Lady Gaga Keeps Hit Song 'How Bad Do U Want Me' on Album 'Mayhem' After Fiancé's Support

Lady Gaga revealed that she nearly cut the fan-favorite track 'How Bad Do U Want Me' from her new album 'Mayhem' before her fiancé Michael Polansky encouraged her to keep it. During an appearance on the podcast 'Las Culturistas,' Gaga explained that the song, which embodies her experiences with being perceived as the 'bad girl,' holds significant personal meaning for her. She shared that she often struggles with feelings of shame about her image and the assumption that potential partners prefer a 'good girl.' Despite her initial hesitations about the song's pop sound, she ultimately decided to include it, recalling that similar doubts had almost led her to cut past hits like 'Just Dance.' 'Mayhem' has been well-received since its release on March 7, with fans appreciating its return to Gaga's pop roots. The album features a blend of synth-pop and personal storytelling, resonating strongly with her audience.
