<p id=”par-5_85″>“Dope” is another song from <em>Artpop,</em> but it sounds nothing like “Venus.” It’s slow, sad, and full of feeling. Gaga sings about addiction, regret, and needing someone more than anything else. The music is simple, with just piano and soft sounds. Her voice sounds broken but honest. She sings from a deep, personal place. This song shows her strength in being vulnerable. “Dope” hit No. 8 on the <a href=”https://www.billboard.com/artist/lady-gaga/chart-history/hsi/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Billboard Hot 100</a> before rapidly falling off the chart. It’s one of Gaga’s most emotional songs ever.</p>
