Ariana absolutely showing her versatility with this song โค๏ธ Be Alright was in this vein but I've always wanted her to fully go there. And oh my, she really went there!

Just saw the video, Ariana has got to be the most gorgeous girl in the world right now.

So I like the song...less after watching the video? Idk, I'm going to attribute some of this to the realities of quarantine and not being able to execute to the fullest, but the video falls very flat for me. The choreography is meh, and the cool concept of them "becoming each other" is ultimately without impact as they are made to look too similar to matter if they added or subtracted a hair tie. As for the song, it's fine. There are parts that I like (the way the production stops and swells around Gaga chanting "RAIN. ON. ME." is my favorite part). It doesn't feel like it needs to be a duet, which is where I think a lot of these pop diva duets fall short. "Stupid Love" was no less dated, but it was more fun and catchy to me. As usual common sense prevails! I so agree on the pop diva duets that feel more strategic than organically fitting the construction of the song.

I feel like the only queer person on earth who is distinctly underwhelmed by this. It just feels like an extra track that gets tacked onto the deluxe version of an album rather than a major collaboration.

I was just watching it again and Iโm truly in love with the video and song. Also, I kinda lols when they showed Pete Davidsonโs movie trailer right after.
Edit: I was getting worried when the video wasnโt increasing in numbers fast. Now itโs 2.1.

It makes me laugh that she finally is giving her fans everything theyโve asked for since 2010 and people are acting like itโs still not enough. I am convinced that there is nothing she could do to appease some of yโall. This is her best song/video package in YEARS.

I really like the music video. It's fun and doesn't take itself too seriously. I love the anime cosplay circuit party in a post-apocalyptic wasteland wet sari song aesthetic.
I love the scene at the end where they hug.

why does ariana have such an issue with lip-synching words in music videos?

Grew on me. Now, it's a song that I would not skip on the album. I can pump my fist to it.

It just feels like an extra track that gets tacked onto the deluxe version of an album rather than a major collaboration. Cliff Notes of the past few pages in this thread: you're not alone. My friend group is very divided on this. But I have a feeling they'll succumb sooner than later like Active Aggressive did.

I like this but...
1) I wish it was a longer song. 2) I wish Gaga had one more solo verse.
Itโs A LOT packed into 3 minutes. If Gaga had one more verse I think it could have given more depth to this for me.

I really like the breakdown where Gaga does a spoken word and Ariana sings in the background. Love it!!!

I am liking it better after 2 more listens of the song with the video. :) It's a fun video. Gaga always cracks me up with her dancing and awkward dance moves. Gaga had said that Ariana sounds here like she's never sounded before. Could somebody tell me to which part of the song she must have referred? This yes would've been a dance club hit, but now with dance clubs closed... :( First week sales and streaming with the fans of both Gaga and Ariana together I guess it could take the song to Hot 100 Top Ten (a #1 would be great!), but not sure I see this song as one that will be played on the radio to give it some longevity. Isn't it too dance music for that? I hope they do of course.
I still feel like watching the video for a third time. It's fun with so many things to watch!

I don't know if anyones already said this but at about 1:57 (on the audio version) Ariana says Rain On Me and it sounds just similar to the iconic 'Finally' by Cece Peniston, I wonder if it is some kind of nod. Because I know that Finally by Cece Peniston is one of the most famous house songs.

A top 5 debut (at least) is on lock since their fanbases won't let them down. After that, it'll be down to radios and GP.

The video is at 6 million views after 6 hours. Pretty clear this is going to be much bigger than Stupid Love.

It's fine I guess? I came in woth no expectations and it will probably grow on me but right now I'm kinda meh on it.
It's easily the best thing Ariana has done since the tun album tho.
