Madeon led production lol, but also i think the chorus is meant to be pretty flat bc the antipsychotics stabilize you. so the idea is the verses she's getting manic manic manic then pops her 911 and levels out but also is flattened.

Madeon said he didn't want to take too much credit because it was mostly finished by Gaga and Bloodpop and he said he did like 10% of it.

I like 911 but the chorus gets repetitive after a while. ARTPOP is just magical and she was very passionate about this project.

I mean I personally find the song weird and I'm not a huge fan of it tbh. So listening to it with a non-fan is unbearably awkward lol.

911 at TCB, straight banger. 911 on the album…is good, but nothing to write home about.

ARTPOP I think is underrated af. So floaty and trippy.

911 50/50 ARTPOP but I choose ARTPOP

ARTPOP I think I have always found ethereal and enigmatic. Is it hollow and cynical? Or is it actually quite a clever mirror to the listener about subjective interpretation of art and pop? When does one become the other? What is the artistic process? It's frustratingly slippery to get hold of it's true meaning but you can tell there is something there just out of reach of your finger tips.

I always loved the line "my heart can beat with bricks and strings".

Both are good. ARTPOP is better.

Really enjoy this interpretation. My blink reaction was how inherently distinct the identities of the songs are in context of their albums, and more broadly Gaga’s artistic trajectory or narrative identity evolution … “ARTPOP” is the title track of her arguably most ambitious concept album to date — and yet the track itself is the pensive somewhat sirenian eye of its own source reference’s maelstrom tempest … like the Venusian diametric to the Martian dominance (I suppose more sonically speaking, the heavy aggro maximalist ARTPOP in comparative contrast to the more intuitive, contemplative, pneumatic “ARTPOP” sonic aesthetic) … “ARTPOP” just feels like it’s on a different level of significance maybe … also, the lyricism alone, deceptively prescient masterclass in pop socratic, or thesis/antithesis/synthesis, it’s in constant dialogue with itself, the audience, the artist, and their cultural environment … but the universality is delivered in a comparative whisper, and even still, the whisper delivers its own manifesto with the will of pure authority: “my hybrid can withstand,” is not a question or a stutter.

i didn't like either to begin with  i like 911 now though so i choose that

I love both of them a lot, though ARTPOP for me wins. I love the camp and dreamy feel and lyricism. 911 is cool too for its electropop vibe that gives a throwback to Poker Face.

Also, I'm surprised to see so many people say that ARTPOP gives Frozen (Madonna lol) vibes, when for years that almost universal consensus was that the song gave vibes of Love You Like a Love Song by Selena Gomez & The Scene.

Yeah, the song ARTPOP harkens back to 80s synthpop + new wave than it does to Frozen for me

ARTPOP has been my song since the iTunes festival. Its almost like a prayer or mantra. Also very pleasant when high.

Both are the best songs on their respective albums.

I chose 911 because it speaks to a more relatable experience to me, but ARTPOP is such an antithesis to the maximalism of its title record and her work up to the album, so it will always rank high in my heart.

ARTPOP is kinda one of her best songs so

Wait, I may have lied because I forget this exists...
