CoolNebraskaGuy Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) Gaga and her team are famously allergic to capitalizing on any momentum in her musical career. Gorgeous song tho Edited October 1, 2023 by CoolNebraskaGuy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightingale Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Doesn’t it have like a billion streams on Spotify and YouTube? ARUTW is an anomaly but even then INLA did so objectively well as a non single 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mons†er Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 when I read the title, I thought this was about 'Speechless' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIVERT Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 It should have. It’s objectively better than Shallow and ARUTW. This song and Is That Alright? are modern classics ala Whitney songs in another universe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
State of Grace. Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Mariah? I'd say it's more Whitney Houston inspired if anything. I Will Always Love You was definitely a reference because Gags does similar runs too. Anyways, while I love all 3, ARUTW and Shallow are better songs by far and actually feel/sound more like Gaga. The folk/country/rock ish vibe of those songs is timeless. INLA is way too 90s power ballad pastiche imo, and that's not going to smash nowadays. It's kinda funny how they were initially going to push that song instead though. That being said, I would say the song was still a success though? It has +1B streams from Spotify/Youtube, has nice certs globally, and won a Grammy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaDive Posted October 1, 2023 Author Share Posted October 1, 2023 I guess the song itself is ginormous but it's helped by the other two. I didn't know they were gonna push it, that's crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraceRandolph Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 It’s more somber than Shallow and ARUTW. I think it’s also just a more generic ballad than those two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyboy1 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Pundits were saying that Shallow stole all the limelight leading up to the 2018 Oscars and after that there was no point in promoting singles from a soundtrack so they let INLA rot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a soundtrack to a backstage musical film. They were never going to promote it to the extent that they would a stand-alone pop album. Regardless the album became a hit as did ARUTW.

OreGuy Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) They can't push three singles at the same time. Shallow was the single from Oct to March that time 5 months bc of the Oscars campaign. Releasing singles after that would be useless since Oscars are done and the movie isn't on theaters anymore.

collin Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Is That Alright? is the one that should have been a hit, not this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alejandreaux Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) if they really wanted to push ASIB as an actual music era for Gaga… Shallow, ARUTW, and ITA would’ve all went top 10 and INLA would be top 20 source: i just know it!

EnigmaticAndroid Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Beautiful song but too 90s AC'd. Shallow and ARUTW were mega-embraced by the country sector of the GP and that's partially why they've been so successful stateside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robattack332 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Vocal delivery. It's a beautiful song that demonstrates amazing technique, but that's what you focus on (how good she is). Where as the others punch you in the gut more. Her voice is more emotive and connect better in this soft rock style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
