Stupid Love
Lady Gaga Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're the one that I've been waiting for
Gotta quit this cryin'
Nobody's gonna heal me if I don't open the door
Kinda hard to believe, gotta have faith in me

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

'Cause all I ever wanted was love
Hey-ya, hey-ya (ooh)
Hey-ya, hey-ya (ooh)
Hey-ya, hey-ya
All I ever wanted was love
Hey-ya, hey-ya (ooh)
Hey-ya, hey-ya (ooh)
Oh, yeah, oh yeah

I want your stupid love, love
I want your stupid love, love
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

Now it's time to free me from the shame
I gotta find that peace
Is it too late or could this love protect me from the pain?
I would battle for you, even if I break in two

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

'Cause all I ever wanted was love
Hey-ya, hey-ya (ooh)
Hey-ya, hey-ya (ooh)
Hey-ya, hey-ya
All I ever wanted was love
Hey-ya, hey-ya (ooh)
Hey-ya, hey-ya (ooh)
Oh, yeah, oh yeah

I want your stupid love, love
I want your stupid love, love
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

I don't need a reason (oh)
Not sorry, I want your stupid love
I don't need a reason (oh)
Not sorry, I want your stupid love
Ah, yeah, ah yeah

I want your stupid love, love (whoa, oh, oh, woo)
We got a stupid love, love
(Love, love, oh, oh-oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
I want your stupid love, love
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)




(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I want your stupid love, love

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.

And can we just take a moment and pay homage to her and her academy award winning acting skills! She’s a Beast! We maybe her little monsters but she is the true Monster cuz she crushes whatever she does in life! She most def is a legendary icon!

@keegancampbell1275

What a VIBE! I love how they kept the original synths during Gaga's part.

@sirdabzmcgee

“She kept the original synths.” Believe Coucou Chloe is just one individual who is from France but, stays in London. She makes some really good music.
