Lady Gaga has released the haunting video for “The Dead Dance”, the track she co-wrote with Andrew Watt and Henry Walter for Wednesday season two. The black-and-white clip finds Gaga moving through a forest of abandoned dolls, her angular choreography nodding to Thriller and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Gaga revealed it stemmed from a breakup:
“The inspiration for ‘The Dead Dance’ was a breakup, and it was all about the way that we sometimes feel when it’s over; how a relationship ending can kill our ability to feel hopeful about love. It’s got this really cool, funky beat underneath it. And that is when the song becomes not just about the relationship; it becomes about having fun with your friends when you’ve been through something tough and amazing.”
