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.

We made it with their money
Haha hahahahaha

Hahahaha

Huh
See that girl, watch her go
Red high heels and pretty toes
Silly puddy, dungaroos
Lady's got a killer groove
And you've got a lot to lose
All the famous boys and girls stand around and pose
Everybody knows in the boom boom room
We all take off our clothes, fancy clothes
Take off your fancy clothes
Oh baby, don't be shy
Fashion's got a lazy eye
Everybody, let's take off our fancy pants tonight
(fancy, fancy, you're so fancy) [2x]
Grab those tight and lacy bottoms
Don't leave home without 'em
Let's take off our fancy pants tonight
(fancy, fancy, you're so fancy) [2x]

The lyrics of Lady Gaga's song "Fancy Pants" are an upbeat celebration of self-expression through fashion and individuality. The opening lines acknowledge the irony of creating a beat with someone else's money, perhaps reflecting the world of commercial pop music. The chorus is a playful repetition of the words "fancy, fancy, you're so fancy," implicitly addressing both the song's subject and its audience as sophisticated and stylish. The song then describes a fashionable woman wearing red high heels and pretty toes, with the playful addition of "silly putty" and "dungaroos." The use of these playful and nostalgic references to childhood toys adds to the sense that fashion can provide a release from the mundane, and a way to recapture a sense of playfulness.
The second verse shifts focus to a man, wearing blue jeans with an "ass like whoa." The description of his groove leads into a reference to the boom boom room, a famous nightclub in New York City in the 2000s, where famous people would gather to see and be seen. The reference to drug use ("put it up their nose") is a reminder that fashion and glamour can sometimes have a darker side, while the repetition of "take off your fancy clothes" suggests a kind of liberation that comes from stripping away the trappings of social status.
Overall, "Fancy Pants" is a celebration of creativity and individuality, using fashion as a way to communicate a sense of self and to find connection with others. The playful lyrics, catchy beat, and nods to nostalgia make it a fun and lighthearted addition to Lady Gaga's discography.
