Lady Gaga's 'Do What U Want' is now a proper single

  • October 23, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

gaga-do-what-u-wantLady Gaga's duet with 'Number One Hit' hitmaker R Kelly, 'Do What U Want' — which hit Number One in dozens of iTunes stores around the world — will now be a proper single, rather than just a weird album teaser thing.

Chatting away on Twitter about how proposed second single 'Venus' will still be out on Monday, Gaga then went on to add the following:

"However we are over­whelmed by the worldwide response + excite­ment for DO WHAT U WANT feat. R KELLY & are happy to announce it as 2nd Single!".

So that's exciting. Or does it essen­tially just mean the same thing as yesterday when it wasn't a single? And if 'Venus' ends up being more popular than 'Do What U Want' will that end up being the second single as well?

Readers, we don't know.
