'Do What U Want' is a slower song, that we haven't heard anything like this before from Gaga! The R&B elements, the catchy dance beats, the soul in Gaga's voice and the always-fun-to-listen-to voice of R. Kelly makes this song flawless. It came out as a promotional single until it became the fastest selling song of 2013, going #1 in 72 countries on iTunes, including the US and UK) and Gaga (Interscope, actually) chose to make it the second single. The song debuted at #13 on Billboard's Hot 100 with 156,000 copies sold (in the US). Even it fell on the Hot 100, the song has been climbing the Pop Songs chart on Billboard and has finally debuted at #9 in the UK (since it wasn't allowed before the album's release date) with so far confirmed 23,000 copies sold in its debut week (when it wasn't still charted). The video is about to be release and with it the song with chart even better!
