About Why Did You Do That?

"Why Did You Do That?" is a song recorded by American singer Lady Gaga for the 2018 film A Star Is Born and released on the soundtrack of the same name. It was written by Gaga with Diane Warren, Mark Nilan Jr., Nick Monson and Paul "DJWS" Blair, and produced by all but Warren. The song appears in the film during a sequence when Gaga's character, Ally, performs on Saturday Night Live, watched by her husband Jackson (played by co-star Bradley Cooper). Later Jackson berates Ally for selling out with the song's trite lyrics, but she defends it. "Why Did You Do That?" was written to evoke both a retro and a modern feel, and was recorded while Gaga was on her Joanne World Tour. The song is interspersed with the sound of a xylophone and a repetitive chorus and post-chorus. After its release, the track received a great deal of attention for its lyrics, which some critics and fans felt were a critique of pop music. The songwriters defended the track, saying it was specifically written to emphasize that Ally's career was on the rise as Jackson's was declining.

Why do you look so good in those jeans?
Why'd you come around me with an ass like that?
You're making all my thoughts obscene
This is not, not like me
Why you keep on texting me like that? (Damn)
Got other things I need my mind on, yeah
Other responsibilities
This is not, not like me

Why did you do that
Do that, do that, do that, do that to me?
Why did you do that
Do that, do that, do that, do that to me?
Why did you do that
Do that, do that, do that, do that to me?
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that?

Oh
Why did you do that?
Oh

Boy, could you please stop being so fine?
When I stare at you I wish I were blind
'Cause I begin to lose control
No I can't, can't let go
'Cause ever since I met you I've been praying on my knees
That you would always stay around, that you would never leave
But I'm the kind of girl that always needs to be free
Why did you do that to me?

Why did you do that
Do that, do that, do that, do that to me?
Why did you do that
Do that, do that, do that, do that to me?
Why did you do that
Do that, do that, do that, do that to me?
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that?

Oh, (why did you do that?)
Why did you do that?
Oh
Why did you do that?
Oh, (why did you do that?)
Why did you do that?
Oh (why did you do that?)

I can't stop talking about what you do to me
You keep keeping me from how I'm supposed to be
To be

Why did you do that
Do that, do that, do that, do that to me? (Do that to me)
Why did you do that
Do that, do that, do that, do that to me? (Why you do that?)
Why did you do that
Do that, do that, do that, do that to me? (Why?)
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that?

Why did you do that?
(Why did you do that?)
Why did you do that?
Why you do that to me?
(Why did you do that?)
Oh, why did you do that?
(Why did you do that?)
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that?
