Doot 2 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 "Bad Romance" is a song by American singer Lady Gaga from her third extended play, The Fame Monster (2009). It was written and produced by Nadir "RedOne" Khayat and Lady Gaga. Lyrically, "Bad Romance" explores Gaga's attraction to individuals with whom romance never works, her preference for lonely relationships and the paranoia she experienced while on tour. Following an illegal demo leak, Gaga showcased the final product at Alexander McQueen's show at the Paris Fashion Week in October 2009, followed by the release of the single's cover art. Musically, "Bad Romance" features a spoken bridge, a full-throated chorus and sung lyrics about being in love with one's best friend. The song, which is imbued with elements of German-esque house and techno, as well as music from the 1980s and 1990s, was touted by Gaga as an experimental pop record. During the bridge Gaga sings a part of the chorus ("I want your love and I want your revenge") in French. Most commentators praised "Bad Romance", calling it one of the highlights of the album. It was included in the 'best-of' lists in several media outlets such as Rolling Stone and Pitchfork Media, and won two Grammy Awards for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Short Form Music Video. In the US, "Bad Romance" peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, and it has been certified 11-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), having sold 5.9 million digital downloads as of February 2019. It topped the charts in more than 20 countries and sold 12 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time.

Born in Chromatica 7 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Bad Romance for me will always be her biggest song of her career. It isn't just a huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge hit, it also was a game changer in music and cultural relevance, making Electro pop the trend in music and created the standard of creativity and eras. This song in my opinion really made her the biggest pop star during her career peak. One of the greatest pop songs to ever be written. FaShIoN iS mY pAsSiOn!

Sister 9,907 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Amazing song, still so fresh sounding and I still get chills every single time it starts. I can't love this song enough or dance to it hard enough. It's a real romance for me. The future's uncertain and the end is always near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
