Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We only have the weekend
You can serve it to me, ancient-city style
We can party like it's BC
With a pretty sixteenth-century smile
It's the thing that you bring
Him, you and me
That's gossip
Strut it out, walk a mile
Serve it, ancient-city style
Talk it out, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
That's gossip, what you on?
Money don't talk, rip that song
Gossip, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
Ba-Ba-Babylon
Gossip, gossip
Ba-Ba-Babylon (battle for your life)
Gossip, gossip
Ba-Ba-Babylon
Gossip, gossip
Ba-Ba-Babylon
It's Bree, Bree, Bree, yeah
I'ma strut when they see that walk of mine
Face card on and it never declines
Talk is cheap, but my money long
That's gossip, but that's what they on
Just dance, baby, it'll be okay
Don't act up with your poker face
With your operation, get information
Fuck a conversation, it's a situation
'Cause it's the thing that you bring
That you bring, that you bring
Him, you, and me
That's gossip (that's gossip)
Strut it out, walk a mile
Serve it, ancient-city style
Talk it out, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
That's gossip, what you on?
Money don't talk, rip that song
Gossip, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
Ba-Ba-Babylon
Gossip, gossip
Ba-Ba-Babylon (battle for your life)
Gossip, gossip
Ba-Ba-Babylon
Gossip, gossip
Ba-Ba-Babylon
Battle for your life, Babylon
Strut it out, walk a mile
Serve it, ancient-city style
Talk it out, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
That's gossip, what you on?
Money don't talk, rip that song
Gossip, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
Strut it out, walk a mile
Serve it, ancient-city style
Talk it out, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
That's gossip, what you on?
Money don't talk, rip that song
Gossip, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
The song "Babylon" by Lady Gaga, Bree Runway, and Jimmy Edgar is a celebration of the power and allure of gossip, particularly in a social setting. The song opens with Bree Runway singing about the freedom that comes with living in the moment and embracing the decadence and glamour of the present. The chorus, sung by Lady Gaga, echoes this sentiment, urging listeners to "Strut it out, walk a mile, serve it ancient-city style."
The second verse switches perspectives, with Bree Runway boasting about her own confidence and poise. She talks about how her money and status give her influence and sway in her community, and how she uses this to her advantage. The song then returns to the chorus, repeating the idea that gossip is a way to get ahead and navigate the complex social world of Babylon.
Overall, "Babylon" is a fun, danceable track that celebrates the importance of being confident and savvy in social situations. It's a reminder to let loose and enjoy life, even if it's just for a fleeting moment. The song's use of historical and mythical references adds to its allure, as it suggests that the power of gossip and social capital has been a perennial force throughout human history.

BREE RUNWAY DESERVES SO MUCH SUCCESS!!!! She’s a force of nature like Gaga!!! Honestly I like this remix better than HausLabs on first listen!

Lucas Whetsel Sings
This is criminally underrated. This sounds like a normal song. This should’ve gotten a mil. Bree is always so underrated no matter who she works with it’s insane 🥲
Gosha
Literally
Damian Fatale
The sad thing about music is it can be ready for one crowd, and be recognized, but the world still ignores it. The thing that’s interesting is that you learn that recognition comes in other forms than just sheer numbers.

Bree ate this song, Jimmy's production as always flawless
YOUR GAMER BOYFRIEND
