Listen to Lady Gaga – Killah feat Gesaffelstein
“Killah” is a track from Lady Gaga’s seventh studio album, Mayhem, released on March 7, 2025. The song showcases an electro-funk industrial style, blending elements of dark techno and synth-pop.
Notably, it features a collaboration with French producer Gesaffelstein, known for his dark and atmospheric electronic productions.
The composition of “Killah” has drawn comparisons to the sounds of Nine Inch Nails and Prince, attributed to its dense synthesizers, heavy basslines, and aggressive electronic rhythms.
The track is built upon a hypnotic groove, with whispered verses that build intensity leading up to a high-energy chorus. Gesaffelstein’s influence becomes particularly evident in the latter half of the song, where the instrumentation transitions into a distorted techno interlude before returning to the powerful chorus.
Lyrically, “Killah” delves into themes of seduction and danger
Intro]
Killah
[Verse 1]
Standin’ on the corner, smokin’ that grass
And the boys all pass me by
Talkin’ some shit with your hand on my ass
I’m a murderer in disguise
Yeah, you wanna be cool, but you’re makin’ me mad
Bite my lip, it starts to bleed
Yeah, it tastes so good, but I gotta be bad
If I’m gonna get you home
[Pre-Chorus]
Gonna make the curtains cream, believe it
Gonna make the ceilin’ shake for me
I’ma be your full-time bedroom demon
I’m gonna make you scream, that’s a matter of fact
I’ll be your fantasy
[Chorus]
I’m a killah
And, boy, you’re gonna die tonight
Oh, killah, killah, killah, killah
I’m a killah
And, boy, you’re gonna die tonight
Oh, killah, killah, killah, killah
Killah
[Verse 2]
I’m lightin’ up my final cigarette
I’ll burn a hole right through your eyes
Lookin’ at you like a zombie killah
Hungry for a homicide
If I get you alone under your skin and bone
I’ma try you on for size
I’m ’bout to wear you out like my favorite suit
Wools paralyzed
[Pre-Chorus]
Gonna make the curtains cream, believe it
Gonna make the ceiling shake for me
I’ma be your full-time bedroom demon
I’m gonna make you scream, that’s a matter of fact
I’ll be your fantasy
[Chorus]
I’m a killah
And, boy, you’re gonna die tonight
Oh, killah, killah, killah, killah
I’m a killah
And, boy, you’re gonna die tonight
Oh, killah, killah, killah, killah
Killah
[Instrumental Break]
Ah
Killah
[Outro]
Woo (Killah)
I’m a killah
And, boy, you’re gonna die tonight (Hey)
Killah
