"Bad Romance" is a dance-pop song with house, new wave and techno influences. According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, "Bad Romance" is set in common time with a metronome of 119 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of A minor, with Gaga's vocal range spanning from the low-note of E3 to the high-note of C5. The song follows in the chord progression of Am–C–F–C–G in the verses and F–G–Am–C–F–G–E–Am in the chorus. The song opens with Gaga singing a portion of the chorus, then transitioning into the "Rah-rah--ah-ah-ah, Roma-roma-ma, Gaga-ooh-la-la" hook. It is followed by the sound of drum beats and keyboards. After the first verse, the pre-chorus follows, with Gaga voicing the lines, "You know that I want you, And you know that I need you, I want your bad, your bad romance". The full-throated chorus then follows, where she sings, "I want your love, And I want your revenge, You and me could write a bad romance ... Caught in a bad romance."
In the United States, "Bad Romance" debuted at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 on November 14, 2009, making it Gaga's highest debuting song on the chart at the time. It sold 143,000 paid digital downloads in its first week. After two weeks the song moved from number 11 to number two, which became its peak. It held the spot for seven non-consecutive weeks, held out of the top spot by Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z featuring Alicia Keys and Tik Tok by Kesha. The movement to the runner-up spot was first spurred by a 49% digital gain, which took the song to the top of the Hot Digital Songs chart, selling 209,000 digital copies that week. "Bad Romance" became Gaga's third-highest peaking song on the Hot 100, behind "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". The song was certified four-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for shipment of four million copies of the single.
The Music Video
The concept of the music video was a joint collaboration between Gaga and Lawrence. Originally, the video was going to be shot in New York City, with more elaborate sets, including sets outdoors. The idea was scrapped, however, for budgetary reasons: the budget for the video was low and there was no product placement. Because of Gaga's schedule, the video was shot in Los Angeles over a two-day period. Lawrence described Gaga's work ethic and creativity during the video shoot: "She loves the art form of music videos and she is a real creative partner and has great ideas and really cool and unique tastes. She has a great team working with her as well, helping build really fantastic things that she wears. She works hard, she shows up on time and she's pretty spontaneous ... it was great ... if she had a new song and wanted to do something, I would do it in a second. She was really fun to work with." lady gaga, beyoncé, jay z, justin timberlake, justin bieber, ariana grande, miley cyrus, one direction, kardashians, paul mccartney, john lennon, the beatles, the pope, barack obama, obama, usa, united states, how to get any woman, jennifer lopez, kim kardashian, taylor swift, brasil, brazil, india, pakistan, china, making money, angelina jolie, brad pitt, leonardo dicaprio, brangelina, george clooney, cbs, cnn, abc, nbc, how to get any girl, dating, secrets about dating, celebreties, celebs, hollywood, warner bros, universal, disney, fashion, vogue, marie claire, mick jagger, rolling stones, vangelis, charlie sheen, emma watson, katy perry, parineeti chopra, nargis fakhri, huma qureshi, shraddha kapoor, sonakshi sinha, kareena kapoor, kangana ranaut, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, John Abraham, Ranbir Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Cui Jian, Fan Bingbing, Jay Chou, Andy Lau, Jackie Chan, Zhang Ziyi,Eason Chan, Yang Mi, Huang Xiaoming, Jolin Tsai, Lin Chi-ling, Hatsune Miku, Norika Fujiwara, Yukie Nakama, Koyuki Kato, Nanako Matsushima, Misaki Iton, Yuko Takeuchi, Ko Shibasaki, Meisa Kuroki, Keito Kitagawa, Miki Nakatani, Girls’ Generation, SNSD, Big Bang, Ryu Hyun-Jin, Choo Shin-Soo, Psy, SHINee, Yuna Kim, Jeon Ji Hyun, Ha Ji Won, Song Hye Kyo, Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Byung Hun, Vanessa Paradis, david guetta, Bérénice Bejo, Olivier Martinez, halle berry, Vincent Cassel, Monica Bellucci, Gaspard Ulliel, Eva Green, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, disney studios, Élodie Bouchez, Lea Séydoux, Marion Cotillard, daft punk,
