Intro
Lady Gaga needs no introduction. She is a master at producing massive hits that hit the pop charts and has won 13 Grammy awards. She is known for being bold and expressing herself in her music. This track, “Born This Way,” talks about individuality and being who you are.
Song Review
“Born This Way” starts with a thunderous beat that gets you into the groove. The sound is very aggressive and in your face which is a good way of catching your attention to the song. The first lyrics “Cause you were born this way, baby” are performed convincingly and confidently which makes you listen.
The lyrics speak about Gaga’s memories of her mother telling her “There’s nothing wrong with loving who you are She said, Cause He made you perfect, babe”. This line is the overall message of the song, God created us humans in his image so we are all unique and perfect. Other lines like “Don’t hide yourself in regret, Just love yourself and you’re set” show how Gaga lets the audience know to embrace themselves with no shame. It is refreshing to see a pop song with meaning since most of them are made to be a radio hit. Still, though, the song has the pop recipe with a high-paced beat and dance-inducing rhythm.
What makes this song unique is how it can relate to anyone. It speaks to everyone by knowing that they are beautiful in their way and they should be confident to appear however they want. It has a powerful message paired with bold sounds and striking vocal performance.
Final Thoughts
“Born This Way” is a song made with intent. Lady Gaga used her platform, skills, and influence to create a song with a message. A message she knew that would be heard around the world that would be reminiscing to most. You can feel the good energy radiating from the song with how confident it makes you feel. It’s authentic to us as humans and a reminder that natural beauty is powerful. I love that Lady Gaga created this concept for a song especially knowing her backstory and what she believes. I’m not usually into her discography but I have always respected her work and now with this song even more.
My score: 9/10
