The story behind the song

"Government Hooker" explores themes of female sexual empowerment, using the alleged affair between John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe as a metaphor. The song begins with Lady Gaga singing in a dramatic, operatic style, backed by industrial synthesizers, before moving into a Gregorian chant. It then descends into a chorus where Gaga declares, "I can be good / I can be sex / I can be anything / I can be everything / Just touch me baby." This track from her 2011 album Born This Way blends synth-pop with techno, trance, post-disco, and industrial influences. Playing this song channels a powerful, assertive energy about taking control.
