The Fame Monster
"Telephone" was originally written by Gaga for singer Britney Spears's sixth studio album, "Circus" (2008), but Spears' label rejected it. Gaga later recorded it as a collaboration with Beyoncé for "The Fame Monster". The song talks about the singer preferring the dance floor rather than answering her lover's call, with the verses sung in a rapid-fire way, accompanied by double beats. Gaga explained that the song deals with her fear of suffocation, "fear [of] never being able to enjoy myself. 'Cause I love my work so much, I find it really hard to go out and have a good time." In "So Happy I Could Die", Gaga presents an ode to sexual feeling and actions, stating, "I love that lavender blonde, The way she moves the way she walks, I touch myself, can't get enough." The object of affection in the track becomes Gaga herself as she sings about drinking, dancing, observing, and touching herself, in a sedated, Auto-Tuned voice. "The Fame Monster" ends with the song "Teeth", which has a gospel style composition.
