In 2008, Gaga wrote "Just Dance," a shimmering synth-pop track about a woozy night in the club, with chart-topping singer Akon and the song's producer RedOne.

RedOne told Entertainment Weekly in 2018 that when he played "Just Dance" for Interscope's Jimmy Iovine, the label boss asked if he could give the song to another act on his imprint, The Pussycat Dolls. "And Akon was like, 'No! It's Gaga! She can be the next big thing!'"

Gaga was 22 when "Just Dance" debuted on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart in May 2008 and crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100 that August. Five months later, it began a three-week stay at No. 1 on the Hot 100 dated Jan. 17, 2009.
