Freak out, freak out, freak out, freak out (look at me)
Get down, get down, get down, get down (look at me)
Freak out, freak out, freak out, freak out
Look at me now

Overall Meaning

The chorus of "Stupid Love" by Lady Gaga finds the pop star lamenting her continued search for love. The lines "All I ever wanted was love" and "I want your stupid love" speak to a neediness that has not yet been met, while the repetition of "freak out" and "look at me" suggest a lack of confidence in her own allure. Still, she's determined to break free of her own limitations - she wants to stop crying, find peace and self-faith, and be open to love even if it hurts - hence the line "I would battle for you, even if I break in two." In a way, "Stupid Love" is Gaga's anthem to taking a chance on romance and the risk that comes with it. Ultimately, it's a song that emphasizes the desire to connect with others and to be understood.


Interestingly, "Stupid Love" is believed to be inspired by the Korean boy band BTS. Lady Gaga's choreographer, Richy Jackson, previously worked with the group on their "Love Yourself" world tour, and Gaga herself has expressed admiration for K-pop artists. It's fitting, then, that "Stupid Love" embodies the colorful and infectious qualities of K-pop, which puts an emphasis on visual spectacle and catchy melodies. The song also serves as the first single off Lady Gaga's 2020 album "Chromatica," which is her return to the electropop sounds that made her a superstar in the late 2000s. Overall, "Stupid Love" is a joyful celebration of love's transformative power, and one that marks another turning point in Lady Gaga's evolution as an artist.

Guys, sorry to disappoint but Tedros was the one who reached out to Gaga, begging for money.
Tedros is the head of the W.H.O.
The W.H.O. has been sitting on its arse for years, never doing its job properly and instead using these millions living like kings.
They’re in bed with the CCP.
They refuse to let Taiwan join, because the CCP hates Taiwan’s independence.
Taiwan had warned the W.H.O. about the coronavirus being transmissible from human to human back in late December 2019. But the W.H.O. ignored Taiwan, like it always does.
The W.H.O. instead only repeated what the CCP would say.
The CCP only changed its tune to reveal how dangerous the virus is in late January.
Don’t blame Gaga, she didn’t know. Tedros is the one who put the world through that mess.
Spread the message.

So no ones gonna talk about how the interlude, the beginning, is such a satisfying melody. Gives me childhood flashbacks somehow.

@Jhon-wv2cj

I can’t think of a creative name and she mades it by her own

@FuckMeGodGaloo

It was also composed by herself.
