Lady Gaga revealed on the podcast Las Culturistas that she initially considered leaving her new album's track "How Bad Do U Want Me" off the record due to its "super pop" sound. However, her fiancé Michael Polansky persuaded her to keep it, sharing a personal experience of their collaboration on the song. Gaga connects deeply with its themes of perceptions of femininity and feels the pressure of being seen as a "bad girl," which has impacted her views on relationships.
"Oh my God, I almost didn't put that on the album." - Lady Gaga reflecting on her decision-making process regarding the track 'How Bad Do U Want Me'.
"Michael and I started that song at home... I was like, 'No?'... that song embodies a feeling that I've probably had my whole life." - Gaga discussing the collaborative nature of the song's development.
"I've always felt archetyped as the 'bad girl.' It's why the lyric is kind of funny... You like the bad girl I got in me, she's on your mind, like, all the time." - Gaga sharing her personal connection to the song.
"I've always been at war with this feeling that, if I am interested in someone, that they're actually longing for a 'good girl,' but they're stuck with me." - Gaga expressing her internal conflict regarding perceptions of femininity.
