Gaga's five succeeding studio albums all debuted atop the US Billboard 200. Her second full-length album, Born This Way (2011), explored electronic rock and techno-pop and sold more than one million copies in its first week. The title track became the fastest-selling song on the iTunes Store, with over one million downloads in less than a week. Following her EDM-influenced third album, Artpop (2013), and its lead single "Applause", Gaga released the jazz album Cheek to Cheek (2014) with Tony Bennett, and the soft rock album Joanne (2016). She ventured into acting, winning awards for her leading roles in the miniseries American Horror Story: Hotel (2015–2016) and the musical film A Star Is Born (2018). Her contributions to the latter's soundtrack, which spawned the chart-topping single "Shallow", made her the first woman to win an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Golden Globe Award and Grammy Award in one year. Gaga returned to dance-pop with her sixth studio album, Chromatica (2020), which yielded the number-one single "Rain on Me". She followed this with her second collaborative album with Bennett, Love for Sale, and a starring role in the biopic House of Gucci, both in 2021.
Having sold an estimated 170 million records, Gaga is one of the world's best-selling music artists and the only female artist to achieve four singles that each sold at least 10 million copies globally. Her accolades include 13 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, 18 MTV Video Music Awards, awards from the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and recognition as Billboard's Artist of the Year (2010) and Woman of the Year (2015). She has also been included in several Forbes' power rankings and ranked fourth on VH1's Greatest Women in Music (2012). Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2010 and 2019 and placed her on their All-Time 100 Fashion Icons list. Her philanthropy and activism focus on mental health awareness and LGBTQ+ rights; she has her own non-profit organization, the Born This Way Foundation, which supports the wellness of young people. Gaga's business ventures include Haus Labs, a vegan cosmetics brand launched in 2019.
Sometimes
Lady GaGa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make me feel so pretty
When I'm not feeling so cool today
Yeah you pull me out
When you know that I'm afraid
Something about you
It drys up every tear in my way
And when I trip myself on the sidewalk
Cause your my cowboy your my everything
And you know how to get me
Sometimes I'm feeling up sometimes I'm down
You lift my feet up off the ground
Sometimes I'm moving fast sometimes I'm slow
You know where to make me go
Sometimes I am the happy girl you love
Sometimes I don't feel good enough
Sometimes sometimes oh
Your there when I need you
Sometimes uh oh uh oh
When I need you
Sometimes uh oh uh oh
I ask myself this question
About you that I can not explain
How you ride with me
When you know that I'm to blame
You've proved your love I
Don't need to hear the words that you say
But I know you say them anyway
Just to keep me feeling safe
As my worries become a yesterday
Baby you get me
Sometimes I'm feeling up sometimes I'm down
You lift my feet up off the ground
Sometimes I'm moving fast sometimes I'm slow
You know where to make me go
Sometimes I am the happy girl you love
Sometimes I don't feel good enough
Sometimes sometimes oh
Your there when I need you
Sometimes uh oh uh oh
When I need you
Sometimes uh oh uh oh
And my worries become a yesterday
Cause baby you know I'm...
The lyrics to Lady Gaga's song "Sometimes" speak to the theme of love and support in a relationship, and the way that a partner can lift one up when feeling down. Gaga opens the song on a high note, exclaiming "Oh Yeah! You make me feel so pretty." It's clear from the outset that she's addressing someone special who has a profound impact on her mood and self-esteem. This mystery person seems to be able to read Gaga's emotions, and is always there to support her when she needs it most: "Yeah you pull me out when you know that I'm afraid/ Something about you/ It drys up every tear in my way."
The chorus of "Sometimes" reinforces the idea that this partner is an integral part of Gaga's life, and able to make her feel happy and secure no matter her state of mind. She sings, "Sometimes I'm feeling up sometimes I'm down/ You lift my feet up off the ground/ Sometimes I'm moving fast sometimes I'm slow/ You know where to make me go/ Sometimes I am the happy girl you love/ Sometimes I don't feel good enough/ Sometimes sometimes oh/ Your there when I need you/ Sometimes uh oh uh oh/ When I need you/ Sometimes uh oh uh oh." It's clear that this person is a constant rock for Gaga, and that the power of their love is able to transcend any bumps in the road.
The second half of the song features a more reflective Gaga, who comments on how much her partner means to her even in difficult times. She wonders, "I ask myself this question/ About you that I can not explain," before acknowledging that they stick with her even when she's in the wrong: "How you ride with me/ When you know that I'm to blame/ You've proved your love I/ Don't need to hear the words that you say/ But I know you say them anyway/ Just to keep me feeling safe." Ultimately, "Sometimes" is a powerful meditation on the way that love can lift us up and keep us going, even when we're at our lowest points.

@ImSoLament i found it
"I left my whole family, got the cheapest apartment I could find, and ate shit until someone heard," she recalls. Settling into a small apartment on Rivington Street around the summer of 2005, Gaga recorded a couple of songs with hip-hop singer Grandmaster Melle Mel, for an audiobook accompanying the children's book The Portal in the Park, by Cricket Casey.
