The Fame Monster track listing "Bad Romance" is a single which is sung and written by Lady Gaga, with the help of RedOne. The song also serves as first single off The Fame Monster.

After 18 months of persistent graft and waving disco sticks in people's faces, a then-23-year-old Lady Gaga was about to revolutionise her own career and pop at large with the release of “Bad Romance”.

The lyrics "Bluffin' with my muffin" are about her fantasizing about women when having sex with her boyfriend. In a Carpool Karaoke segment of The Late Late Show with James Corden, where Corden and Gaga sang several of her songs as they played on the radio, Gaga revealed that she wrote "Poker Face" in only ten minutes.

YOUR VERTIGO SHTICK= (slang) a shtick is a special talent. This phrase is a reference to Alfred Hitchcock film "Vertigo", as well as the other parts here: "Psycho" and "Rear Window", but all of them also have a sexual meaning here. YOU'RE SICK= You are insane, you desire very abnormal and bad things.
