Lyrics
I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong To crash the critic saying, "Is it right or is it wrong?" If only fame had an I.V, baby could I bear? Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here
I live for the applause, applause, applause I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause, live for the- Way that you cheer and scream for me The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights out) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud) Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights out) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
I've overheard your theory, "Nostalgia's for geeks" I guess sir, if you say so, some of us just like to read One second I'm a Koons fan, suddenly the Koons is me Pop culture was in art, now art's in pop culture, in me
I live for the applause, applause, applause I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause, live for the- Way that you cheer and scream for me The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights out) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud) Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights out) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
Woo, touch, touch Woo, touch, touch now Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh
I live for the applause, applause, applause I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause, live for the- Way that you cheer and scream for me The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights out) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud) Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights out) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
(A-R-T-P-O-P)

About
Applause is a song by American recording artist Lady Gaga, from her upcoming third studio album, Artpop (2013). Written and produced by Lady Gaga and DJ White Shadow, the song was released on August 12, 2013, by Interscope Records as the album's lead single. Originally intended for a release through mainstream and rhythmic airplay on August 19, 2013, it was rush-released a week earlier after two snippets of the song were leaked online on August 10. Details of the song were revealed throughout 2013 as Gaga tweeted its lyrics in early 2013. A mix of electropop and Eurodance evocative of Gaga's first studio album The Fame, the song deals with how she is dependent on her fans' adoration and her vocals on the track have been compared by music critics to those of Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics and David Bowie. The song received generally positive reviews. Applause failed to debut in the Hot 100, but charted at number six in its second week, thus making it her 12th top-ten single in the United States. The single peaked at number one in Spain and within the top ten in over 10 other countries.
