Kiszivárgást megelőzve, a kitűzött megjelenés előtt egy héttel, Lady Gaga úgy döntött, hogy hivatalosan is kiadja novemberben érkező Artpop albumának első kislemezét, az Applause-t. USA-ban már megkapták a rádiók, azonban iTunes-ra csak később kerül majd fel (világ többi részéről információ még nincs, de nagy eltérés nem lehet a megjelenések között).
Applause televíziós premierje az augusztus 25-én tartandó MTV Video Music Awards-on lesz.
Applause
I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critic saying, “is it right or is it wrong?”
If only fame had an IV, baby I could bear
Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me the thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me the thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch
(Make it real loud)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch, touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch, touch
I’ve overheard your theory
"Nostalgia’s for geeks"
I guess sir, if you say so
Some of us just like to read
One second I’m a Koons
Then suddenly the Koons is me
Pop culture was an art
Now, art’s in pop culture, in me
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me the thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me the thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch
(Make it real loud)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch, touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch, touch
Touch, touch
Touch, touch now
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me the thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me the thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch
(Make it real loud)
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch, touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch, touch
AR-TP-OP
