Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Fun Tonight. By Songfacts®.

This contemplative track finds Lady Gaga pouring her heart out about her struggles with depression. She recounts the contradiction between her craving for life in the public eye and her private battles with mental illness. You love the paparazzi, love the fame Even though you know it causes me pain I feel like I'm in a prison hell Stick my hands through the steel bars and yell Gaga told Beats 1's Zane Lowe "Fun Night" means so much to her she gets "choked up" whenever she listens to it.

Gaga wrote the song with producers Rami Yacoub, Burns and BloodPop. The buoyant house-pop production contrasts with the downbeat lyrics. Said the "Poker Face" singer: "I can't tell you how many nights that people who really loved me, trying to get me to smile, or laugh or be optimistic, and I just had no ability to be happy, it just wasn't there. But then I would write this music and I would listen back and I'd go, 'Why is that so fun? Why is that so happy?'"

Rami Yacoub, Burns and BloodPop's other productions on Chromatica include "Rain On Me" and "Sour Candy."
