“Alejandro” is a song by American singer Lady Gaga from her third EP, The Fame Monster (2009)—a reissue of her debut studio album, The Fame (2008). Written and produced by Gaga and RedOne, it was released on April 20, 2010, as the third single from the EP. Interscope Records wanted the song “Dance in the Dark” to be the EP’s third single after “Alejandro” initially received limited airplay, but Gaga insisted on the latter.
The synth-pop song with Europop and Latin pop beats, opens with a sample of the main melody from Vittorio Monti’s “Csárdás”. The song was inspired by Gaga’s fear of men and about her breakups with her Latin boyfriends Alejandro, Roberto and Fernando.
Critics praised the song’s catchiness and production, but some criticized it as unoriginal, particularly for influence from pop acts ABBA and Ace of Base. Retrospective reviewers rated the song as one of Gaga’s finest. Upon the album’s release, the song charted in England and Hungary.
Upon its release as a single, “Alejandro” topped the Czech, Finnish, Mexican, Venezuelan, Polish, Russian and Romanian charts, and reached the top five in the US, Australia, Canada and Sweden. In its 2017 journal, which studied the structural patterns of earworm song melodies, the American Psychological Association called “Alejandro” one of the most catchy in the world.
The accompanying music video, directed by fashion photographer Steven Klein, was inspired by Gaga’s admiration for gay friends and her love for gay people. In the video, she dances with soldiers in a cabaret, intercut with scenes of a nearly naked man holding a machine gun and Gaga playing a nun who swallows a rosary.
Critics praised the idea and dark nature of the video and compared it to the work of 1980s pop artists. The Catholic League complained that Gaga was abusing religious symbols, which Klein denied, claiming that the scene – swallowing the rosary beads – was “Gaga’s desire to take a holy place”. Retrospective commenters analyzed the video’s thematic concerns, including BDSM, anti-fascism, sexual violence, and religion. Gaga performed the song on the ninth season of American Idol and most of her concert tour and residency shows.
Another Lady Gaga Song Lyrics : “Bad Romance” Lyrics From Lady Gaga
Lyrics Alejandro – Lady Gaga
–
I know that we are young, and I know that you may love me
But I just can’t be with you like this anymore
Alejandro
She’s got both hands in her pocket
And she won’t look at you, won’t look at you
She hides true love, en su bolsillo
She’s got a halo around her finger, around you
You know that I love you, boy
Hot, like Mexico, rejoice
At this point, I’ve gotta choose
Nothing to lose
Don’t call my name, don’t call my name, Alejandro
I’m not your babe, I’m not your babe, Fernando
Don’t wanna kiss, don’t wanna touch
Just smoke my cigarette and hush
Don’t call my name, don’t call my name, Roberto
Alejandro, Alejandro
Ale-Alejandro, Ale-Alejandro
Alejandro, Alejandro
Ale-Alejandro, Ale-Alejandro
Stop, please, just let me go
Alejandro, just let me go
She’s not broken
She’s just a baby
But her boyfriend’s like her dad, just like her dad
And all those flames that burned before him
Now he’s gotta firefight, gotta cool the bad
You know that I love you, boy
Hot, like Mexico, rejoice
At this point, I’ve gotta choose
Nothing to lose
Don’t call my name, don’t call my name, Alejandro
I’m not your babe, I’m not your babe, Fernando
Don’t wanna kiss, don’t wanna touch
Just smoke my cigarette and hush
Don’t call my name, don’t call my name, Roberto
Allejandro, Allejandro
Ale-Allejandro, Ale-Allejandro
Allejandro, Allejandro
Ale-Allejandro, Ale-Allejandro
Don’t bother me, don’t bother me
Allejandro
Don’t call my name, don’t call my name
Bye, Fernando
I’m not your babe, I’m not your babe
Allejandro
Don’t wanna kiss
Don’t wanna touch
Fernando
Don’t call my name, don’t call my name
Allejandro
I’m not your babe, I’m not your babe
Fernando
Don’t wanna kiss, don’t wanna touch
Just smoke my cigarette and hush
Don’t call my name, don’t call my name
Roberto
Ale-Allejandro, Ale-Allejandro
Allejandro, Allejandro
Ale-Allejandro, Ale-Allejandro
(I’m not your babe, I’m not your babe) Ale-Aljejandro, Ale-Aljejandro (Fernando)
(Don’t call my name, don’t call my name) Alejjandro, Alejjandro
Ale-Alejjandro, Ale-Alejjandro (Roberto)
