a standalone single as it didn't quite fit Joker 2/Harlequin (for whatever reason), but later added to Mayhem's official track list (likely due to its streaming numbers)

I think it was meant for Harlequin but she wasn't gonna say that it was part of her surprise companion album that was going to be released almost by surprise more than a month later so she just said that it was a gift while we waited for LG7, a description that also fits Harlequin. But then they must have known about the bad reception of Joker 2 or something going on with the movie before it premiered on festivals so they decided to add it to MAYHEM instead 

Tbh, I wish it was part of Harlequin... Maybe that album would've got more attention and love thanks to DWAS but it fits pretty well on both albums
