G.U.Y: (Girl Under You)

Do What U Want: the song is about the obsession with the way people and the media see her.

ARTPOP: it was the first song written for the album, and the one worked on the longest out of the other tracks.

Dope: originally titled "I Wanna Be With You"
The song was not only renamed "Dope", but it was also transformed into a new version as a way of saying "sorry".
while I Wanna Be With You is about feeling hopeful, Dope deals with regret and sadness.

Gypsy: it was meant to be the 3rd single from ARTPOP
The writting sesion for the song started in late 2012 while touring in Europe, and slowly its lyrics changed because it was out of timing.
this version is more personal.
