Wowzers! I'll go with LoveDrug, though I love both.

Used to be SHICD but definitely have come round to LoveDrug with time. Very disco rock energy and great lyrics. But both are fantastic!

Never understood the LoveDrug craze honestly. It's a lovely little song but pretty one dimensional and filler-esque despite the poetic lyrics, and could easily have been taken to far greater heights. I'd rather listen to an actual Stevie Nicks song rather than this if I was feeling that particular vibe.

SHICD sounds so much more like a drug than LoveDrug. It's hypnotic, hazy, euphoric, luxurious and synthetic; with a deep heartbeat groove, stunning synth work and gorgeous soft, breathy vocals from Gaga. I also find its theme far more interesting than the basic "your love is my drug" cliche, exploring the way people escape into substance abuse for a moment of peace or freedom, and the artificial happiness, eroticism and empathy felt. But laced with the dark undertones of addiction, health risks and the self-destructive nature of drug users. If you've ever actually experienced this then this song definitely takes you straight to that moment. (Even its title is clever tongue and cheek double meaning "so happy I could die / so high I could OD" etc.)

Not at all. Love TFM (top 3 Gaga), but I’d say SHICD is the closest thing to a skip on the album

Honestly who hurt you?

I’m referring to the main hook (“I’ve got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine”), which I think sounds nearly identical to “Happy in the club with a bottle of red wine…” etc.

Not like this is the only time Gaga has ripped off other artists :triggered:

So Happy I Could Die is, in my humble opinion, one of her weakest songs. I never really liked it. Love Drug, on the other hand, just keeps getting better over time.

It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead.
