Lady Gaga, a great marketer and business woman, seized the opportunity to release her new single "A-Yo" in the wake of a public diss by The Chainsmokers.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, The Chainsmokers' Alex Pall said of Gaga's song "Perfect Illusion": "It sucked."
To each their own, but fans went ballistic.
Gaga didn't respond until Tuesday, when she tweeted a clever comeback and introduced the single.

The Chainsmokers responded on Twitter with "Haha @ladygaga RESPECT."
Here are three reasons why you should listen to this song over and over:
1. It'll make you happy
You can't help but bob your head, jump up and down, stomp, and clap. It's one of those songs that give you energy, pumps you up, wakes you up right there and then.
2. It was first performed in a dive bar
Indeed, the pop star played the song in a bar in Nashville, as part of her promotional Dive Bar tour. And when you hear the song, you'll hear it fit that expectation.
3. Mark Ronson produced it
Therefore, you can be sure it's a great and banging pop track (remember, he's responsible for "Uptown Funk"). Having said that, Gaga has also said that her new album Joanne, and the format in which it is being presented live, is the most authentic she has felt in her work.
Joanne comes out Oct. 21. In the meantime, check out the new track, "A-YO":
