I see many of you are surprised by the creative decisions Gaga made with Babylon, and questioning why does it sound exactly like a Rupaul song. But it makes sense if you think back to this part of the paper magazine interview:

the latter of which acknowledges both her own strength as well as that of the community who has "cheer[ed] her on" and helped her "become a woman." Specifically, she calls out trans women and gay men for helping her cope with PTSD and move past any spirals associated with reliving her pain. "In 2020, what does it mean to be a free woman?" Gaga questions, prompting a song that answers this question and sees her challenging the need to be with a man — or anyone at all — in order to survive. "Can I feel free on my own? Do I need to be loved in order to feel like I've conquered it all?" Speaking to the track's origin, Gaga says, "It came from thinking on some days I was going to die. I was like, 'I'm going to die soon, so I better say something important.' Now I listen to it and know that I'm going to live."

The truth is, the LGBT community has helped Gaga a lot in her life and she probably wanted to do a song like this to please us. Moreover Drag Queens all over the world will be able to use Babylon in their shows, it is a nice personal touch for her fanbase.
