Over the past few years, Lady Gaga has focused largely on her acting career, leaving many of the little monsters — her beloved fanbase — thirsty for new music. Days after reports indicated a new single would be coming in February, new track “Stupid Love” has leaked to the masses, and Gaga fans can’t stop talking about it.
Many are speculating that the song is Gaga’s — real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta — first single from thew 33-year-old’s upcoming sixth album. The upbeat bop is reminiscent of the high-energy, disco-influenced tunes of her early career.
Lyrics to the leaked tune include, “You’re the one that I’ve been waiting for / Gotta quit this crying / Nobody’s gonna heal me if I don’t open the door / Kinda hard to believe (Gotta have faith in me).”
“lady gaga serving gay bop, heavenly vocals, born this way nostalgia, disco pop, 80s synths in one song … yeah everyone freaked out, everybody got down, everybody wants STUPID LOVE,” wrote one fan on Twitter.
“I’m not embarrassed to say I was excited when I heard Lady GaGa was releasing a new song,” added another. “But after my son played Stupid Love I dropped my lasagna in amazement!”
Another monster thinks the song is already worthy of Song of the Year and Record of the Year at the 2021 Grammys — or possibly this year’s — while others are happy to simply have new material from the songstress.
