"Judas," the second single from Lady Gaga's upcoming album Born This Way, leaked online today. (The song was originally scheduled to debut on Tuesday.) Though some of the songs we've heard from Gaga's new album find her embracing bombastic Eighties rock and early Nineties house music, "Judas" is a straight-ahead dance pop number that plays to the singer's established strengths. Though "Judas" certainly has its own charms and at least three insanely catchy hooks, it leans hard on Gaga's signature moves and basically sounds like a cross between "Bad Romance" and "Poker Face." Check it out for yourself in the stream below.

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
