Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM era argued that pop reinvention has no age limit
In March 2025, Lady Gaga used MAYHEM and an Innovator Award speech to reject the idea that women approaching 40 should stop changing pop on their own terms.
Lyrics
26
[Chorus]
26, my baby's a 26
On a scale of 1 to 10, my baby's a 26
26, my baby's a 26
On a scale of 1 to 10, my baby's a 26
26, my baby's a 26
On a scale of 1 to 10, my baby's a 26
26, my baby's a 26
On a scale of 1 to 10, my baby's a 26
[Verse 1]
What's this I hear all about these perfect 10s?
My colleagues squawk about them Ritzy girl friends
A hundred pounds, a hundred pounds of trash
They talk to me, they ramble on in my ears
And their conversation's boring
I would bet anyone 50 dollars
'Cause I only wager on the surest things
Anywhere, anywhere she would go
I would follow 500 miles away from home
Just for a fling, for a fling
[Chorus]
26, my baby's a 26
On a scale of 1 to 10, my baby's a 26
26, my baby's a 26
On a scale of 1 to 10, my baby's a 26
