Thematically, the Chromatica album is about the curative power of dancing to music during hard times. The record is split into three segments, each beginning with a string instrumental: Chromatica I, Chromatica II, and Chromatica III. Lady Gaga told Apple Music that Chromatica I symbolizes the beginning of her journey to healing. "It goes right into this grave string arrangement, where you feel this pending doom that is what happens if I face all the things that scare me," she explained. "That string arrangement is setting the stage for a more cinematic experience with this world that is how I make sense of things."
The title is a variation of the word "chromatic," a musical term referring to a scale where every note is played. Gaga described "Chromatica" as a location in her mind where all sounds and colors mix.
The track plays at the beginning of Gaga's "Stupid Love" video and the planet in the clip is named Chromatica.
