Born This Way is the second studio album by American singer Lady Gaga, released by Interscope Records on May 23, 2011. The music of Born This Way stems from the synthpop and dance-pop styles of her previous material while incorporating different forms of instrumentation from that on her previous releases, such as electronic rock and techno. It features a broader range of genres, such as opera, heavy metal, disco, house, and rock and roll, while its lyrical topics include sexuality, religion, freedom, feminism, and individualism. Born This Way received three Grammy Award nominations, including Gaga's third consecutive nomination for Album of the Year. In 2020, the magazine Rolling Stone included it in their updated list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, on the 484th spot.

With incomparable flair, the pop diva returns to her dance-pop days (her first pop-pop album since 2011) with a fabulously fun and deeply personal album that is at turns bizarre, theatrical, and ambitious.
