42 Unforgettable Lady Gaga Chromatica Lyrics to Use as Photo Captions

Little Monsters have a big reason to celebrate, because today, May 29, 2025, marks the five-year anniversary of Lady Gaga's iconic album, Chromatica.

Her fifth studio album was a stark return to classic Gaga after the softer and more stripped-back approach of Joanne and A Star Is Born, embracing a '90s-inspired dance-pop and house music sounds. For this album, she curated a bold cyberpunk alias and made the most of orchestral instrumentation and pulsing electronic synth sounds, while featuring everyone from BLACKPINK and Ariana Grande to Elton John, to tell a story of the quest for joy and peace over 16 compelling tracks. To celebrate half a decade of Chromatica, we've gathered all of its best lyrics—and how to use them as photo captions—below.
