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.
Come To Mama
Lady Gaga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop throwin' stones at your sisters and your brothers
Man, it wasn't that long ago we were all living in the jungle
So why do we gotta put each other down
When there's more than enough love to g-g-go around?
Come to mama
Tell me who hurt ya
If we don't figure this out
Dude in a lab coat and a man of God
(Come onto mama, come on, mama)
Fought over prisms and a forty-day flood
(Come onto mama, come on, mama)
Well, I say rainbows did more than they've ever done
So why do we gotta fight over ideas?
We're talkin' the same old shit after all of these years
Come to mama
Tell me who hurt ya
There's gonna be no future
If we don't figure this out
Oh, come tomorrow
Who are you gonna follow?
There's gonna be no future
If we don't figure this out
Psychic guru catches minnows in the harbor
(Come onto mama, come on, mama)
Everyone tells him he should work a little harder (hey man get to work, catch up)
(Come onto mama, come on, mama)
They all tell you that freedom must be bought
But, baby, he's already caught them
So why do we gotta tell each other how to live?
The only prisons that exist are ones we put each other in
Come to mama
Tell me who hurt ya
There's gonna be no future
If we don't figure this out
Oh, come tomorrow
Who are you gonna follow?
There's gonna be no future
If we don't figure this out
Come to mama (come onto me)
(Come on mama)
'Cause I wanna be there
I wanna be there for you
I wanna be there
Why do we gotta tell each other how to live?
The only prisons that exist are ones we put each other in
Why do we gotta tell each other how to live?
Look what that rainbow did
In Lady Gaga's song Come to Mama, she presents a powerful message about the importance of love and unity among people. The first verse highlights the need to stop criticizing and hurting each other and instead embrace love and live together peacefully. Gaga reminds us that not too long ago, we all lived in the jungle, which symbolizes the origin of humanity, where people lived in harmony without divisions. Therefore, there is no need to put others down, and there is more than enough love to go around.
In the chorus, Gaga invites people to come to her and share their pains; she wants to unite people to create a better future. She emphasizes that if people fail to figure out how to live together in peace, then there will be no future. In the other verses, Gaga talks about how people fight among themselves over meaningless things such as ideologies or work, forgetting that we share this earth and need to work together to make progress. She argues that freedom lies within us and not in what people think about us, reminding us to be ourselves and not let others impose their rules on us.
Overall, the song is about breaking down barriers and coming together to create a better world full of love, acceptance, and peace.
Line by Line Meaning
Everybody's got to love each other
Everyone needs to show love and respect for one another
Stop throwin' stones at your sisters and your brothers
Let's stop criticizing each other and learn to get along
Man, it wasn't that long ago we were all living in the jungle
In the grand scheme of things, humans haven't been civilized for that long
So why do we gotta put each other down
There's no reason to insult or belittle each other
When there's more than enough love to g-g-go around?
Love is abundant and we should share it with everyone
Come to mama
Find comfort and support in me
Tell me who hurt ya
Share your pain with me, let me help you heal
There's gonna be no future
If we don't work together, there won't be hope for the future
If we don't figure this out
We need to find a solution to our problems
Dude in a lab coat and a man of God
Science and religion can coexist
Fought over prisms and a forty-day flood
Argued over different interpretations of the same phenomena
Well, I say rainbows did more than they've ever done
Rainbows have brought more joy and unity than disagreements ever will
So why do we gotta fight over ideas?
Why can't we just accept and appreciate our differences?
We're talkin' the same old shit after all of these years
We're still having the same arguments and debates despite the passage of time
Come to mama (come onto me)
Seek refuge with me, let me offer you comfort
'Cause I wanna be there
I want to be there for you, to offer support and love
Why do we gotta tell each other how to live?
We shouldn't try to control each other's lives or beliefs
Look what that rainbow did
The beauty and wonder of a rainbow can bring people together
