Sourced context
"Alejandro" is a song by the American singer Lady Gaga from her third extended play (EP), The Fame Monster (2009)—the reissue of her album The Fame (2008). It was released as the third single from The Fame Monster on April 20, 2010. Interscope Records intended "Dance in the Dark" to be the EP's third single after "Alejandro" initially received limited airplay, but Gaga insisted on the latter. Written and co-produced by Gaga alongside the Moroccan-Swedish producer RedOne, "Alejandro" was inspired by Gaga's fear of men and is about her bidding farewell to her Latino lovers named Alejandro, Roberto and Fernando. Musically, it is a dance-pop and synth-pop song with Europop and Latin pop beats, and it opens with a sample from the main melody of Vittorio Monti's "Csárdás".
