Doot 2 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020  "Born This Way" is a song by American singer Lady Gaga, and the lead single from her second studio album of the same name. Written by Gaga and Jeppe Laursen, who produced it along with Fernando Garibay and DJ White Shadow, the track was developed while Gaga was on the road with The Monster Ball Tour. Inspired by 1990s music which empowered women and the gay community, Gaga explained that "Born This Way" was her freedom song. She sang part of the chorus at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards in 2010 and announced the song as the lead single from the album, released on February 11, 2011. "Born This Way" is backed by rumbling synth sounds, a humming bass and additional chorus percussion, with sole organ toward the end. The lyrics discuss the self-empowerment of minorities including the LGBT community as well as racial minorities, referring to "cholas" and "orients". Critics positively reviewed the song, calling it a "club-ready anthem", though it faced criticism for having similarities with Madonna's 1989 single "Express Yourself". The song reached number one in over 25 countries and was her third single to top the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and the 1,000th song in that chart's history (since 1958) to reach number one. "Born This Way" has sold 8.2 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time.  Single Cover:   Music Video:    Lyrics: Spoiler It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M Just put your paws up 'Cause you were born this way, baby My mama told me when I was young We are all born superstars She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on In the glass of her boudoir "There's nothing wrong with loving who you are" She said, "'Cause he made you perfect, babe" "So hold your head up girl and you'll go far, Listen to me when I say" I'm beautiful in my way 'Cause God makes no mistakes I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way Don't hide yourself in regret Just love yourself and you're set I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way Oh there ain't no other way Baby I was born this way Baby I was born this way Oh there ain't no other way Baby I was born this way I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way Don't be a drag â just be a queen [x3] Don't be!

The Clown 539 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 What a timeless masterpiece! Truly, a boss bitch move to release this song at the peak of your career. It was exactly the moment when the world would listen to her words and, oh boy, she did not waste the opportunity to make a powerful statement. I mean, I can try to, but truthfully, I don't have the words to describe just how iconic Born This Way is. Truly her Imperial era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
