Bad Romance
‘Bad Romance’ was presented at the end of the Alexander McQueen’s Spring/Summer 2010 show, during Paris Fashion Week. The music branded the event and generated so much interest that McQueen’s website’s servers went down due to the enormous amount of hits to see the catwalk video.
Later, Lady Gaga appeared in the ‘Bad Romance’ video using McQueen from beginning to end. Starting with a golden dress combined with a pair of blade lens glasses to a net top covered in crystals and ending with some of the most daring pieces: a structured bright suit with provocatively high heels or a dress that seemed to jump directly from the skin of a white bear.
The clean, aseptic aesthetic that rules throughout the video highlights McQueen’s garments. They have a central role in a story that intends to show the hard side of the female spirit. “Bad Romance” is certainly the best representation of Alexander McQueen’s work to the extent that all his eccentric universe is in harmony with the boldness of his unofficial muse.
According to wikipedia ‘Gaga, the song was one of her initial efforts among the songs that she wrote in 2009 while touring. The songs composed during that time were about the various abstract “monsters”—metaphors for her paranoias—that she faced during the tour. One of these concepts became the inspiration behind “Bad Romance”. Gaga explained that she generally felt lonely when she was involved in a relationship and that she was attracted to men with whom romance never works. “Bad Romance” explores her preference for such lonely relationships and her poor choice in men. Gaga wrote the lyrics in Norway on her tour bus. She elaborated on the writing process in an interview with Grazia‘.
I was in Russia, then Germany, and spent a lot of time in Eastern Europe. There is this amazing German house-techno music, so I wanted to make a pop experimental record. I kind of wanted to leave the ’80s a little bit, so the chorus is a ’90s melody, which is what the inspiration was. There was certainly some whisky involved in the writing of the record. It’s about being in love with your best friend.

‘When I was young, I never felt beautiful.
And as I struggled to find a sense of both inner and outer beauty,
I discovered the power of makeup.
I found the superhero within me by looking in the mirror and seeing who I wanted to be.’
