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.

Feels like a remix, yeah
It must be the remix, yeah ooh, ooh
Got to feel the remix, yeah (You're so special right here)
Photos of the boss
She just post 'em on a blog
Get a lotta views
Jean Basquiat's
In the middle of our hall
She's my work of art
So I pin her to the wall
Oh oh, sex and the dope
Underneath the waterfall
Sight seeing in a space jet
As I be paying off the stores
Ain't me understated
They've got a tag on you boy
'Cause I'm the hottest cross the board
Cruise through the ghetto
Mulsanne made of metal
Hanging out the window
Bruce Willis on the pedal
Pool on the roof
Black bottle for a model
Oh, I gotta keep it fly
Mosquito doors on the auto, boss
I, I feel good, I walk alone
But then I trip upon myself and I fall
I, I stand up, and then I'm okay
But then you print some shit
That makes me wanna scream
So do what you want
What you want with my body
Do what you want
Don't stop, let's party
Do what you want

Early morning, longer nights
Tom Ford, private flights
Crazy schedule, fast life

'Cause it's our life
(Let's slow it down)
I could be the drink in your cup
I could be the green in your blunt
Your pusher man, yeah I got what you want
You wanna escape all of the crazy shit
You're the Marilyn, I'm the president
And I love to hear you sing, girl
Do what I want
Do what I want with your body
Do what I want
Do what I want with your body
Back of the club, takin' shots, gettin' naughty
No invitations, it's a private party
Do what I want
Do what I want with your body

Do what I want with your body
Yea we takin' these haters

Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body
You can't stop my voice 'cause
You don't own my life but
Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body
Sometimes I'm scared I suppose
If you ever let me go
I would fall apart
If you break my heart
So just take my body
And don't stop the party
You can't have my heart (Help me now)
And you won't use my mind but

The song "Do What U Want" by Lady Gaga ft. R. Kelly appears to be a reflection on the public nature of celebrity life, the exploitation of women in the industry, and the power dynamics that come with fame. The lyrics suggest the song is about the conflict between the artist's desire for privacy and their willingness to compromise their own boundaries for the sake of their career. The line "Jean Basquiat's in the middle of our hall, she's my work of art so I pin her to the wall" seems to suggest that the artist is objectifying women, treating them as mere possessions to be displayed and consumed. The repeated line "do what you want with my body" could be interpreted as both an invitation to fans to consume and exploit the artist's body, as well as a defiance of those who attempt to control or silence the artist.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of contradiction and struggle between the artist's desire for control and their unwillingness to be subdued by external powers. The lyrics "you can't stop my voice 'cause you don't own my life, but do what you want with my body" suggest that while the artist refuses to be silenced, they may still feel powerless in the face of public scrutiny and exploitation. The repeated use of the word "boss" could be seen as a way for the artist to assert their own power and control over their image and career, but it could also be interpreted as a commentary on the power dynamics that exist within the music industry.

Love is just a history that they may prove
And when you're gone
I'll tell them my religion's you
When Punktious comes to kill the king upon his throne
I'm ready for their stones
I'll dance, dance, dance
With my hands, hands, hands
Above my head, head, head
Like Jesus said
I'm gonna dance, dance, dance
With my hands, hands, hands above my head
Hands together, forgive him before he's dead, because
I won't cry for you
I won't crucify the things you do
I won't cry for you
See, when you're gone, I'll still be Bloody Mary
Love
We are not just art for Michelangelo to carve
He can't rewrite the aggro of my furied heart
I'll wait on mountain tops in Paris, cold
J'veux pas mourir toute seule
I'll dance, dance, dance
With my hands, hands, hands
Above my head, head, head
Like Jesus said
I'm gonna dance, dance, dance
With my hands, hands, hands above my head
Hands together, forgive him before he's dead, because
I won't cry for you
I won't crucify the things you do
I won't cry for you
See, when you're gone, I'll still be Bloody Mary
Love
