I think all of the lyrics on the album are written to include multiple interpretations that are personal to her. This song in particular could be referencing her and a lover, her and her fans, or her arguing with herself. 

This album deals a lot with trauma and her mental health. There are a few times I really feel like she is talking as Stefani to Lady Gaga and vice versa. 

Replay:
Am I still alive? Where am I? I cry
Who was it that pulled the trigger, was it you or I?
I'm completely numb, why you acting dumb?
I won't blame myself 'cause we both know you were the one

I don't know what to do, you don't know what to say
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay
The monster inside you is torturing me
The scars on my mind are on replay, r-replay, eh-eh

Psychologically, it's something that I can't explain
Scratch my nails into the dirt to pull me out okay
Does it matter, does it matter? Damage is done
Does it matter, does it matter? You had the gun



Fun Tonight:

Feelin' something that I can't explain (Oh)
Think it's a wound I still entertain (Oh)
I'd do anything to numb the flame (Oh)
I guess I'm just on fire these days (Oh)
I can't see straight, I can't see me
There's too much hurt caught in between
Wish I could be what I know I am
This moment's hijacked my plans

I'm feelin' the way that I'm feelin', I'm feelin' with you (Ooh, ooh)
I stare at the girl in the mirror, she talks to me too

Yeah, I can see it in your face
You don't think I've pulled my weight
Maybe it's time for us to say goodbye 'cause
I'm feelin' the way that I'm feelin', I'm feelin' with you
I'm not havin' fun tonight

Now i get it. FT is not about Carino at all, it is about us indeed.

Yes and no. I think she has a very skillful way of disguising specific traumatic feelings and episodes in her life into lyrics that are strong enough to be potent but also vague enough to be interpreted differently by different people. Whose to say it’s not about them? Now everyone gets to feel ha betrayal! :messga:

I think there’s multiple references to struggling with fame throughout the album. And I don’t care what anyone says, Fun Tonight is absolutely about fame haha. “I feel like I’m in a prison hell/stick my hands through the steel bars and yell” remember last year when she tweeted “fame is prison”

I feel like that song is about a lot of things compiled into one if that makes sense, but I could see fame being a piece of it.

See The Best In Everyone

I think Fun Tonight is mostly her talking to herself and struggling with Stefani and Lady Gaga continuing to coexist. Since 2015 she has really changed a lot. She has always been an old soul but she really grew up and transitioning into a more mature singer, actress, icon and not this shock and awe performance artist that she originally was. It seems like that inner struggle coupled with all the trauma and pain in her personal life feels like it eats her alive at times. That's what I feel and hear when I listen to that song. I think it would knock me out emotionally if she sang in just on the piano :messga:

There's literally no way to know what she was getting at unless she explains

Well ya on surface replay is about her PTSD and reliving a bad moment and how someone’s monsters have her relive something. But Rain on Me is about accepting sadness and getting through it when you listen to lyrics but if you listen to her explain that song she mentions drinking and trying to stay dry and wanting to drink anyways. So I think her songs have different meanings to her. I don’t like when people argue about her lyrics saying that no these are the lyrics because Gaga has always been a deep thinker and knows that each song has different interpretations and meanings. 
 

I mean fans have to be a torturing part of her job. She must love supporters and helping people but at the same time it has to be torturing constantly being yelled at and not treated as a human.  So it makes sense.

I think it's both.

When she says "your monsters torture me" she's talking about the rapist and the heartbreaking thing is she has a career right now and was noticed in part because of him. He gave her not only his monsters but also... monsters, the fans.

I still wonder if she still thinks about him when she performs some of the songs she wrote with him.

Edit: honestly when I first heard the ending I thought it said, "you monsters torture me"

On spotify , in the storyline she says “It’s a replay of all my monsters, not the little ones.”
