After signing with Interscope, Gaga began working on her debut album The Fame, which was released in 2008. It produced the global chart-topping singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face".[3] She collaborated with different producers, primarily RedOne, Fernando Garibay, Martin Kierszenbaum, and Rob Fusari. The album has influences of the 1980s pop music and discusses Gaga's love for fame while also dealing with subjects such as love, sexuality, money and drugs.[4][5] Initially intended to be a re-release of her first album, an EP titled The Fame Monster (2009) included eight newly recorded tracks. Its tracks include "Speechless", written solely by Gaga, as well as "Alejandro", "Telephone" and "Bad Romance". The EP explores the darker side of fame.[6]

Gaga's second full-length album, Born This Way, was released in 2011. She reunited with RedOne and Garibay, and sought new collaborators, including DJ Snake, DJ White Shadow, Jeppe Laursen, and Robert John "Mutt" Lange, this last one producing the country rock song "You and I" written solely by Gaga. The album's themes include sexuality, religion, freedom, feminism and individualism. Primarily influenced by synthpop and dance-pop, it incorporated musical genres which had not been previously explored by Gaga, such as electronic rock and techno. "Americano" and "Scheiße" included Spanish and faux-German lyrics, respectively.[7]

Gaga's third album Artpop, released in 2013, included the singles "Applause" and "Do What U Want". As executive producer, she enlisted longtime collaborators DJ White Shadow and RedOne, and for the first time Zedd and Madeon. Described as "a celebration and a poetic musical journey",[8] the album revolves around her personal views of fame, love, sex, feminism, self-empowerment, overcoming addiction, and reactions to media scrutiny.[9] In 2014, Gaga and Tony Bennett released a collaborative album titled Cheek to Cheek, which consists of jazz standards and swing classics from composers such as George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Duke Ellington and Irving Berlin. Her fifth studio album, Joanne (2016), which had Mark Ronson as the executive producer, is a more personal album, with family influences.[10] In 2020, she released Chromatica, a house music influenced album with lyrics that cover themes such as mental health, depression and finding love through hardship,[11] that features guest vocals from Ariana Grande on "Rain on Me", Blackpink on "Sour Candy", and Elton John on "Sine from Above".

In addition to her studio work, Gaga has recorded songs for film soundtracks, including "Fashion" from Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009), and "Til It Happens to You" from The Hunting Ground (2015). She and Bradley Cooper recorded the soundtrack for the movie A Star Is Born, released in 2018, which they composed with others collaborators. It contains elements of blues rock, country and pop.[12]
