Lady Gaga, known for her boundary-pushing music and unique artistry, recently opened up about one of her fan-favorite tracks, “Bloody Mary,” and the timing of its release.
When asked which song she wished she had released as a single, the pop sensation shared her thoughts on the iconic song from her Born This Way album. Gaga explained that although she once thought “Bloody Mary” would have made a great single, she now believes the track was ahead of its time.
“I was gonna say ‘Bloody Mary,’ but I actually don’t feel that way because I don’t think that song would’ve been big when I put out Born This Way,” Lady Gaga admitted. “It became big over time, so it was like ahead of its time, that song.”
Gaga’s reflections also touched on the unexpected resurgence of “Bloody Mary,” a song that has gained newfound popularity with fans, especially with viral trends and support from younger generations.
She also jokingly added, “I don’t even know that Jenna Ortega was alive when I put that song out,” referencing the actress, who has become a prominent figure among younger audiences.
Though “Bloody Mary” was not initially released as a single, it has amassed a strong following, continuing to be celebrated by fans for its haunting lyrics and memorable melody. Gaga’s commentary on the track highlights its enduring legacy, proving that sometimes songs can outgrow their original release and gain new life long after their debut.
Lady Gaga’s thoughtful insight on the track only adds to the mystique of her career, where every song has a story and every release is a testament to her creative journey.
