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.

The song "Beautiful Dirty Rich" by Lady Gaga depicts a life of excess, partying, and living in the moment without much regard for financial stability. The repetition of "beautiful, dirty, rich" throughout the song expresses the hedonistic lifestyle of the characters portrayed in the lyrics. The first verse describes a wild night at a red-light district with a "pornographic dance fight" and drinking heavily despite having no money. The chorus repeats the phrase "bang bang" which further emphasizes the reckless and carefree attitude of the characters.
The second verse continues to describe the extravagant but financially unstable lifestyle of the characters. They have "tighter than plastic" clothes, do the dance right, and indulge in expensive treats such as "ice cream topped with honey," yet still struggle with financial hardship. The apology from "Daddy" in the lyrics' final lines implies that they may be living off of their parents' money and feeling guilty for their irresponsible behavior.
Overall, "Beautiful Dirty Rich" is a commentary on the glamorous yet shallow side of living in the moment, with no desire to plan for the future or consider the consequences of one's actions.
