Bloody Mary


"Bloody Mary" by Lady Gaga is an electropop track from her 2011 album Born This Way (Special Edition), co-written with Fernando Garibay and DJ White Shadow. The song blends synth-pop and trance with Gregorian chant elements, casting Gaga as biblical figure Mary Magdalene. For electric guitarists, its layered electronic textures and dark, driving atmosphere make it an interesting challenge to adapt, particularly in recreating its hypnotic, trance-influenced rhythmic feel and atmospheric tonal palette.

  • The song features Gregorian chant elements woven into an electropop and trance production framework — an unusual texture to recreate on guitar.
  • Despite the title referencing Queen Mary Tudor, the lyrics reframe the narrative through the perspective of Mary Magdalene.
  • "Bloody Mary" was co-produced by Lady Gaga and DJ White Shadow, with additional co-production from Fernando Garibay and Clinton Sparks.
