Reviewers also found influences of Italian disco music producer Giorgio Moroder and American rock musician Bruce Springsteen in the song. After the release of Born This Way, \"Marry the Night\" charted in some nations due to digital sales from the parent album. The song became one of Gaga's lowest charting singles worldwide. It peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States, her only American single not to break into the top-ten.\n\nGaga directed the songs's accompanying music video, which was filmed in New York City.

Written and produced by Gaga, Fernando Garibay, Jeppe Laursen and DJ White Shadow, it was developed while Gaga was on the road with The Monster Ball Tour. Inspired by the 1990s empowering music for women and the gay community, Gaga explained that \"Born This Way\" was her freedom song. She had sung part of the chorus at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards in 2010 and announced the song as the lead single from the album. The single was released on February 11, 2011.\n\nThe electropop song is backed by rumbling synth sounds, a humming bass and additional chorus percussion, with sole organ toward the end. The lyrics discuss self-empowerment and feature the names of LGBT communities, including \"chola\" and \"orient\", which drew criticism from Asian and Hispanic communities. Critics who favored the song called it a \"club-ready anthem\", while it faced criticism for having similarities with Madonna's 1989 single \"Express Yourself\". The song reached number one in 19 countries. It became her third single to top the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and the 1000th song by any artist. It became the fastest-selling song in iTunes history, selling one million copies in five days. \"Born This Way\" has sold 8.2 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time.\n\nNick Knight directed the accompanying music video, which was inspired by painters like Salvador Dal\u00c3\u00ad and Francis Bacon, and their surrealistic images. Gaga is depicted as giving birth to a new race with the help of a prologue. A series of dance sequences later, the video concludes with the view of a city populated by this race. Critics noted cultural references and artistic similarities to the work of Madonna, Michael Jackson, Bj\u00c3\u00b6rk, and late fashion designer Alexander McQueen, as well as to Greek mythology and surrealism.\nThe song along with its music video won two awards at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards and two awards at the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards. Gaga performed the song at the 53rd Grammy Awards after coming out of an incubating vessel.

It was released by Interscope Records on April 15, 2011, four days ahead of its scheduled release. Written and produced by Lady Gaga and RedOne, \"Judas\" is an electro house and dance song about a woman in love with a man who betrayed her. It embodies the incidents that have haunted Gaga in the past, and its core meaning refers to the negative parts of her life that she can't escape. Gaga has further explained that the song was also about honoring one's inner darkness in order to bring oneself into the light. The artwork for the single was designed by Gaga in Microsoft Word. In spite of a polarizing impact on several religious groups, the song was generally well received by critics, who likened the song to \"Bad Romance\" with some noting it should have been the album's lead single.\n\nThe song has a similar sound to Gaga's previous RedOne-produced tracks, including \"Poker Face\", \"LoveGame\", \"Bad Romance\", and \"Alejandro\". It contains three distinct hooks and a house-influenced break down. Gaga explained that the lines spoken during the breakdown talk about her as beyond redemption, regarding the traditional views of what a woman should be. \"Judas\" initially had a strong sales opening, but was less successful commercially in comparison to Gaga's previous singles. The song reached the top ten of the charts in most major music markets, and also reached the top of the charts in South Korea.\n\nA music video for the song was filmed in April 2011, co-directed by Gaga and Laurieann Gibson and co-starring Norman Reedus. It has a Biblical storyline where Reedus played Judas Iscariot and Gaga played Mary Magdalene. The video portrays them as modern day missionaries going to Jerusalem. It included the Biblical story of Judas betraying Jesus, and ended with Gaga as Magdalene getting stoned to death. Before its release, the Catholic League condemned Gaga for the alleged use of religious imagery and her role in the video. However, critics generally praised the video, not finding any offensive content. The video was nominated for two awards at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. Gaga has performed \"Judas\" on a number of television shows, including The Graham Norton Show, Saturday Night Live, Good Morning America's \"Summer Concert Series\", the French X Factor as well as on The Ellen DeGeneres Show."},{"idArtist":"111236","strMusicBrainzArtistID":"650e7db6-b795-4eb5-a702-5ea2fc46c848","idAlbum":"2109593","idTrack":"32723942","strTrack":"Yo\u00fc and I","strTrackThumb":"http://www.theaudiodb.com/images/media/track/thumb/uxrwsy1359181466.jpg","strMusicVid":"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9YMU0WeBwU","strDescription":"\"You and I\" (stylized as \"Yo\u00fc and I\") is a song by American recording artist Lady Gaga, taken from her second studio album, Born This Way (2011).

The performance was praised by critics for Gaga's \"strong\" vocals and her energy, and also for giving the show a strong beginning."},{"idArtist":"111236","strMusicBrainzArtistID":"650e7db6-b795-4eb5-a702-5ea2fc46c848","idAlbum":"2109595","idTrack":"32723965","strTrack":"Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)","strTrackThumb":"http://www.theaudiodb.com/images/media/track/thumb/yrywqt1359181992.jpg","strMusicVid":"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVEG793G3N4","strDescription":"\"Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)\" is a song by American pop recording artist Lady Gaga, from her debut album, The Fame. It was released as the third single in Australia, New Zealand and selected European countries, and the fourth single in France. The song is a calypso-styled, mid-tempo ballad, and is about breaking up with one's old partner and finding someone new. The song received mostly negative reviews from critics; it was criticized for being \"dry and lifeless,\" and halting the \"bad-girl party atmosphere\" of the album.\n\nFailing to match the popularity of her previous singles, the song peaked at number fifteen on the Australian ARIA Charts and at number nine on the RIANZ charts of New Zealand. It proved to be successful in Sweden, where it managed to go as far as number two on the Sverigetopplistan chart. The accompanying Italian-American 1950s-themed music video portrayed Gaga and her friends roaming around the streets of an Italian neighborhood; Gaga riding a Vespa and also singing the song while at home with her boyfriend. She performed the song on her first headlining The Fame Ball Tour, wearing a black-and-white leotard, and the 2009 shows of The Monster Ball Tour while standing inside a giant gyroscope."},{"idArtist":"111236","strMusicBrainzArtistID":"650e7db6-b795-4eb5-a702-5ea2fc46c848","idAlbum":"2109595","idTrack":"32723966","strTrack":"Poker Face","strTrackThumb":"http://www.theaudiodb.com/images/media/track/thumb/uwpquy1359181937.jpg","strMusicVid":"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bESGLojNYSo","strDescription":"\"Poker Face\" is a song by American recording artist and songwriter Lady Gaga from her debut album, The Fame. Produced by RedOne, it was released as the album's second single in late 2008 for some markets and in early 2009 for the rest of the world. The song is an uptempo electropop and dance-pop song in the key of G# minor, following in the footsteps of her previous single \"Just Dance\" but with a darker musical tone. The main idea behind the song is bisexuality and was a tribute by Gaga to her rock n' roll boyfriends.\n\n\"Poker Face\" was well received by most critics, who praised the robotic hook and the chorus. The song attained worldwide success, topping the charts in twenty countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many European countries. \"Poker Face\" is also the most downloaded song in the British chart history. It is among the best-selling singles of all time, having sold over 14 million copies. The accompanying music video for the song portrays Gaga singing it in various costumes and playing strip poker in a getaway villa.\n\nGaga performed the song for the eighth season of the television show American Idol as well as the Fame Ball and Monster Ball tours. The live performances included an electronic version and an acoustic version, which she played on the piano. It was nominated for both Song of the Year and Record of the Year at the 52nd Grammy Awards, and won the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. Rolling Stone ranked it number ninety-six on their list of 100 Best Songs of the 2000s decade. In October 2011, NME placed it at number 103 on its list \"150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years\"."}]}
