Getting into Lady Gaga's album titled Mayhem, but also track number 10 off of it titled, How Bad Do You Want Me? Now, this is one of the more standouts that kind of let me know that Lady Gaga was intentionally going for certain pop sounds because I couldn't help but recall a certain popular track when I was listening to Zombie Boy off of this album. But of course, I don't want to get killed by the iconic fan base, right? So I'm just going to let you know that the first seven seconds. of zombie boy by Lady Gaga. It's very interesting. And that's what I'm going to leave it. So as far as what I think is now the actual attempt to replicate some of these sounds on her album,

I would say in the lane of Big T. Because y'all know that I've listened to the Torture Poets Department and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Like, I'm going to get you back is a very pivotal track on how. you know, somebody could feel if they are slighted, right? And they may want to be petty. And as far as my favorite rapper being Dray, best believe me, I've seen all the petty tactics work out and not work out. And for her to have that track,

I'm going to get you back off of the Torture Poets Department. I thought it was phenomenal. The reason why I'm bringing up Taylor Swift in this discussion is because I believe that this track is more of a Taylor Swift homage. Now, I know Lady Gaga has been around longer than Taylor Swift. right but when it comes to popular music taylor swift is by far in the way the most popular artists in the world right as far as the past two years she's put up numbers as having even like nobody's came close i mean some of taylor swift first week sales are in the millions right meanwhile

drake and kendrick is in the two 300 000 so and basically they're like the top artists in the game so So to compare it to Taylor Swift sonically, I think is a huge compliment because I feel like how bad do you want me? It's more of a playoff of what Taylor Swift was doing on the torture post department. I'm not saying she's ripping her off. I'm just saying that's very interesting on how those two correlate, those two sounds correlate. And the reason why I came to that sentiment is because of my previous thoughts of the zombie boy and how that resembled a very popular track in the past.

but you know of course you know we're going we're going to leave it at that because i want to just accuse her of just like ripping off these artists but i do think she's intentionally showcasing off different errors right and there's certain sounds that she's going for on these different tracks i would say zombie boy and how bad do you want me is one of the more blatant showcases on how she's trying to replicate certain sounds right so anyways with that being said Lady Gaga still is doing phenomenal on the charts. As I said, you know, she arguably has the most popular track in the world as Die with a Smile is the second most played track in the world, but it fluctuates between one and two, right?

The lowest has ever went was three and it's been on the charts about 28 weeks. So someone could say, well, some could say that's a bona fide hit, right? So objectively speaking, abracadabra is also the 31st most played track in the world, and that's been on the charts about four weeks. she had a track out titled disease but that track didn't do as well on the charts as far as the billboard hot 100 is nowhere to be found but of course with this album out now on all dsps i think

that it may gain some more steam so as far as how bad do you want me and zombie boy i think that's probably going to be one of the more standouts on this album and if i ever go back to my drake party next door some sexy songs for you first impressions at first glance i knew i know kia in give me a hug was a hit because I cover the album and it's entirely literally track by track I ain't gonna lie to you as far as covering the music industry I don't know who like maybe the needle the needle drop like am I the black needle drop down so as far as um getting into like music

I feel like I dive deep into it and for the most part I was pretty on the nose about give me a hug and no key of being a hit because it just came out and I'm listening to it I'm like oh this is a hit ended up being a hit on the charts not saying I predicted I'm not saying I'm not saying I like influence that. I'm saying I predicted that. Right. So anyways, I think that how bad do you want me in Zombie Boy is probably going to be one of the more standouts on the charts when it comes to this album, Mayhem. And so with that being considered, click my link to my bio. Let me know one of my social media is. What do you think about Lady Gaga's album out now on all DSPs titled Mayhem? And if you wanted to know the runtime, this album is about 14 songs and 53 minutes long.
