-- "I know that I'm not the world's greatest singer, but I do know that I have a unique tone."
-- "The tracks are important but I needed the lyrics to be more important. That was something I told every producer"
-- "We didn't know 'Good For You' was going to do that well. It's been insane how supportive people have been with the new direction."
-- "I can't care anymore that people are going to twist my words. Everybody said every single thing they could say about me."
-- "I’ve never really known him [Max Martin]! The whole record, I’ve became family with all of my producers and Justin and Julia. It had nothing to do with me being like, “Oh my goodness, I’m too good for Max.” It was like, “I don’t know, I don’t want him to change it!” He ended up making it, obviously, a smash. I don’t even think I was questioning his ability, I was more nervous to see what it was going to be like. Once we talked, he sent all these voice memos and now we have a relationship. It’s going to grow from there."
-- "I think “Hands To Myself” is going to be great. I hope that “Kill ‘Em With Kindness” has a great effect because I love the meaning of that song so much. I want them to be surprised about it all. Everyone was surprised about “Good For You,” and now we’re moving forward."
Hands to Myself has influences from Prince & is TIME's favourite song.
MAX MARTIN on Hands to Myself:
“This is the greatest thing I’ve heard all year.”

The struggle to convey some kind of artistry Girl, they sent you a bunch of demos and you picked the ones you liked. Be upfront about it, there's no shame in just being a vocalist.

She wrote 7 songs for revival, with the help of Rock Mafia but still helped

Is Gaga the only main girl that has never worked with Max Martin / Dr. Luke?
