Lady — Gaga Artpop Album Songs [work]

One of the sleaziest, most fun tracks in Gaga’s catalog. “Sexxx Dreams” is a thumping electro-funk confession about fantasizing over a past lover while with a current one. The chorus is an explosive release of tension, with Gaga wailing over distorted synths.

| # | Song Title | Key Notes & Analysis | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Aura | The album kicks off with a chaotic, Western-tinged electronic sound that morphs into a thumping dance track. | | 2 | Venus | An 80s-inspired, synth-pop anthem that was also the album's first promotional single. | | 3 | G.U.Y. (Girl Under You) | A dark, industrial EDM track that explores themes of sexual submission and gender roles. | | 4 | Sexxx Dreams | An electro-pop track with a pulsating 80s beat, Gaga speaks candidly about her sexual fantasies and desires. | | 5 | Jewels N' Drugs | A surprising trap and hip-hop departure featuring rappers T.I., Too $hort, and Twista, often cited as the album's most divisive track. | | 6 | MANiCURE | A high-energy, guitar-driven track that feels like a triumphant, hand-clapping rock anthem about love and obsession. | | 7 | Do What U Want | A seductive R&B and synth-pop duet.
