“Paparazzi” is a song by American singer Lady Gaga from her debut studio album, The Fame (2008). It was released as the album’s fifth and final single by Interscope Records. Gaga wrote and produced the song with Rob Fusari. The song describes Gaga’s struggle to find fame, as well as her balance between success and love.
Musically, it is an uptempo techno-pop and dance-pop song whose lyrics depict a stalker following someone for attention and fame.
The single was released on May 29, 2009 via a music video. On 6 July 2009, it was released digitally in Ireland and the UK and four days later physically in Australia. “LoveGame” was originally planned to be the third single released in the UK, but when the lyrics and music video were deemed potentially controversial, it was decided that “Paparazzi” would be released instead.
“Paparazzi” received critical acclaim for its “fun” and club-friendly nature. It was also a commercial success, attaining top ten chart positions in Australia, Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States and topping the charts in the Czech Republic, Germany and Scotland.
The accompanying music video was directed by Jonas Åkerlund and portrays Gaga as a doomed young star, hunted by photographers, who is nearly killed by her boyfriend (played by Alexander Skarsgård). It shows his survival, comeback, revenge on his girlfriend, and experiences on his way to fame.
The video won two MTV Video Music Awards in 2009 for Best Art Direction and Best Special Effects. Gaga performed the song at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in performance art that symbolizes the negative effects of fame leading to death. Additional live performances of the song took place during her many concert tours and residency shows.

Lyrics Paparazzi – Lady Gaga
–
We are the crowd, we’re c-comin’ out
Got my flash on, it’s true
Need that picture of you, it’s so magical
We’d be so fantastical
Leather and jeans, garage glamorous
Not sure what it means
But this photo of us, it don’t have a price
Ready for those flashing lights
‘Cause you know that, baby, I
I’m your biggest fan, I’ll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby, there’s no other superstar, you know that I’ll be
Your papa-paparazzi
Promise I’ll be kind
But I won’t stop until that boy is mine
Baby, you’ll be famous, chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
I’ll be your girl backstage at your show
Velvet ropes and guitars
Yeah, ’cause you’re my rock star in between the sets
Eyeliner and cigarettes
Shadow is burnt, yellow, dance and we turn
My lashes are dry
Purple teardrops I cry, it don’t have a price
Loving you is cherry pie
‘Cause you know that, baby, I
I’m your biggest fan, I’ll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby, there’s no other superstar, you know that I’ll be
Your papa-paparazzi
Promise I’ll be kind
But I won’t stop until that boy is mine
Baby, you’ll be famous, chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Real good, we dance in the studio
Snap, snap to that shit on the radio
Don’t stop for anyone
We’re plastic, but we still have fun!
Papa-paparazzi
Baby, there’s no other superstar, you know that I’ll be
Your papa-paparazzi
But I won’t stop until that boy is mine
Baby, you’ll be famous, chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
