In the 32^nd edition of After Dark (2022), we explore the naughty, risqué, & sexual vibes behind, 🎵 “Sexxx Dreams” by 🎙 Lady Gaga.

Theme & Lyrics ✍ 

“Last night / Damn, you were in my sex dreams.” Oh snap! Hmm, everyone has experienced these ‘sex dreams’ 🎙 Lady Gaga, but I’m not sure we always ‘share’ the contents like you! In the lustful 🎵 “Sexxx Dreams” from her 2013 album, 💿 ARTPOP, Lady Gaga is open about her fantasies.  In the centerpiece, the chorus, she continues singing, “(You were in my dreams) / Doing really nasty things /… Making love in my sex dreams.” Ooh wee, girl!

Lady Gaga is bisexual, so we get some LGBTQ+ flavor with “Sexxx Dreams” too – the spicier the better, baby! We know for sure the object of her affection is a girl, and the nameless girl is dating a man. The more BI the better!  That doesn’t stop Gaga, who sings on the chorus, “Heard your boyfriend was away for the weekend / Wanna meet at my place?” Naughty girl, Lady Gaga! Making things even more titillating, Gaga references that solo time if you catch my drift:  “When I lay in bed, I touch myself and think of you.” Holy shiitake mushrooms! Masturbation? Give her credit for admitting to self-pleasure – it wouldn’t be her first time either.  In the second verse, we get some clever lyrics, despite the raunch factor that is “Sexxx Dreams”: “We’re both convicted criminals of thought / Let’s white (By the one before) / Globe the bed.”

Final Thoughts 💭 

Interestingly, when ARTPOP arrived in 2013, I paid less attention to 🎵 “Sexxx Dreams” than I am currently.  Looking back, it’s an edgy, fun pop joint that finds Lady Gaga being transparent about her feelings.  Honestly, this slickly produced joint (Gaga and 🎛 DJ White Shadow) deserved more love!
