ApplauseftAdele 4,679 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I sometimes see Alejandro on “Summer pop” playlists on Spotify, also the fact that it was released in april leads me to believe that her team was pushing for it to be a summer hit. not to mention the lyrics “hot like Mexico”... and the overall Spanish vibe which is pretty popular with the Latin trend in our “summer” hits nowadays (this is kinda a reach but still). Do you guys think Alejandro was meant to be a summer song (which is something that Gaga doesn’t really have many of tbh), and do you think it would’ve done better with a more “sunny” music video instead of a wintery cold one like the one we have today?

monketsharona 44,654 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Yes it was a Summer single in 2010 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfFfFfFF 54,014 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 It sounds summer-ish and cold at the same time. The music video has those snowing scenes and they don't look out of place at all but at the same time the beat is warm and almost tropical. I could play it both in summer and winter and it would fit.

This. The song itself is a summer bop but the video makes me associate it with winter. The Alejandro MV is probably my favorite Gaga video but I kinda wish she would have shot a cute summer video.

Thrasher 22,980 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Here in Europe (especially in the Mediterranean area) Alejandro was huge, absolutely bigger than Telephone for example, but it seems that in the anglophone countries it didn’t explode like that, so maybe we have a different perception about the song. A summer 2010 smash for me, such memories “Come over, when you’re sober” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
