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.

Lady Gaga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I know that you may love me
But I just can't be with you like this anymore
Alejandro
She's got both hands
In her pocket
And she won't look at you
She hides true love
En su bolsillo
She got a halo around her finger
Around you
You know that I love you boy
Hot like Mexico, rejoice
At this point I gotta choose
Nothing to lose
Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Alejandro
I'm not your babe
I'm not your babe, Fernando
Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch
Just smoke my cigarette and hush
Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Roberto

Alejandro
The lyrics of Lady Gaga's "Alejandro" portray the story of a woman who is trying to break away from a past relationship, but is struggling to do so. The main character, referred to as "Alejandro," is representative of all the men in her life who have hurt her in some way. She sings about her youthful age and her realization that she cannot stay with him any longer. The lines "I know that we are young / And I know that you may love me / But I just can't be with you like this anymore" express her reluctance to remain in an unhealthy relationship simply due to her age, and her call for independence and self-respect.
As the song continues, the singer describes a woman who is hiding her true feelings in her pocket, not willing to express them to others, including her current partner. Despite this, she finds herself in a situation where she is being controlled by him, as if he were a provider and a paternal figure. She once again asserts her independence and self-worth, stating that she loves the man but has to choose to break away.
The chorus is repetitive, emphasizing the importance of severing ties with negative people in life. Yet, she cannot help but feel a sense of guilt, as it’s hard for her to completely sever the relationship. This song encourages the listener to leave relationships behind for personal growth and happiness.
Line by Line Meaning
I know that we are young
I'm aware that we're inexperienced in love
And I know that you may love me
I understand that you might have feelings for me
But I just can't be with you like this anymore
I can't continue being in a relationship with you in this way
Alejandro
Referring to the man she's addressing
She's got both hands
She's keeping both her hands to herself
In her pocket
She's hiding something
And she won't look at you
She's deliberately avoiding eye contact
Won't look at you
Reiterating her avoidance of eye contact
She hides true love
She conceals her real feelings of love
En su bolsillo
In her pocket (repeated in Spanish)
She got a halo around her finger
She's wearing a ring which represents her commitment to someone else
Around you
The ring is meant for someone else, not the person she's addressing
You know that I love you boy
She acknowledges that she has feelings of love for him
Hot like Mexico, rejoice
She's passionate about him like the warm climate of Mexico
At this point I gotta choose
She's reached a point where she must make a decision
Nothing to lose
There's no risk in making this decision
Don't call my name
She doesn't want to be identified by the name he calls her
I'm not your babe
She doesn't belong to him like a possession
Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch
She doesn't want physical affection from him
Just smoke my cigarette and hush
She just wants to be left alone to smoke and be quiet
Alejandro
Referring to the man again
Ale-ale-jandro
A catchy refrain meant to enhance the song
Stop, please
She wants him to cease his actions and leave her alone
Just let me go Alejandro
She's pleading with him to release her from the relationship
She's not broken
She's not emotionally shattered
She's just a baby
She's simply young and naive
But her boyfriend's like a dad, just like a dad
Her significant other treats her like a father would his child
And all those flames that burned before him
Her previous relationships have been passionate and fiery
Now he's gonna fire fight, gotta cool the bad
He's trying to put out those feelings of passion and calm things down
Don't bother me
She's requesting that he not be a nuisance to her
Don't call my name
She's still rejecting the use of the name he calls her
Bye, Fernando
She's referring to another man, telling him goodbye
