About this song
The song is one of eight new tracks on Lady Gaga's re-release of The Fame. Gaga has said she wrote it after spending time in Russia, Germany and Eastern Europe, drawing on German house-techno music and aiming for a pop experimental sound. She has also said the chorus uses a '90s melody, a deliberate move away from the '80s.
