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.

Gonna show you something that you can't ignore
Wanna take a peek then open up the curtains
'Cause I guarantee you've never seen a show like this before
Gonna show you something that you can't ignore
Wanna take a peek?
Then open up the curtains
I wanna know, what do you like?
What would you say, if I said I'd do anything to you you want?
I wanna know, yeah, it's alright
New positions, bet you would like
You'll be screaming, "Stop, yes, please, hon"
Baby, you've got tricks in my head
Craziest chick you've ever had
I heard what you said in your sleep
You wanna wear, you wanna mend
I like it rough, I like it fast
I know that deep down you're a freak
Just say the magic words and I'll come
I'll hypnotize you
You're gonna lose your mind, don't you know?
Baby, it's a freakshow
'Cause I guarantee you've never seen a show like this before
Gonna show you something that you can't ignore
Wanna take a peek?
Then open up the curtains
Baby, it's a freakshow
'Cause I guarantee you've never seen a show like this before
Gonna show you something that you can't ignore
'Cause I'm sure you're tired of being certain
Baby, it's a freakshow
Baby, it's a freakshow
When you're alone, what do you dream?
I wanna know your fantasy
Don't matter how wrong it might be
I wanna see, know what I mean
Psycho and fun, sexy and mean
It's just different when you're with me
I want it all, I got a spell
Put it on you and I won't tell
Your secret, 'cause I am your slave
You want it hard, you want it tough
I like it long, never enough
I promise that I won't behave
Just say the magic words and I'll come
I'll hypnotize you
You're gonna lose your mind, don't you know?
Baby, it's a freakshow
'Cause I guarantee you've never seen a show like this before
Gonna show you something that you can't ignore
Wanna take a peek?

Wanna take a peek then open up the curtains
If you are curious, reveal what is hidden behind the curtains
Baby, it's a freakshow

Baby, you've got tricks in my head
You have bewitched and captured my thoughts
Craziest chick you've ever had
The most unconventional woman you have ever been with
I heard what you said in your sleep
I have caught hints of your deepest desires while you were dreaming
You wanna wear, you wanna mend
You have fantasies of dressing up and repairing
I like it rough, I like it fast

Don't matter how wrong it might be
Regardless of its moral implications, I am interested in understanding
I wanna see, know what I mean
I desire to witness and comprehend the essence of your desires
Psycho and fun, sexy and mean
Your fantasies mix elements of madness, amusement, sensuality, and cruelty
It's just different when you're with me
Being in my presence transforms and amplifies your experiences
I want it all, I got a spell
I crave complete satisfaction, and I possess the power to enchant
Put it on you and I won't tell
I will unleash this satisfaction upon you without disclosing it to others
Your secret, 'cause I am your slave
Your innermost desires are safe with me as I willingly serve you
You want it hard, you want it tough
You seek intensity and challenges in your experiences
I like it long, never enough
I enjoy prolonged encounters that never seem to satisfy me completely
I promise that I won't behave
I assure you that my behavior will remain unruly and unconventional
Gimme gimme that
Give me that
Give you, give you that freaky, freaky, freakshow
I will provide you with an extraordinary and bizarre spectacle
Like it like that kitty, kitty cat, oh
You enjoy it when things become wild and unpredictable
'Cause I'm sure you're tired of being certain
I assume you are weary of predictability and crave novelty
