This album got me through high school. I was always the odd one out, but BTW helped me feel like I was worth something, despite what my peers thought of me
@@chloekral4771 yes me too. I always dressed weird and was made fun of by some but Born This Way came out and I started rocking my look more and became super popular
A legend song When i listening to hair i imagine mv with lights and rainbow flags and party and people dancing and being who they are and gay/straight couple making out And the rock part with some emo looks and moves This song means a lot to me she makes feel safe and not alone This song helped so many times and it's still doing it till now I have depression and anxiety and some bad psychological disease but this song has in deep of it all of hopes and good vibes and make you see the life with a better version
Post born this way...her album lacks hook chorus and catchy lyrics like this. Commenting post listening to rain on me premier. Born this way is the best album ever that i can sing to each and every song to, deluxe version included.
Me too... BTW for me it's the best album... the songs are so deep and so real, everything make sense for me. And always cried when I was listening, It seems that Gaga wrote this album for me. ARTPOP is good, but I like a lot BTW.
Amcia It's not a "flop"..It's just really messy..The Applause and Do What U Want era was epic.. When we started waiting for DWUW video to come ,the era was dead..It was a fine era..And I really loved the album and the videos..Soo it's ok for me
I cannot even thank Gaga enough for Born This Way. As a young teenager, just finding himself, this record came out at the perfect time. This era was just so perfect! I miss it so damn much!
+James Cawthorne I fucking loved the BTW era too. I can't wait for her new album. Also, this album came out at the perfect time for me too. I don't know where the fuck I would be now if it wasn't for Gaga.
+smexytwixz She has changed so much from 2011 (for the best) I guess, but I am just so nostalgic about her music, looks, outfits, statements etc. from this era. It was the true definition of a masterpiece.
Im a transgender woman and I used to hear this when I was 15, I had my hair short at that time because I had to be a boy and this song only make sense to me in my head because I see myself as this beautiful woman being free, now with 24 i think I’m and THAT WOMAN...part of that thanks to this album that gives me the strength I need it.
This song was huge when it was released as a promo single. It was played on radios and did much better then Gaga expected but they had to stop the hype to release Judas
This song. 😭 (cut to me in a hospital room last September , shaving my head because the chemo was taking my curls) now they’re growing back and my strength is returning 🧡#leukemiawarrior #imasfreeasmyhair.
Dillon Longoria the most underrated singles/ promotional singles from Gaga are .... Hair, marry the night, eh eh, do what you want, dope, dance in the dark, beautiful dirty rich ect.
There are a lot of underrated Gaga songs: hair, DWUW, brown eyes, speechless, dance in the dark, gypsy, dope, monster, marry the night, you and I, government hooker, sexxx dreams, swine, summer boy, boys boys boys ect.
She slays so much. She saved so many people from commiting suicide, mental health issues, depression (including me) etc. Gaga is like a cure to your all problems. She is such a Queen. She deserves everything in the world, literally I can't describe how much I love her. She helped me with her songs so many times like I can't even count it. SHE IS AN ICON AND SHE IS LEGENDARY!!!!
she's diabolical.. believe it or not she is n she's evil just like every other hollywood celebrity. ofc they gotta pretend they're good ppl so no one judges them bc that's the whole point to attract people n getting more famous but if only u knew how satanic this woman is u wouldn't even listen to her again. whatever, ppl never listen even if the truth it's being told in their own eyes.
I don't care what anyone says about her or this album, BTW is Gaga's best work in my opinion. I was in a really dark state of mind when it came out, I remember feeling so connected to a lot of the lyrics. Songs like Hair, BTW, Scheiße, Bad Kids, ect. they really spoke to me and comforted me when I felt down. It really helped me through the rest of my high school/teenage years, and I'll never forget it. Thank you, Gaga.
I was suffering from a mental disorder, Trichotillomania. For those who haven’t heard that, it’s a hair pulling disorder. It caused me trouble with my self, it ended me having a depression and anxiety. I got bullied and my parents didn’t understand my situation, because that disorder started when I was 9. My mom forced me to chop off my hair even I don’t want to. I put also a really deep ashamed to my self, since my parents didn’t support me and they hide me from who I am. Like, they put me into a situation just to pretend things in a normal way. Right now, I’m still having and fighting off that disorder over my self. But I heard this song, and it gives me a deep motivation, a feeling of freedom like I dance on my room with no feeling ashamed of myself, where supposed to be I heard this when I was young and still have the innocence within me.
This is so beautiful! Thank you for being brave another to tell your story! Who knows maybe someone with this disorder will also see this and know they are not alone!
Lol take a small step and realise that there was nothing wrong with you in the first place it’s the society lol stop blaming yourself for things. As you grow older slowly work towards the things you want. Just cuz bad things happened to us doesn’t mean we have to let it define us ❤️ hopefully truthfully I hope those things makes you into a better person by having more empathy for other ppl ❤️
When I first heard this song as a teenager not long after its release, I've held it very close to my heart. Why? This song was as if it was addressed to me and my peers my age personally. I grew up in Malaysia as a Chinese minority. My school was oppressive and so was my family. There were barely rooms to be myself and express myself physically, and the only thing that's left where my identity lies, is my hair. Schools in Malaysia forces you to cut it short as a male with no style and if caught, the teachers would cut your hair right in front of you. With no adult by your side to stand up for you, Lady Gaga did. Whenever I was caught by teachers with a longer than approved hair length, who would unapologetically snip them off, or my dad who would tell me I was selfish to want to be myself, I would mumble to myself and say, "I'm my hair...It's the glory that I bear. And I will never change it for anyone." And in the final days of my final high school years, I stood up for myself against teachers who want to lay a hand on my hair. I left with my hair untouched. Thank you Gaga. You gave me courage to stand up against oppression and fight for my right to express myself in a society that insists conformity and unquestionable obedience. My hair is my hair, and it represents my freedom.
I just graduated last year and I never allowed anyone to touch my hair as well and the teachers would always say a girl is not allowed to have an undercut...Malaysia still has a long way to go
Today my father told me that he has always known that I'm gay and he said "I love you even more because you are my son. No matter what, I still love you" thank you dad, i love you too 💖
i heard someone say that "marry the night" is like going to the dark side by marrying the dark, the devil and stuff but like, have they listened to the song? "im gonna marry the night, I WONT GIVE UP ON MY LIFE, IM A WARRIOR QUEEN, LIVE PASSIONATELY TONIGHT" now tell me, is marry the night and born this way (album) demonic and satanic?
This song helped me when I felt lonely... I had no friends at that time, because I was full of rage, and that scared the other kids. I was so alone... Nowadays that has changed, I have wonderful friends that love me for who I am, a boyfriend I love with all my heart, and still this is my favourite song. I owe you everything Gaga. Thank you
Awww this is honestly amazing! I am so happy all those wonderful things happened to you and that you have people in your life that love you and accept you
This song makes me feel so great about myself I don't care what people say about you Gaga!!! you're the queen, My queen, we can choose who will be our queen, and mine is you ♥
Hannah Harlow I have aspergers and am still disgusted with myself and have been for years. I’ve been listening to the BTW album since it came out. I don’t know how people are fixed by it? Still love BTW
"I just want to be free, I just want to be me And I want lots of friends that invite me to their parties Don't wanna change, and I don't wanna be ashamed I'm the spirit of my hair, it's all the glory that I bare." Love this. It's the ghost of a young Gaga crying in anguish. But, now, she is free as her hair and she has found her place and her people. Little Lady Gaga made it! This is a great song of heartfelt happiness from overcoming pain and loneliness. Very inspirational.
I'm never gonna forget how free and liberated I felt when I first heard this song. it was so unreal to me that finally my feeling were put into a gorgeous melody. this song and the entire Born this way album got me through some of the hardest times of my life of not being accepted by parents. thank you Gaga
girl pete burns is trans and he is VERY talented...dont let anyone prove you wrong...we people on lgbt community we are the same as anyone else just doing different stuff on our bed...its not a big deal
This song has a special place in my heart. As much as I am obsessed with Pokerface, Paparazzi, GUY, John Wayne and Sine From Above, just the message of this song. It saved me.
This song has truly kept me alive. I'm transgender and i've been in the process for about a year. I think about killing myself all the time and not having to endure the pain any longer almost everyday. But this song, this song allows me to feel like she understands. The pain and struggle. I am not a freak and i just wanna be myself and love who i am. I know some people have their opinions on this song, but for me, it's kept me alive and positive to push through and to never demean myself. I am my Hair :D
Yeah, stay strong. And try not to think of all the jerks who will make you feel like a freak. You are who you are and you should not be ashamed of that. Be proud of yourself, and screw them all.
I have a distinctive memory of being in the car, my mum driving me to school and crying in the back seat listening to this song. Headphones in between classes, listening to BTW. She got me through man.
This is why I started to love her music, it really brings into deep thoughts, and I hope that someday in the future, she'll make another album like Born This Way.
This song always makes me cry. I've been dyeing my hair since I was an adolescent. My hair was my self exploration and my way to say "this is who I am, and it's gorgeous, I know." Now, as an adult, I'm still the same. 15 years of hair dye and I'm still at it. Recently all my art and passion were taken from me and destroyed, so tomorrow I'm adding rainbow streaks in my silver hair. "I just wanna be myself and I want you to know, I AM MY HAIR." I'll always have Mother Monster to pick me up when I can't even crawl off the bathroom floor.
When I was in middle school I wasn't allowed to have long hair due to their stupid rules, due to that my mother used to cut my hair while I was asleep, it was a nightmare, I would cry so much. I always wanted to be a woman and now I listen to this song again and I remember how understood and empowered I would feel when I listened to it. It represents such an important song of my life. ❤ Thanks Gaga.
well...lots of people including me for the same reason as jamie....but jamey didnt had a chance (man i want to the homophobic people that still teassing jamie and his family still after his death to be at my hands)....bullying is for losers....rip jamie
Whenever I'm dressed cool, my parents put up a fight And if I'm hot shot, mom will cut my hair at night And in the morning, I'm short of my identity I scream Mom and Dad: "Why can't I be who I wanna be?" To be I just wanna be myself And I want you to love me for who I am I just wanna be myself And I want you to know I am my hair I've had enough, this is my prayer That I'll die living just as free as my hair I've had enough, this is my prayer That I'll die living just as free as my hair I've had enough, I'm not a freak I just keep fighting to stay cool on these streets I've had enough, enough, enough And this is my prayer, I swear I'm as free as my hair I'm as free as my hair I am my hair I am my hair Free as my hair Free as my hair Sometimes I want some raccoon or red highlights Just because I want my friends to think I'm dynamite And on Friday, Rock City High School dance I've got my bangs to hide that I don't stand a chance A chance I just wanna be myself And I want you to love me for who I am I just wanna be myself And I want you to know I am my hair I've had enough, this is my prayer That I'll die living just as free as my hair I've had enough, this is my prayer That I'll die living just as free as my hair I've had enough, I'm not a freak I just keep fighting to stay cool on these streets I've had enough, enough, enough And this is my prayer, I swear I'm as free as my hair I'm as free as my hair I am my hair I am my hair Free as my hair Free as my hair I just wanna be free, I just wanna be me And I want lots of friends that invite me to their parties Don't wanna change, and I don't wanna be ashamed I'm the spirit of my hair, it's all the glory that I bear I'm my hair, I am my hair I'm my hair, I am my hair I am my hair, I am my hair I am my hair (all the glory that I bear) I'm my hair, I am my hair It's all the glory that I bear I'm my hair, I am my hair I'm my hair, yeah (all the glory that I bear) I'm my hair, yeah (all the glory that I bear) I'm my hair, yeah (all the glory that I bear) My hair, yeah I've had enough, this is my prayer That I'll die living just as free as my hair I've had enough, this is my prayer That I'll die living just as free as my hair I've had enough, I'm not a freak I just keep fighting to stay cool on these streets I've had enough, enough, enough And this is my prayer, I swear I'm as free as my hair I'm as free as my hair (this is my prayer) I am my hair I am my hair Ooh, I'm my hair, I'm my hair
as a gay person im having a hard time admitting to my parents, friends, and to myself that i am different and i hate myself for that, I even blame it to God that I believed in... But then i heard of this song and all i can say that it describes how i feel on myself on everyday life. Thank you Lady Gaga for making this music, even though i didnt even confessed til now, yet it is something I can hold onto. Love you xoxo
just have faith....i had when i came out and it turns out good...if youre a man go to your mom 1st....if girl...to dad....just have faith.....good luck
This song gives me hope. Hope that one day, this depression will leave me. Hope that one day, I will love myself. Hope that one day people will hear my voice. Hope that one day, I'll be finally happy.
It's funny how back in 2011 a lot of people hated that the Born This Way era was "dark" yet two years later being grunge/dark became hip, cool etc. it became a trend to have pastel hair *cough* Katy Perry *Cough* and dark lipstick. Beyonce's 2013 image is a prime example of how big that trend became. Gaga is always two years ahead with what she does.
+KK KingKoala I was just thinking that. I have been working on my own silver hair for months, and I'm happy because at least, for me, it's an emotional tie to Gaga.
2021 and i'm back here bc i want to celebrate myself and the fact the after many years i finally have the opportunity to let my hair grow as long as i want to, after spend all my childhood/youthood under the command of my parents, who have always told me that a man should wear his hair short. Now i'm 19 and this little change is a big win for me, hopefully in a soon future i would like to dye it.
I'm sad this wasn't more successful, in my opinion this is like top 5 Gaga's best song ever. Very simple and straightforward, and just the right amount of encouragement we all need.
+Nađa Spahalić yea but it was at #12 for one week and then dropped out altogether. I hopes this was released as a proper single and be more well known and maybe reach top 5 or something. But at least this is pretty adored I guess
Absolutely the most meaningful song to me when I was in middle school, and still hits to this day. So many people including me feel this was written for them, and that's so beautiful and powerful.
This song is more powerful than lots of albums out there these days. This era was simply the best. The deepest, the most emotional, the most true delivery from gaga... Reaches our inner, hidden selves that we usually don't visit because it hurts when we do. But it, actually, became freedom instead, thanks to gaga. Well, I'm lucky I lived this.
i don't mean to sound cheesy but anyway, this is honestly the greatest gaga song of all time in my opinion. it is empowering both lyrically and musically and i applaud gaga for making an anthem powerful enough to actually help people with their everyday lives. i never thought a song could mean so much to me until i listened to this. good job, lady.
There's something about these early Gaga noughties songs that is fresh af. I can't describe it actually, it is a peculiar novelty that shines through in her early work. It's addictive, it's like a a fruity, and colorful cider. It's weird but there doesn't seem to be any darkness in the songs. Yet some how you sense it is still there in the background which brings light and shade to the song. For some reason it just works for me, and I don't think I'll ever be able to put my finger on it. Pure creativity flows through every song, but each song retains its pop and dance vibe that is always what makes me come back for more. You can't help but allow the beat and electric vibes rock you. One day I hope music will reach this kind of bubblegum type pop. Because it is something that is ingrained deep within, it attaches to memories that I had of this era, and somehow this bittersweet nostalgia flows and generates a warm and loving feeling inside. I don't think I'll ever not like her songs.
This is one of the addicting songs I have ever heard. An upbeat song but has a lot of emotion. This song tells someone who wanted to be free and to be accepted. Just recently found this song and I can say this is one of my favourites.
This is Gaga. She wrote this song when she was 15. Talk about a good songwriter and singer
how do u know that? like, in what interview did she say that? I just want to know, I'm not doubting you or anything. :)
She said she felt like she wrote this when she was 15, bcausee she couldn't be who she wanted to be, she wanted to be her hair.
duns Okay, but when/where did she say that?
I think it was the Inside the outside interview
+MMonster TheL. She said it in the thanksgiving special when she sung hair.
I remember crying to this song at night because of suicidal thoughts. She saved so many of us with this album
This album got me through high school. I was always the odd one out, but BTW helped me feel like I was worth something, despite what my peers thought of me
@@chloekral4771 same here
You are not alone. Your feelings are valid. Lady Gaga is a warrior queen for mental health. I hope that all is well. You deserve love and life.
@@chloekral4771 OMG SAME 😭
@@chloekral4771 yes me too. I always dressed weird and was made fun of by some but Born This Way came out and I started rocking my look more and became super popular
Hair is basically Born This Way's forgotten twin sister
i would pretty much agree to this! self-expression anthems!
never forgotten by true gaga fans.
the Edge of glory as well

You are right, never thought bout that
I ugly cried when she sang this in the concert.
WHO DID NOT ?
Sorry for the ignorance, Which concert?
came here after the Hair perf in Stockholm

I bet u looked pretty
Lady gaga has no idea how many lives she saved .
true.
True
Me, for example
I'm one of those lives tbh.

*5 years later..
I still think that this song deserves a music video.
Yeah. In my opnion, Hair is the second best music o gaga short carreer. I love this song soooo much. And of course was produced by RedOne
what is first?
YEEEES !!!!
vjygcjbvc bjvb.e bxcfkzjzj. c
MICHAEL JACKS0N you Michael Jackson because died 7years ago
9 years later and still need an official video for this anthem.
I think all the Born This Way album need a video
A legend song
When i listening to hair i imagine mv with lights and rainbow flags and party and people dancing and being who they are and gay/straight couple making out
And the rock part with some emo looks and moves
This song means a lot to me she makes feel safe and not alone
This song helped so many times and it's still doing it till now
I have depression and anxiety and some bad psychological disease but this song has in deep of it all of hopes and good vibes and make you see the life with a better version
And Bloody Mary too
Back to basics before Chromatica era, who else?
Feels like “Hair” is underrated musical gem when you’re in 2020
I honeslty feel Chromatica is gonna be this album and ARTPOP mixed together in a 90's blender.

I love artpop era
All about The Fame Monster
I think that ARTPOP is a flop. When she released ''Applause'' I was so exited about the album... Now ARTPOP is a mess. Its just my opinion.

This song is an instant classic. This will be one of those pieces that people will perform for generations in different styles and renditions.

Lady Gaga: *makes a whole album about loving yourself no matter what*
The preists: omg... The devil..
The preists is the devil . That's it
@@jhonariesgaril8555 you're right 👍🏻
i heard someone say that "marry the night" is like going to the dark side by marrying the dark, the devil and stuff but like, have they listened to the song? "im gonna marry the night, I WONT GIVE UP ON MY LIFE, IM A WARRIOR QUEEN, LIVE PASSIONATELY TONIGHT" now tell me, is marry the night and born this way (album) demonic and satanic?
What do priests have to do with this? It was the Muslims who are talking more s***
At least where I am ☹️☹️
This is pure art. How did this song not win a grammy?
grammy doesn’t deserve it.
Because it's a promotional single
in my opinion, this is her best song. it has so much meaning and it had me crying so hard🥺
Agreed 👍👍
You're girlypop
I'm obsessed with lady gaga

This song helped me when I felt lonely... I had no friends at that time, because I was full of rage, and that scared the other kids. I was so alone...
Nowadays that has changed, I have wonderful friends that love me for who I am, a boyfriend I love with all my heart, and still this is my favourite song.
I owe you everything Gaga. Thank you
aww that was so sweet. Gaga was our lifting angel and still is. :)
Awww this is honestly amazing! I am so happy all those wonderful things happened to you and that you have people in your life that love you and accept you
❤️
I love you 💋❤🙏🏻🌈

This song makes me feel so great about myself
I don't care what people say about you Gaga!!!
you're the queen, My queen, we can choose who will be our queen,

Still love it like the first time.
One of the best gaga's songs
As a 20 year old autistic girl, I finally found a song that makes me proud of who I am. Thank you Gaga
lol I'm 21 now and I still love this song
SUPPORT U
You are just like any of us; amazing just the way you are. I bet you are amazing!
you have a beautiful music taste.
Hannah Harlow I have aspergers and am still disgusted with myself and have been for years. I’ve been listening to the BTW album since it came out. I don’t know how people are fixed by it? Still love BTW
"I just want to be free, I just want to be me
And I want lots of friends that invite me to their parties
Don't wanna change, and I don't wanna be ashamed
I'm the spirit of my hair, it's all the glory that I bare."
Love this. It's the ghost of a young Gaga crying in anguish. But, now, she is free as her hair and she has found her place and her people. Little Lady Gaga made it!
This is a great song of heartfelt happiness from overcoming pain and loneliness. Very inspirational.
This album really did save a lot of us LGBTQ+ people
She has no idea how many lives she has saved, including mine.
Why only lgbt people? XD
@Steven Roza Don't speak on matters you know nothing about.
Lady Gaga helped me accept my sexuality, when nobody else would.
it did not only saved lgbtq+ people, it saved most people's lives.
@Steven Roza "man up" on Gaga video? Honey, you are LOST 😩
I'm never gonna forget how free and liberated I felt when I first heard this song. it was so unreal to me that finally my feeling were put into a gorgeous melody. this song and the entire Born this way album got me through some of the hardest times of my life of not being accepted by parents.
thank you Gaga
It did for me too! This song was my anthem at 18! It continues to be 💓🦄
Releasing Hair not as a single was a big mistake, its among her 5 best songs
better nerf irelia.
No it was not a mistake. Hair wasn't suitable to be a single. ScheiBe was.
MapleStory012 ScheiBe was really messy-sounding.Hair is more ear-friendly.
Jehh173 ScheiBe isn't messy... it's good. Hair's instrument is really loud it almost overpowered the vocal, can't really her voice in Hair.
That's how most songs are nowadays, but personally she should've done speechless as a single.
This song gave me so much inner strength at the time.
as time passes, The Fame & Born This Way get better & better, proving how powerful they were at the time. We love you Gaga. Thank you for everything.

This song has a special place in my heart. As much as I am obsessed with Pokerface, Paparazzi, GUY, John Wayne and Sine From Above, just the message of this song. It saved me.
"I just wanna be myself and I want you to love me for who I am" YES! Love that lyric.
this is gonna be 10 years old soon. I'm gonna cry
found this now... remember listening to it in 2011 i'm crying literally saved my life
@@ariolagrenade4062 yes 😭 same
omg 😭
This is anthem for me. Such an underrated song gosh
This song has truly kept me alive. I'm transgender and i've been in the process for about a year. I think about killing myself all the time and not having to endure the pain any longer almost everyday. But this song, this song allows me to feel like she understands. The pain and struggle. I am not a freak and i just wanna be myself and love who i am. I know some people have their opinions on this song, but for me, it's kept me alive and positive to push through and to never demean myself. I am my Hair :D
What an amazing comment, I can totally relate. Just know you are who you are no matter what anyone thinks!
Stay strong, Jasmine!
Yeah, stay strong. And try not to think of all the jerks who will make you feel like a freak. You are who you are and you should not be ashamed of that. Be proud of yourself, and screw them all.
I respect you guys so fucking much❤️ Keep being yourself because thats the only important thing!!!!
Jasmine Huete You are who you are! You were born to be brave. Show the world who you are
I have a distinctive memory of being in the car, my mum driving me to school and crying in the back seat listening to this song. Headphones in between classes, listening to BTW. She got me through man.
This album saved a lot of lives, thanks for this beautiful angel, the one & only Lady Gaga
still waiting on a music video five years later gaga!!

the best music video called hair rip jamey rodemeyer if you want to cry...search it on youtube

This is why I started to love her music, it really brings into deep thoughts, and I hope that someday in the future, she'll make another album like Born This Way.
***** Agreed
This song gives me strength. LOVE YOU GAGA
I meni daje snagu!....Predivna je GAGA!
Eargasmic from start to finish. The lady is an artistic genius.
I grew up with abnormal hair growth that got me bullied for over 16 years, this song means so much to me
Now, years later, im older and love my body just the way it is!!! took me years! SELFLOVE!
This song always makes me cry. I've been dyeing my hair since I was an adolescent. My hair was my self exploration and my way to say "this is who I am, and it's gorgeous, I know." Now, as an adult, I'm still the same. 15 years of hair dye and I'm still at it. Recently all my art and passion were taken from me and destroyed, so tomorrow I'm adding rainbow streaks in my silver hair. "I just wanna be myself and I want you to know, I AM MY HAIR." I'll always have Mother Monster to pick me up when I can't even crawl off the bathroom floor.

This was my mums favourite song she recently passed awat😭😭

I’m so sorry for your loss♥️
When I was in middle school I wasn't allowed to have long hair due to their stupid rules, due to that my mother used to cut my hair while I was asleep, it was a nightmare, I would cry so much. I always wanted to be a woman and now I listen to this song again and I remember how understood and empowered I would feel when I listened to it. It represents such an important song of my life. ❤ Thanks Gaga.
This song saved me from commit suicide and healed my heart and depression I LOVE YOU GAGA
🙏
Always stay strong
well...lots of people including me for the same reason as jamie....but jamey didnt had a chance (man i want to the homophobic people that still teassing jamie and his family still after his death to be at my hands)....bullying is for losers....rip jamie

she will never need a comeback! just saying
@@jethalal3576 bcz she never left uncle ji.
Whenever I'm dressed cool, my parents put up a fight
And if I'm hot shot, mom will cut my hair at night
And in the morning, I'm short of my identity
I scream Mom and Dad:
"Why can't I be who I wanna be?"
To be
I just wanna be myself
And I want you to love me for who I am
I just wanna be myself
And I want you to know I am my hair
I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die living just as free as my hair
I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die living just as free as my hair
I've had enough, I'm not a freak
I just keep fighting to stay cool on these streets
I've had enough, enough, enough
And this is my prayer, I swear
I'm as free as my hair
I'm as free as my hair
I am my hair
I am my hair
Free as my hair
Free as my hair
Sometimes I want some raccoon or red highlights
Just because I want my friends to think I'm dynamite
And on Friday, Rock City High School dance
I've got my bangs to hide that I don't stand a chance
A chance
I just wanna be myself
And I want you to love me for who I am
I just wanna be myself
And I want you to know I am my hair
I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die living just as free as my hair
I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die living just as free as my hair
I've had enough, I'm not a freak
I just keep fighting to stay cool on these streets
I've had enough, enough, enough
And this is my prayer, I swear
I'm as free as my hair
I'm as free as my hair
I am my hair
I am my hair
Free as my hair
Free as my hair
I just wanna be free, I just wanna be me
And I want lots of friends that invite me to their parties
Don't wanna change, and I don't wanna be ashamed
I'm the spirit of my hair, it's all the glory that I bear
I'm my hair, I am my hair
I'm my hair, I am my hair
I am my hair, I am my hair

as a gay person im having a hard time admitting to my parents, friends, and to myself that i am different and i hate myself for that, I even blame it to God that I believed in... But then i heard of this song and all i can say that it describes how i feel on myself on everyday life. Thank you Lady Gaga for making this music, even though i didnt even confessed til now, yet it is something I can hold onto. Love you xoxo
just have faith....i had when i came out and it turns out good...if youre a man go to your mom 1st....if girl...to dad....just have faith.....good luck

It's funny how back in 2011 a lot of people hated that the Born This Way era was "dark" yet two years later being grunge/dark became hip, cool etc. it became a trend to have pastel hair *cough* Katy Perry *Cough* and dark lipstick. Beyonce's 2013 image is a prime example of how big that trend became. Gaga is always two years ahead with what she does.
+Teera Xo Gaga in 2013 had white/gray wigs now granny hair is a trend, not surprised :)
+KK KingKoala I was just thinking that. I have been working on my own silver hair for months, and I'm happy because at least, for me, it's an emotional tie to Gaga.
+Bear Butts you'll laugh at half of the trends gaga started
Oh god, I know. And no one really acknowledges it.
Gaga is changing the Music with every Album 👌

2021 and i'm back here bc i want to celebrate myself and the fact the after many years i finally have the opportunity to let my hair grow as long as i want to, after spend all my childhood/youthood under the command of my parents, who have always told me that a man should wear his hair short. Now i'm 19 and this little change is a big win for me, hopefully in a soon future i would like to dye it.

+Gregory Wilson It was #12 on BH100, pretty successful.
+Nađa Spahalić yea but it was at #12 for one week and then dropped out altogether. I hopes this was released as a proper single and be more well known and maybe reach top 5 or something. But at least this is pretty adored I guess

There is something in those last 45 seconds that *ALWAYS GETS YOU EMOTIONAL*

COVID19 SURVIVOR - 2020, and I’m still listening to this masterpiece 💕💜⚔️
Absolutely the most meaningful song to me when I was in middle school, and still hits to this day. So many people including me feel this was written for them, and that's so beautiful and powerful.
This song is more powerful than lots of albums out there these days. This era was simply the best. The deepest, the most emotional, the most true delivery from gaga... Reaches our inner, hidden selves that we usually don't visit because it hurts when we do. But it, actually, became freedom instead, thanks to gaga. Well, I'm lucky I lived this.
i don't mean to sound cheesy but anyway, this is honestly the greatest gaga song of all time in my opinion. it is empowering both lyrically and musically and i applaud gaga for making an anthem powerful enough to actually help people with their everyday lives. i never thought a song could mean so much to me until i listened to this. good job, lady.
My absolute favorite era of Gaga
There's something about these early Gaga noughties songs that is fresh af. I can't describe it actually, it is a peculiar novelty that shines through in her early work. It's addictive, it's like a a fruity, and colorful cider. It's weird but there doesn't seem to be any darkness in the songs. Yet some how you sense it is still there in the background which brings light and shade to the song. For some reason it just works for me, and I don't think I'll ever be able to put my finger on it. Pure creativity flows through every song, but each song retains its pop and dance vibe that is always what makes me come back for more. You can't help but allow the beat and electric vibes rock you. One day I hope music will reach this kind of bubblegum type pop. Because it is something that is ingrained deep within, it attaches to memories that I had of this era, and somehow this bittersweet nostalgia flows and generates a warm and loving feeling inside. I don't think I'll ever not like her songs.
Perfect comment
Chromatica can never compare
beautiful comment
this song and gaga saved my life.. i love you!
The older I get, the more I love her. She is truly brave.
The first pop song that made me cry 🤧I am not me without Gaga.
This is one of the addicting songs I have ever heard. An upbeat song but has a lot of emotion. This song tells someone who wanted to be free and to be accepted. Just recently found this song and I can say this is one of my favourites.
