About So Happy I Could Die

"So Happy I Could Die" is a song from American singer Lady Gaga, taken from her second major released and her third extended play, The Fame Monster (2009). It was written by herself, Nadir "RedOne" Khayat, and Nicolas "Space Cowboy" Dresti, with production helmed by RedOne. Inspired by Gaga's fear of what she described as the "Alcohol Monster", the song is about the influences of alcoholism, and also explores several sexual themes in its lyrics as well as liberalism. Musically, it is a Europop song with Auto-Tune effects. "So Happy I Could Die" received mostly positive reviews, with critics complimenting its sexual nature. The song charted in Hungary, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Performances for the song transpired during The Monster Ball Tour (2009–2011), during which Gaga wore a mechanically controlled moving dress while singing the song.

Eh-eh, eh-eh ye-ha, ye-ha
Eh-eh, eh-eh aha-aha
Eh-eh, eh-eh ye-ha, ye-ha
Eh-eh, eh-eh aha-aha

I love that lavender blond
The way she moves the way she walks
I touch myself can't get enough
And in the silence of the night
Through all the tears and all the lies
I touch myself and it's alright

Just give in don't give up baby
Open up your heart and your mind to me

Just know when that glass is empty
That the world is gonna bend

Happy in the club with a bottle of red wine
Stars in our eyes 'cause we're having a good time eh-eh eh-eh

So happy I could die be your best friend
Yeah I'll love you forever
Up in the clouds we'll be higher than ever eh-eh, eh-eh

So happy I could die and it's alright
Eh-eh, eh-eh ye-ha, ye-ha
Eh-eh, eh-eh aha-aha
Eh-eh, eh-eh ye-ha, ye-ha
Eh-eh, eh-eh aha-aha

I am as vain as I allow I do my hair
I gloss my eyes I touch myself all through the night
And when something falls out of place
I take my time I put it back
I touch myself 'til I'm on track

Just give in don't give up baby
Open up your heart and your mind to me

Just know when that glass is empty
That the world is gonna bend

Happy in the club with a bottle of red wine
Stars in our eyes 'cause we're having a good time

So happy I could die be your best friend
Yeah I'll love you forever
Up in the clouds we'll be higher than ever  eh-eh, eh-eh

So happy I could die and it's alright
So happy I could die and it's alright
So happy I could die and it's alright

Eh-eh, eh-eh ye-ha, ye-ha
Eh-eh, eh-eh aha-aha
Eh-eh, eh-eh ye-ha, ye-ha
Eh-eh, eh-eh aha-aha

Happy in the club with a bottle of red wine
Stars in our eyes 'cause we're having a good time

So happy I could die be your best friend
Yeah I'll love you forever
Up in the clouds we'll be higher than ever  eh-eh, eh-eh

So happy I could die and it's alright

Happy in the club with a bottle of red wine
Stars in our eyes 'cause we're having a good time

So happy I could die be your best friend
Yeah I'll love you forever
Up in the clouds we'll be higher than ever  eh-eh, eh-eh

So happy I could die and it's alright
