“Stupid Love” by Lady Gaga
In “Stupid Love”, Lady Gaga plays the role of someone who has seemingly been afraid to fall in love for some time. During this tenure, she was also depressed. But now she has decided to freely open herself up and give her all to romance. She seems to be expressing this sentiment specifically in light of finding a new romantic partner, i.e. the addressee. And what she is telling him is that she desires his “stupid love”. The way this expression reads is as if she doesn’t want him to hold anything back. And likewise, as aforementioned, she will not do so neither.
So basically, the narrator is someone who has rediscovered the courage to fall in love due to meeting someone whom she really likes.
Leak and Official Release Date
This song leaked online on the date of 21 January 2020. And Lady Gaga herself didn’t seem too pleased about it.
Her management subsequently officially released the song on the 28th of February, 2020. It came out as an official single (actually the lead single) from Gaga’s 2020 album. As of the writing of this post, the album’s title and exact date of release are unknown.
Writing Credits for “Stupid Love”
Lady Gaga and a number of established songwriters worked together to pen “Stupid Love”. The writers include the following:
- Max Martin
- BloodPop
- Tchami
- Ely Rise
I think this is far from an astute break down of the song. To oversimplify it to be about romantic love is a great disservice to the actual message of the song. It’s pretty clear this song is calling people to come together, I don’t see how you could miss that. It is very clear.
