Genius Annotation

“Venus” is a disco-influenced sex song, space-style. It’s one large triple entendre.

It’s definitely stranger than Applause, using many beat cuts and shifts, and unpredictable melody changes. Lady Gaga herself produced it.

It was intended to be the 2nd single for ARTPOP, but that honor was taken by Do What U Want, demoting this to the 1st promotional single.


One of the single covers for “Venus” allude to the “venus” that girls have, in a rather bizarre way. Combined with the ARTPOP album cover, it establishes feminism as a recurring theme.

Genius Answer

So, this song is about faith, but it’s also about finding faith in other places, in the beyond, and my experience with love being something that took me up a really long time to find. So it’s really psychedelic and it really takes you on a journey. I kinda got this lot of different inspiration from this sort of futuristic disco meets late 70’s and jazz and this really really kinda gooey deep groove. This song is really about sex, but it’s about sex on the most mythological way.
