She (Gaga) came into Zedd's studio, her producer, while he was working on our track", says I-zen. "It was one of its first demos she immediately fell in love with. Zedd called us saying "There's a problem. Lady Gaga wants your song."
We had some serious deliberation, we see ourselves as a band with a high artistic integrity and we avoid commercialization and doing cheap things such as Britney or Gaga. But suddenly there's a concrete offer on the table and saying "No" is a mistake, because it's a guaranteed lifelong pension. Each time the song is being played or sold, we get some pretty nice royalties. So we decided to give her the melody, as long as we are signed under our private names. We felt embarrassment for our fans. But she refused, she wanted "Infected Mushroom" to be credited. So, we decided to go for it thinking it won't make the cut or she'll eventually change her mind.
But she didn't. Do you like the result?
No. I think it's an artistic compromise. The song is too cheesy and commercialized. The way her vocals are over the melody is bad. But, what do I know about pop hits? we are honored that someone off Gaga's league found potential in our track and loved it.
Can y'all not with IM? Y'all are acting like they skull dragged her. They were just iffy about giving Aura's tune to a popstar. They even praised her in that same interview. They'll shut up once the royalties come in.
This song will not be a hit. No shade... but I see it going top ten and falling and maybe Gold. But seeing how it is only a movie song it does not matter.

Or they'll backtrack and say their words were taken out of context and praise her to the heavens
