TEA (Intro) (Live in Boston)

"Tea" (stylized as "TEA") is a song written by Lady Gaga in 2011 for ARTPOP. Despite the song being confirmed to be on the album, it did not make it to the final cut.

Gaga revealed the song title and some of the lyrics via Twitter on October 11, 2012.

This song was supposed to be released through the ARTPOP app, but unfortunately, it was never released in it. However, a background with this song was available in ArtHaus.

In February of 2017, during a Q&A, DJWS confirmed that the song is still in his possession and compared it to "Toxic" by Britney Spears. He then said he would probably release it someday.

DJWS performed the intro to the song at the Joanne World Tour at Fenway Park in Boston on September 1, 2017.

An interesting fact is that the Britney Spears song "Hold It Against Me" has a very similar chord progressions, in fact almost the same. Also, both of these songs have the same pitch, but Spears's song is written in minor key, and "TEA" is in major key.

Its been oolong since i've had a sip and I get this feeling,
I need a green detox the truth will be the winner tonight[1]

Without the milk or sweet honey, thats the truth tea[2]
