Lady Gaga Reveals Track Listing for 'Born This Way'

Lady Gaga revealed the back cover art of her forthcoming album, Born This Way, today, which includes the full track listing for the highly anticipated disc. The set includes all of the songs Rolling Stone previewed back in February, her collaboration with the E Street Band's Clarence Clemons, a few cuts mentioned in assorted interviews and a handful of previously unmentioned tunes.

Of the newly announced song titles, the most enticing is certainly "Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)," the likely inspiration for the album's peculiar cover, in which the singer's body is morphed into a chrome-coated motorcycle. There is also a cut called "Heavy Metal Lover," which, along with the cover art and the hard rock guitars on a few of the tracks we've heard already, indicates that this may be Gaga's rock album.

Song Stories

“1999”

Prince | 1982

“I don’t consider myself a great poet,” Prince told Rolling Stone. “I just know I’m here to say what’s on my mind.” In the case of the apocalyptic party anthem “1999,” he was worried about then-president Ronald Reagan’s foreign policies. The song’s melody is based on a riff borrowed from the Mamas and Papas’ “Monday, Monday,” and Prince originally envisioned the first verse with three-part harmony but later split the vocals between himself and members of the Revolution. Because Warner Bros., with whom Prince was locked in a contractual battle, owned the original’s masters, Prince rerecorded the song and appropriately released that version in 1999.
