Musically, "Bad Romance" features a spoken bridge, a full-throated chorus and sung lyrics that concern the situation of being in love with one's best friend. The song, containing elements of the music from the 1980s and the 1990s and influences of German house-techno music, has been described by Gaga as a pop experimental record. "Bad Romance" was a commercial success that reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, Irish Singles Chart, Canadian Hot 100 and the Swedish, German, Austrian and Danish charts, while peaking at number two in countries such as the United States, Australia and New Zealand. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, the song has sold 9.7 million copies worldwide in 2010, making it her second-best selling single behind "Poker Face" (2008). Also a critical success, "Bad Romance" was praised by most critics who compared it to Gaga's second single "Poker Face". It was also ranked the ninth best song by Rolling Stone in their list of "25 Best Songs of 2009" and received the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Gaga has performed "Bad Romance" on several television shows – including Saturday Night Live and Gossip Girl as well as award shows such as the 2009 American Music Awards. It was the closing song of Gaga's The Monster Ball Tour, during which, she performed it while standing inside a giant gyroscope.
"Bad Romance" was the first single from The Fame Monster, Gaga's follow-up to her debut album The Fame. Before its official release, a demo version of the song was published illegally on the internet, prompting Gaga to comment via Twitter, "leaked next single is makin my ears bleed. Wait till you hear the real version." She had initially performed a brief portion of the song on Saturday Night Live on October 3, 2009, along with "Poker Face" and "LoveGame". The actual version of "Bad Romance" was premiered during the finale of fashion designer Alexander McQueen's 2010 Paris Fashion Week show, followed by the song being released on October 19, 2009. Gaga explained that "Bad Romance" was one of the songs she wrote in 2008 while touring. The songs composed during that time are about the various "monsters" (paranoias) she faced during the tour. One of them was the "love monster" and the inspiration for "Bad Romance". Gaga explained that she generally felt lonely when she was in relationships, and concluded that she gets drawn to men with whom the romance never works out. Hence "Bad Romance" was the song that detailed whether she preferred such lonely relationships, or it was her wrong choice in men. In Grazia magazine, Gaga further detailed her inspiration,
I wrote ['Bad Romance'] when I was in Norway, on my tour bus. I was in Russia, then Germany, and spent a lot of time in Eastern Europe. There is this amazing German house-techno music, so I wanted to make a pop experimental record. I kind of wanted to leave the '80s a little bit, so the chorus is a '90s melody, which is what the inspiration was. There was certainly some whisky involved in the writing of the record. It's about being in love with your best friend.
"Bad Romance" was written by Lady Gaga and RedOne, while the latter produced it. The song was recorded at Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles and FC Walvisch Recording Media Studios at Amsterdam. According to Gil Kauffman from MTV, "Bad Romance" is similar in tempo to Gaga's previous single "Poker Face". The song opens with Gaga singing a portion of the chorus, then transitioning into the "Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah, Roma-roma-mah, Gaga-ooh-la-la" hook. It is followed by the sound of drum beats and the sound of keyboards. After the first verse, the prechorus follows, with Gaga voicing the line "You know that I want you, And you know that I need you, I want your bad, your bad romance". The full-throated chorus then follows, where she sings "I want your love, And I want your revenge, You and me could write a bad romance [...] Caught in a bad romance". During the interlude, Gaga sings the verses from the chorus in French: "Je veux ton amour, Et je veux ta revanche, Je veux ton amour".
At About.com, Bill Lamb writes that the music is well suited for playing at fashion designer shows and on the runway. Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine said that the music consists of New Wave synths and a number of endless hooks. Simon Price from The Independent felt that the chorus has influences of the music of Boney M while The Guardian reviewer Kitty Price wrote that "Bad Romance" recalled the music of Depeche Mode's 1986 album, Black Celebration. According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, "Bad Romance" is set in common time with a metronome of 119 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of A minor with Gaga's vocal range spanning from the low-note of E3 to the high-note of A5. The song follows in the chord progression of Am–C–F–C–G in the verses and F–G–Am–C–F–G–E–Am in the chorus. The lyrics address aspects of a bad relationship but also discuss fashion in the line "Walk, walk fashion baby, Work it move that bitch crazy." In an interview, Gaga pointed out that she was listing Alfred Hitchcock films in the verse, "I want your psycho, your vertigo shtick, Want you in my rear window, Baby when you're sick." She said, "What I'm really trying to say is I want the deepest, darkest, sickest parts of you that you are afraid to share with anyone because I love you that much." "Bad Romance" received mostly positive reviews from critics. In 2011, Rolling Stone called it the greatest Lady Gaga song ever, praising the song's catchy chorus and "pummeling club beat power a song that's grand and tawdry and joyful and melancholy". Lamb listed the song as one of the top tracks from The Fame Monster, and commented that "Lady Gaga's singing is at its best so far here as she moves from threatening to floating sweetness and back again. [...] If you had any fears that Gaga would be one album flash in the pan, the room filling beats and melodies of 'Bad Romance' should help dispel them." Gil Kaufman from MTV described the "minimal beat [of the song] stays at a low boil for most, [...] rising up in an ecstatic, Erasure-esque throb during the chorus, but lacking the immediate pull of some of Gaga's biggest hits to date". Other critics also found references to music from the 1980s. Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine characterized the song as one of the album's highlights and explained that "if melodies could be time-stamped, [this] would have '80s branded on [its ass]". Kitty Empire of The Guardian wrote that singles like "Bad Romance" make Gaga more comparable with Madonna.
