“Unlocking the Mysteries: What Lady Gaga Really Reveals About Love and Magic in ‘Abracadabra'”

Added on February 5, 2025 inMusic News Cards

Is there anything more magical than a catchy tune that pulls you in and makes you want to dance? Well, Lady Gaga’s latest single “Abracadabra” does just that—and so much more! With its pulsating beat reminiscent of her early masterpieces like The Fame Monster and Born This Way, Gaga proves she’s still got that electric spark. But hold on a second! Before we throw our hands up and lose ourselves to the rhythm, let’s take a closer look at the lyrics. The chorus may sound like whimsical gibberish—specifically, “Abracadabra, amor-ooh-na-na, abracadabra, morta-ooh-ga-ga”—but as with many of her songs, there’s a deeper meaning lurking beneath the surface. It’s all about love and death, two themes that have fascinated humanity since forever, and let’s not forget about the lady in red, who might just have a few secrets of her own! So, are you ready to dive into the enchanting world of “Abracadabra”? I promise, you won’t want to miss what lies beneath the infectious melody! LEARN MORE.

Lady Gaga’s infectious new single “Abracadabra” is a return to form for the Grammy-winning star – in more ways than one.

Not only does the heavy, industrial-inspired pop production hark back to her The Fame Monster and Born This Way days, and the accompanying video is easily among the best of her career, but the song’s chorus also includes some of the nonsense “jibberish” style singing previously heard on the early hits like “Bad Romance” and “Poker Face.”

Or, at least, that’s how it might appear. But Gaga being Gaga, she managed to sneak a hidden meaning into the mix.

“Abracadabra, amor-ooh-na-na, abracadabra, morta-ooh-ga-ga,” she sings on the chorus, and while it might seem like she’s just put words together to get us dancing, there’s actually more to the song than first appears.

“Amor” and “morta” are both Latin terms referring to “love” and “death”, the song’s two main themes, which are both overarching ideas Gaga will explore on her much-hyped new album Mayhem.

She also says in the final line of the chorus that the character known as the “lady in red” sings “in her own tongue, ‘death and love’ tonight”, confirming the Latin terms’ use is very much deliberate.
