INSET:
"Judas" is a song by American recording artist Lady Gaga, taken from her second studio album Born This Way (2011). The song was released worldwide on April 15, 2011, four days ahead of its scheduled release, by Interscope Records. Written and produced by Lady Gaga and RedOne, "Judas" is a dance song that speaks of a woman in love with a man who betrayed her. The song also embodies all the incidents that have haunted Gaga in the past, and its core meaning refers to the negative parts of her life that she can't escape. Gaga has further explained that the song was also about honoring one's inner darkness in order to bring oneself into the light, explaining that "you have to look into what’s haunting you and need to learn to forgive yourself in order to move on."
"Judas" has a similar sound to Gaga's previous RedOne produced tracks, as for example "Poker Face", "LoveGame", "Bad Romance", and "Alejandro", and contains three distinct hooks and a break down, influenced by house music. The breakdown also contains influences of tribal-techno and dubstep. Gaga explained that the lines spoken during the breakdown talk about her being beyond redemption, in terms of the traditional views of what a woman should be. The artwork for the single was designed by Gaga in Microsoft Word and features a black background with the word "Judas" written in red capital letters. After designing the cover, Gaga took a picture of it with her cell phone, to add further texture.
Critics noted similarity between "Judas" and "Bad Romance", but praised the musical production of the song, complimenting its energy and the robotic break down. "Judas" initially had a strong sales opening, but eventually was less successful commercially in comparison to Gaga's previous singles. The song reached the top-ten of the charts in most major music markets, but failed to attain the top position in any of them. It only reached the top of the charts in South Korea and the Hot Dance Club Songs chart of Billboard, in the United States.
A music video for the song was filmed in early April, co-directed by Gaga and Laurieann Gibson and co-starring Norman Reedus. It has a Biblical storyline where Reedus played Judas Iscariot and Gaga played Mary Magdalene. The video portrayed them as modern day missionaries going to Jerusalem. It included the Biblical story of Judas betraying Jesus, and ended with Gaga as Magdalene getting stoned to death. Prior to its release, the Catholic League condemned Gaga for the alleged use of religious imagery and her role in the video. However, critics in general praised the video for its overall delivery and did not find anything offending about it. The video was nominated for two awards at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards; however, it did not win in either categories. Gaga has performed "Judas" on a number of television shows, including The Graham Norton Show, Saturday Night Live, Good Morning America's "Summer Concert Series", the French X Factor as well as on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
