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 lyrics of Lady Gaga's song Do What U Want contain themes of power dynamics, specifically in the music industry. Gaga sings about feeling good and confident, but at times becoming vulnerable to the media's harsh criticism. She expresses frustration with journalists who write about her without regard for how it will affect her emotional well-being. At the same time, she acknowledges that her body is a part of her public image and feels that she has to let others do what they want with it. She also conveys the sense that her voice and mind belong only to herself, and that others can't use them for their own purposes.
Overall, the song is an anthem for self-empowerment and the right to control one's own body and mind. Gaga seems to be saying that while she may feel pressure to conform to society's expectations, she ultimately has the power to decide what she wants for herself. By asserting this message through her music, she encourages listeners to do the same.

'Cause my body belongs to you when I'm on stage eh
On stage, my body is a part of my performance and is used to entertain and please the audience

Me siento bien, camino sola
Pero entonces me tropiezo y me caigo
Me levanto y luego estoy bien
Pero entonces publicas mie*da
Que me hace querer gritar
Así que haz lo que quieras
Lo que quieras con mi cuerpo
Haz lo que quieras
No te detengas, festejemos
Haz lo que quieras
Lo que quieras con mi cuerpo
Haz lo que quieras
Lo que quieras con mi cuerpo
Escribe lo que quieras
Dí lo que quieras sobre mi
Si te lo estas preguntando
Tienes que saber que no lo lamento
<br
/>
Haz lo que quieras
Lo que quieras con mi cuerpo
Lo que quieras con mi cuerpo
No puedes tener mi corazón
Y no usarás mi mente pero
Haz lo que quieras (con mi cuerpo)
Haz lo que quieras (con mi cuerpo)
No puedes detener mi voz
Porque no controlas mi vida
Haz lo que quieras (con mi cuerpo)
Haz lo que quieras (con mi cuerpo)
Temprano en la mañana, noches más largas
Tom Ford, viajes privados
Horarios locos, vida rápida
No lo cambiaría por nada
Porque es nuestra vida
(Bajemos la velocidad)
Puedo ser la bebida en tu copa
Puedo ser lo verde en tu cigarro
Tu traficante, si, tengo lo que quieres
Quieres escapar de toda esta mie*da loca
Tú eres Marylin, yo soy el presidente
Amaría escucharte decir esto, chica
Haz lo que quiero
Haz lo que quiero con tu cuerpo
Haz lo que quiero
Haz lo que quiero con tu cuerpo
De vuelta en el club, sacándonos fotos, poniéndonos traviesos
Sin invitaciones, es una fiesta privada
Haz lo que quiero
Haz lo que quiero con tu cuerpo
Haz lo que quiero
Haz lo que quiero con tu cuerpo
Sí, estamos agarrando esos enemigos y acabamos con ellos
Y estamos en la zona VIP, como si no nos importara un carajo
(Versión con Christina Aguilera)
Mis huesos duelen
Por todos los shows
Pero no siento el dolor porque soy una campeona
Reflexiono
Y luego estoy bien
Porque mi cuerpo te pertenece a ti cuando estoy en el escenario
No puedes tener mi corazón
Y no usarás mi mente pero
Haz lo que quieras (con mi cuerpo)
Haz lo que quieras (con mi cuerpo)
No puedes detener mi voz
Porque no controlas mi vida
Haz lo que quieras (con mi cuerpo)
Haz lo que quieras (con mi cuerpo)
A veces estoy asustada, supongo
Si alguna vez vas a dejarme.
Voy a desmoronarme
Si rompes mi corazón.
Asique solo toma mi cuerpo
Y no detengas la fiesta
No puedes tener mi corazón
Y no usarás mi mente pero
Haz lo que quieras (con mi cuerpo)
Haz lo que quieras (con mi cuerpo)
No puedes detener mi voz
Porque no controlas mi vida
Haz lo que quieras (con mi cuerpo)
Haz lo que quieras (con mi cuerpo)
Haz lo que quieras conmigo!
Lo que quieras con mi cuerpo
Haz lo que quieras conmigo!
Lo que quieras con mi cuerpo
Haz lo que quieras conmigo!
Lo que quieras con mi cuerpo
Haz lo que quieras conmigo!
Lo que quieras con mi cuerpo, mundo
Ayúdame ahora
Lo que quieras con mi cuerpo
Haz lo que quieras con mi cuerpo
Haz lo que quieras con mi cuerpo
Lo que quieras con mi cuerpo, mundo
Lo que quieras con mi cuerpo

As a mother of two teenage girls (18 and 15) who face every day with the pressures of perfection- I find Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera to be such amazing examples of being naturally beautiful women- forget boob/butt/cheek implants, botox, lip injections while trying to look like every other girl/woman out there on Instagram or Facebook or whatever app folks are using these days- Lady Gaga is unique, and kind and her personality and talent shine through and Christina Aguilera is equally beautiful in a different way and watching/listening to her sing is a gift and she’s stayed humble. Having to watched both these women grow up and discover fame in different ways but equally public We have watched them fall in love and fall out of love, be stick thin and slightly heavier , short hair to long hair, they’ve tried different styles of music, they’ve acted in movies and developed their voices and artistry over the years and all in front of the world for everyone to criticize their failures and applaud their success… but what I find so impressive is that now as grown women they embrace their uniqueness and aren’t afraid to experiment and seem to have found peace with who they are without hurting themselves or the people around them… and that is the example I want my girls to look to for inspiration and motivation while confidently finding their own voices and looks and sense of self!
Dana Johnson
Exactly like that.
