For me, this song is a breath of FRESH AIR.
Usually I dread Gaga's next release but this one I liked. I find people's reaction are very strange to this song. This song is more Gaga than anything on Artpop.
Perhaps some people have forgotten who her influences are. "Gaga grew up listening to artists such as: The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Queen, Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, Mariah Carey, The Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Whitney Houston, Elton John, Blondie, and Garbage, who all influenced her. She has cited heavy metal bands as an influence, stating that Iron Maiden "changed my life" and describing herself as "the biggest Black Sabbath fan on Earth". Gaga's musical inspiration varies from dance-pop singers like Madonna and Michael Jackson to glam rock artists like David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, as well as the theatrics of the pop artist Andy Warhol and her own performance roots in musical theater." - Wikipedia
This song is just more like her rock influences, that's all. Everyone will get their dance pop queen music within the new album sure enough.
I keep hoping that Lady Gaga will come back down to Earth and stop with the pretension and theatrics and maybe this song signals that.
