"Marry the Night"
Song

"Marry the Night" is a song by American recording artist Lady Gaga. It was released as the fifth single from her second studio album, Born This Way (2011). The song was written and produced by Lady Gaga and Fernando Garibay, and was recorded on the tour bus during The Monster Ball Tour with Garibay. Revealed in February 2011, the song was inspired by the energy of Gaga's previous song "Dance in the Dark" and the love for her hometown, New York City. The song was released for promotion on Farmville, six days before the release of Born This Way.

"Marry the Night" is a dance-pop song influenced by house and electropop. The song features electronic church bells, a driving electro organ sound and a funk-rock influenced breakdown. The lyrics are about Gaga's love of the night and partying, while serving as a homage to her hometown. The song received mostly positive reviews from critics. Reviewers also found influences of Italian disco music producer Giorgio Moroder and American rock musician Bruce Springsteen in the song. After the release of Born This Way, "Marry the Night" charted in some nations due to digital sales from the parent album. The song debuted at 79 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and entered the Canadian Hot 100 at 91. It also charted in the Walloon region of Belgium, South Korea and the United Kingdom.

Background and inspiration

"It's like Whitney, but imagine if Bruce Springsteen had a baby with Whitney Houston — that's what it is", she said. "And that was it! We made a baby. Finally. After all that fornication, miserably long and tedious, Fernando and I finally conceived." [1]

—Lady Gaga talking about "Marry the Night" to MTV News

"Marry the Night" was written by Lady Gaga and Fernando Garibay while on the road for The Monster Ball Tour, and was produced by both. It was first mentioned by Gaga as a track from her album, Born This Way, Ryan Seacrest's radio show, where she described it as one of her favorite songs from the album.[2] Gaga and Garibay had worked previously on the song "Dance in the Dark" (2009), from Gaga's previous release, The Fame Monster. Before starting work on "Marry the Night", Gaga listened to "Dance in the Dark" and decided she wanted to top that song's energy with her new collaboration with Garibay. "I remember being backstage and hearing the concert start, so I go out there and hear 'Dance in the Dark' open up the whole concert, and I wanted to outdo that feeling. I wanted to outdo that moment that opens up the show. I'm just that way."[1]

Wanting to have a new style of music, Gaga made it clear she did not want the song to sound anything like her previous work. She wanted to write a song that could define where she was with Born This Way and her life.[1] In an interview with NME, Gaga explained that the main inspiration behind the song was singer Whitney Houston and also added: "This song is about me going back to New York. I wrote this about the courage it took for me to say 'I hate Hollywood, I just wanna live in Brooklyn and make music'".[3]

Release

Fernando Garibay was involved with the recording and production of the song.

"Marry the Night" was initially going to be the lead single from Born This Way, but was cancelled in favor of the title track.[4] "Marry the Night" was then supposed to be the third single, but was cancelled yet again, this time in favor of "The Edge of Glory".[5] Gaga first premiered "Marry the Night" on the HBO Monster Ball Special, which aired on May 7, 2011. While backstage, she sang a cappella: "I'm gonna marry the night/ I won't give up on my life/ I'm a warrior queen/ Live passionately tonight."[6] During the promotional appearances for Born This Way, Gaga released "Marry the Night" to the online game Farmville on May 17, 2011. The song was released on Gagaville, a subdivision of Farmville that Gaga helped design with game promotion company Zynga.[7] Four months since the release of Born This Way, "Marry the Night" was confirmed as the fifth single off the album by Gaga herself.[8]. Interscope Records, Gaga's label, stated that while "Marry the Night" is sure to be released as the fifth single internationally, they are still undecided which song will serve in its place in the US.[9] "Marry the Night" officially impacted Australian radio on October 17, 2011.[10] Gaga confirmed the single's UK release for November 21, 2011, and will include remixes.[11] The date was pushed back to December 4, 2011, however.[12] Gaga's label later decided to release "Marry the Night" in the United States as well; it will be added to the playlists of rhythmic[13] and mainstream music radio[14] on November 15, 2011.

On October 17, 2011, Gaga revealed the official artwork for "Marry the Night" via TwitPic citing the lyrics from the bridge of the song, "New York Is Not Just A Tan That You'll Never Lose".[15][16] Before tweeting the artwork, she wrote: "This is my favorite song on the album. Are you ready [producer] @FERNANDOGARIBAY? This one is our baby."[16] An hour later, she wrote "Do you want the #MARRY THE NIGHT SINGLE COVER tonight?" and added "If monsters make MARRY THE NIGHT SINGLE COVER the number one trending topic I will release it tonight. Early. SORRY INTERSCOPE! I LOVE THEM!".[16][17] The artwork shows her sitting atop a rain-soaked car while another vehicle burns in the background.[15][18] She is wearing a pair of over-the-knee leather boots, a sculpted top and shorts while shaking her blond hair.[16][18] AOL's Contessa Gayles described the artwork as a "mysterious night-crawler."[19]

Recording and composition

As Gaga performed on The Monster Ball Tour, Garibay started working on the music of the song. After the show was over, Gaga came back to her studio bus and asked him about the progress. Garibay then explained that he had concocted a different kind of music for the song, and played the church-bell inspired music to Gaga. After first hearing it, the singer said that she started to cry, noticing the vastness of the music, and she started writing the lyrics for "Marry the Night".[1] "Marry the Night" was originally recorded on the Bus Studio in 2010, but was later mixed at The Mix Room in Burbank, California by Dave Russell, assisted by Paul Pavao.[20] Gaga described the song as a "massive, gas-station, disco record", and she recorded it immediately after completing the lyrics.[1][4] According to Garibay, Gaga meditated for a few minutes and then asked him to hand over a recording microphone to her, completing the process within an hour.[3]

"Marry the Night" is a dance-pop song with house and urban pop influences.[21] The song starts out with electronic church bells and Gaga softly singing "I'm gonna marry the night/I won't give up on my life/I'm a warrior queen/Live passionately tonight."[1][21] Soon the beat changes into a dance one, accompanied with techno beats, handclaps and funk music, and moves to the chorus, where Gaga stutters the line "Ma-ma-ma-marry/Ma-ma-ma-marry/Ma-ma-ma-marry the night".[22][23] It was compared by Tim Jonze from The Guardian to the Eurodance song, "It's My Life" by Dr Alban,[24] while Nicola James from MTV compared the chorus with Jennifer Lopez's 1999 single "Waiting for Tonight.[25]

The chorus is followed by a funk-rock influenced breakdown, where Gaga sings the line: "Nothing's too cool/To take me from you/New York is not just a tan that you'll never lose."[23][26] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, "Marry the Night" was written in the time signature of common time, with a slow tempo of 64 beats per minute.[21] It is composed in the key of C Major with Gaga's vocal range spanning from G3 to E5. It follows a basic sequence of Am–Dm/A–F/A–G as its chord progression.[21] The church bells in the song were meant to draw parallels betweens Gaga's fans ("Little Monsters") and members of a religion or a cult.[1] The lyrics are about partying and wreaking havoc during the night, and serves as a homage to the New York City downtown music scene.[27] Evan Sawdey from PopMatters described the lyrics as a "let's take the night' rallying cry."[28]

Critical reception

"Marry the Night" has received positive reviews from critics. Stephen Erlewine of Allmusic gave the song a positive review, saying it "glistens with a neon pulse".[29] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine named "Marry the Night" a stand-out track on the album and called it "a worthy successor to 'Dance in the Dark'".[30] BBC Music's Mark Savage called "Marry the Night" as perfect as "a straightforward fist-pumping entry into a colossus can be."[31] Christian Blauvelt of Entertainment Weekly compared the song with the work of Italian record producer Giorgio Moroder.[32] Caryn Ganz of Spin was impressed with the track, calling it a "four-on-the-floor banger."[33] Tim Jonze of The Guardian compared the chorus of the song "It's My Life" by Dr Alban and felt that it was easily forgotten compared to some of the bigger dance songs on the album.[24] Rolling Stone's was impressed with the fact that "Marry the Night" just seemed to get "bigger, and bigger" to her, while listing pop and glam metal and artists like Pat Benatar, Bonnie Tyler and Bon Jovi as its influences.[26] According to Kitty Empire of The Observer, "'Marry the Night', is a blowsy carpe diem affair which draws on hi-NRG club-pop for its modus operandi."[34]

Evan Sawdey from PopMatters gave the song a negative review, saying "'Marry the Night' very much wants to be top-notch Justice knockoff, but by adding a bridge of upbeat platitudes and an utterly pointless instrumental section after the 3:30 mark, she ultimately winds up weakening the power of her 'let’s take the night' rallying cry".[28] Kerri Mason from Billboard found influences of gothic rock in it, but went on to call it an "unapologetic disco-powered pop" that could have been a production number on Gaga's debut album, The Fame (2008).[35] Neil McCormick from The Daily Telegraph gave an analogy with rock musician "Meat Loaf going to the disco", while describing the song.[22] NME's Dan Martin felt that the song, although impressive, was conservative as the opening song of Born This Way. He further found similarities to the work of Moroder and influences of Bruce Springsteen's 1975 single, "Born to Run".[36]

Robert Copsey of the website Digital Spy called the song an "electro-thumping number with euphoric synths and uplifting melody" which according to him further drew comparison to Gaga's own song "Born This Way".[37] Copset further stated that "This is no bad thing, as it's less in-yer-face, and it's 'M-m-m-marry the night' hook is equally as catchy."[37] Awarding the song with four out of five stars Lewis Corner of the website Digital Spy wrote: "'I'm gonna marry the night/ I won't give up on my life/ I'm a warrior queen, live passionately, tonight,' GaGa calls out over a suitably grand introduction of deistic bells and rumbling techno synths - the result not to dissimilar, we imagine, to Paul Van Dyk playing an organ at a wedding ceremony. Defiant and epic, the track feeds into Stef's cult-focused fan base like a prophet calling upon their disciples - and given it's the single they've been waiting for, we have no doubt they'll come in their droves."[38]

Chart performance

Following the release of Born This Way on May 23, 2011, "Marry the Night" debuted at number 57 on the United States Billboard Hot Digital Songs Chart with sales of 35,000 digital downloads, allowing it to enter the Billboard Hot 100 at number 79.[39][40] According to Nielsen SoundScan, "Marry the Night" has sold 75,000 digital downloads.[9] On the issue dated December 3, 2011, "Marry the Night" re-entered the chart at number 97.[41] The same day it also debuted at number 24 on the Pop Songs chart in the United States, which is third-highest debut on that chart in 2011, following Gaga's "Born This Way" (number 14) and Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" (number 16).[42] In Canada, the song entered at number 91 on the Canadian Hot 100, while debuting on the Canadian Digital Songs chart at number 50.[43] It has reached a peak of number 42 there.[44] "Marry the Night" attained its highest position on the Gaon Chart of South Korea, where it reached number eleven on the International Digital Download chart.[45] Its other chart positions included reaching number 40 on the Ultratop 40 chart of Belgium's Walloon region, and number 18 on the UK Singles Chart.[46][47] In Ireland, "Marry the Night" debuted at number 34 on the Irish Singles Chart on November 18, 2011, and has reached a peak of number 24.[48][49] In Australia, "Marry the Night" debuted at number 88 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[50] In Germany, the song debuted at number 44 on the German Singles Chart on November 23, 2011.[51]

Music video

Gaga was spotted filming the music video for "Marry the Night" in Staten Island and Harlem, New York, on October 10–13, 2011.[52][53][54] On October 17, Gaga posted on her Twitter account: "Just wrapped my 5th music video, can't wait to unfold all its secrets and share with you moments from my past I have yet to reveal"[17][16] and added "Put Born This Way back in the vessel, for rebirth, as I lay in mine. When too strong to divorce, then buckle up, MARRY THE NIGHT."[16] Talking about the filming of the video, Lynn Kelly, a CEO of the Snug Harbor Cultural Center, where the video was shot said,

We found both her and her crew to be easy to work with and low-key. I think we would have expected a lot of drama, and the truth is, she is probably the most down-to-earth person. It was endearing. She was friendly and kind. [...] I think, for us, we're so excited to have someone of her talent, and to have somebody like that shoot here is a sheer honor. What her music does for music is so much more than entertainment. It's connecting to the arts on a much deeper level, and that's what I hope we can do here."[55]

On October 11, 2011, several publications announced that Gaga was seen during the filming of the video in Snug Harbor Cultural Center.[56] She was wearing a custom-made double zip lambskin jumpsuit by New York City designer, Asher Levine which was said to go along with the video's "grungy" and "bloody" theme and with the "nod to New York downtown refinement."[57][58] Dancers and extras were spotted dressed in multiple looks: some as ballerinas and others in leopard print while Gaga's mother was also seen on stage.[52] Later, other photos of the filming were published on several websites and they showed Gaga with blue lipstick and a leather romper with several male dancers, in a long-sleeve red dress with padded shoulders,[55] a big satellite dish[59] and a big black hat.[60] Footage of the video was posted online on October 14, 2011. Gaga is seen dancing on the roof of a car as she sings the bridge from the song.[55] She then slides down the car and begins running around the hood as the chorus starts. She's dressed in black, with a blond bob wig and black heels while rain is visible in the background, but she appears unfazed by the weather.[55] During an interview with NDTV on October 31, Gaga revealed that she directed the video. She also worked with the director of photography Darius Khondji and art director Gideon Ponte.[61]

Gaga teased on Twitter that the video will be her longest she has done and will be "the beginning of the story I never told you."[62] On November 11, 2011, she posted a still from the video on Twitter that shows her as she is sent down a hallway on a stretcher by two nurses.[62] The post was accompanied by the message "It's Not that I've been Dishonest, It's Just that I Loathe Reality."[62][63] James Montgomery of MTV News compared the scene to the 1975 drama film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and the 1980 horror film The Shining.[62] Gaga teased a two-minute opening sequence of the music video on November 17, 2011, after her performance at Children In Need Rocks Manchester.[64][65] The video was called "The Prelude Pathétique" and showed a dark-haired Gaga lying motionless in a hospital as well as an inner monologue.[64][66] On November 20, Gaga went on Alan Carr: Chatty Man and explained the meaning behind the "Marry the Night" music video. "I know how rejection feels in the business. I got signed, I got dropped, I got signed again. That's actually what the 'Marry the Night' video is about. It's about one of the most horrible days of my life when I got dropped from my first record label and it's the story of what happened that day."[67] A second preview of the music video, shot in a dance studio, premiered on November 25, 2011.[68]

Live performances

On October 31, 2011, Gaga performed a Bollywood version of "Marry the Night" in India during a Formula One after party in Greater Noida.[61] Before the performance, she announced "I feel like I've waited a long time to come here. And I feel very grateful.[...] For the first time ever, I'm going to sing 'Marry the Night'."[61] She sat on the piano and played a slow version of the song, accompanied by a sitar.[61] At the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards, Gaga gave her first televised performance of "Marry the Night" dressed as a satellite landing on the moon. Wearing a red bikini, and a large red disc around her, Gaga was perched atop a semi-circular replica of the moon which was covered in silver chains. Flames erupted around the stage as Gaga revealed another circular disc covering her face.[69] She sang the song from that vantage point and near the end of the performance, removed the metal disc and performed a choreographed dance routine with her back-up dancers.[69][70] She also performed the song at the 2011 Bambi Awards in Wiesbaden, Germany, on November 10. The stage included a vintage convertible with a keyboard built into the side of the door and Gaga also won an award later that night at the gala.[71]

Gaga appeared on the eighth series of The X Factor on November 13, 2011, and performed the song. Whilst singing, she emerged from a confessional dressed as a decapitated corpse, carrying her own head. She sang most of the song before returning to the booth and re-appearing in a leotard-like outfit and performed the rest of the song and a dance routine with her dancers.[72][73] At the Children in Need Rocks Manchester concert on November 17, 2011, "Marry the Night" was performed as the final song of her set list, along with "Born This Way" and "The Edge of Glory". The performance was fast paced and included a dance routine by Gaga with her dancers, for the first time.[74] On the British comedy show, Alan Carr: Chatty Man, Gaga performed a piano version of the song, while decked up in a pink dress and a gigantic bow on her head, which prompted Becky Bain from Idolator website to comment, "It's been some time since we’ve seen Lady Gaga rock a bow on top of her noggin', and though the one she wore during her [performance] wasn't her signature hairbow, it still made a big (as in HUGE) impression."[75] On the ABC special, A Very Gaga Thanksgiving, the singer performed an acoustic version of "Marry the Night". Her look, consisting of a shoulder-less black dress with matching hand gloves, was compared by James Dinh of MTV News to actress Audrey Hepburn. The performance was shot on top of a balcony, with Gaga giving poses while holding the microphone.[76]
