Background

The single "Alejandro" was not originally supposed to be released as the third single from the album "The Fame Monster". Instead, "Dance in the Dark" was thought to be the third single. However, after a quarrel between Lady Gaga and her label, "Alejandro" rose as the third single.

Lady Gaga announced the victory through her Twitter account "Alejandro is on the radio. Fuck it sounds so good, we did it little monsters."

Composition

Swedish influences
