[Part 2: Chromatica II]

[Instrumental]

[Part 3: 911]

[Verse 1]
Turnin' up emotional faders
Keep repeating self-hating phrases
I have heard enough of these voices
Almost like I have no choice
This is biological stasis
My mood's shifting to manic places
Wish I laughed and kept the good friendships
Watch life, here I go again

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't see me cry
Can't see me cry ever again (Ooh)
I can't see me cry
Can't see me cry, this is the end (Ooh)
[Chorus]
My biggest enemy is me, pop a 911
My biggеst enemy is me, pop a 911
My biggеst enemy is me ever since day one
Pop a 911, then pop another one

[Part 4: Rain On Me]

[Intro: Lady Gaga]
Whats up MTV?
Let me change real quick!

[Verse 1: Lady Gaga]
I didn't ask for a free ride
I only asked you to show me a real good time
I never asked for the rainfall
At least I showed up, you showed me nothing at all

[Pre-Chorus: Lady Gaga]
It's coming down on me
Water like misery
It's coming down on me
I'm ready, rain on me

[Chorus: Lady Gaga]
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on
[Post-Chorus: Ariana Grande & Lady Gaga]
Rain on me, baby
Rain on me

[Verse 2: Ariana Grande & Lady Gaga]
Livin' in a world where no one's innocent
Oh, but at least we try (We try)
Gotta live my truth, not keep it bottled in
So I don't lose my mind, baby

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande & Lady Gaga]
I can feel it on my skin, it's comin' down on me
Teardrops on my face, water like misery
Let it wash away my sins, it's coming down on me
Let it wash away, yeah

[Chorus: Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Both]
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me (rain, rain)
Rain on me (rain, rain)
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
, baby
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain, rain, on, on me

[Post-Chorus: Ariana Grande, Ariana Grande & Lady Gaga]
Rain on me
Rain on me
Oh yeah, yeah
Said rain on me
Oh yeah, yeah
[Bridge: Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Both]
Hands up to the sky
I'll be your galaxy
I'm about to fly
Rain on me, tsunami
Hands up to the sky
MTV, MTV
I'm about to fly
Rain on me (Ooh)

[Outro: Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Both]
(I hear the thunder coming down
Won't you rain on me?)
Me (Eh, eh, yeah)
Rain on
I hear the thunder coming down
Won't you rain on me?, me, yeah
Rain, rain on me

[Part 4: Stupid Love]

[Verse 1]
You're the one that I've been waiting for
Gotta quit this cryin', nobody's gonna
Heal me if I don't open the door
Kinda hard to believe, gotta have faith in me, hee, yee

[Refrain]
I freak out, I freak out, I freak out, look at me
I get down, I get down, I get down, look at me
Freak out, I freak out, look at me now
'Cause all I ever wanted was love, love (Ooh)

[Spoken]
I want your love
I want it all night, every day
But I want you to love yourself
Tonight, and every night
Celebrate yourself
Love who you are
Be kind, mask up
Be brave! And braver all the time
One, two, make it stupid

[Chorus]
I want your stupid love, love
I want your stupid love, love
(Uh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Now, it's time to free me from the shame
I gotta find that peace, is it too late or
Could this love protect me from the pain?
I would battle for you even if we break in two

[Refrain]
I freak out, freak out, freak out, I freak out (Look at me)
I get down, get down, I get down, I get down (Look at me)
(Freak out, freak out, freak out, freak out)
Look at me now

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all I ever wanted was love, love
All I ever wanted was love
Hey yeah, hey yeah

[Chorus]
I want your stupid love
I want your stupid love, love
(Uh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
Hey yeah, hey yeah! Oh, I
I, I want (woo!)
We got a stupid love, love, love, love
Oh, oh, oh, oh

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Keeping in theme with the opener, “Chromatica II” is a string instrumental interlude. The track appears one-third of the way through the album introducing the second part of the journey.

“911” is the eighth track off of Lady Gaga’s sixth album, Chromatica. Lyrically, Gaga explores the role of antipsychotic medication and the effect it has had on her life. The song’s hook was first teased in an interview with Paper Magazine.

“Rain On Me” is about persevering through your troubles and finding solace and comfort in the fact that things will get better. It is the second single off Chromatica, Gaga’s sixth studio album, and marks the first collaboration between Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande. The collaboration was first confirmed through her Twitter account on April 22, along with the other tracks and collaborations from the album. On May 15, she revealed the song’s official cover and release date.

“Stupid Love” is a high-spirited electro-pop track where Lady Gaga can be heard singing about falling for someone and irrefutably wanting their love. This is the lead single from Gaga’s sixth studio album, Chromatica. A mysterious snippet of the song surfaced on August 20, 2019 on Twitter, which was seemingly confirmed when the user who posted the snippet received a copyright claim from Universal Music Group three days later, confirming the song’s title. Further speculation arose when Gaga was seen listening to the track on her iPod in an Instagram post on October 29, 2019. Adding fuel to the fire, The Sun published an article claiming Gaga’s lead single will be released on February 7, which was quickly refuted by her team on January 16, 2020. Two days later, an extended snippet leaked via Snapchat, resulting in “Stupid Love” trending on Twitter, which led to the song’s full leak on January 21, 2020. After much speculation regarding the track’s official release, Gaga finally confirmed it would be released on February 28th, 2020 at 12:00 AM EST. The music video, directed by Daniel Askill was shot in Trona Pinnacles, California using Apple’s iPhone 11 Pro triple camera system.
