"Sexxx Dreams" (censored as "X Dreams") is a song by American singer Lady Gaga from her third studio album, ''Artpop'' (2013). The song was written by Gaga, Paul "DJ White Shadow" Blair, Martin Bresso, and William Grigahcine, and produced by Blair, Gaga, Nick Monson, and Dino Zisis. Inspired by Gaga's erotic fantasies and dreams, the song went through a number of changes to make it understandable for the singer's team, while keeping a constant chorus. A synthpop song, Gaga promoted the title by using a number of hashtags involving the name in her social media accounts, and at one point was considered for a single release from ''Artpop''. Critics received the song favorably, complimenting the composition, the futuristic sound, the lyrical insights into Gaga's life, and compared it to the works of singers Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul. It debuted at number 41 in the Gaon Chart of South Korea, selling 3,414 copies during the release week of ''Artpop''. "Sexxx Dreams" was one of several album tracks included in Gaga's 2013 concert at the iTunes Festival in London. It was also present on the set list of Gaga's residency show at Roseland Ballroom and ArtRave: The Artpop Ball tour. ==Writing and composition== Development of Lady Gaga's third studio album, ''Artpop'', began shortly after the release of her second one, ''Born This Way'' (2011), and by the following year, the album's concepts were "beginning to flourish" as Gaga collaborated with producers Fernando Garibay and DJ White Shadow. However, while on tour for the Born This Way Ball, Gaga had to undergo a hip surgery in February 2013 which forced the singer into a six month hiatus, and this rehabilitation became one of the inspirations behind the album. "Sexxx Dreams" was written by Gaga, Paul "DJ White Shadow" Blair, Martin Bresso, and William Grigahcine, and produced by Blair, Gaga, Nick Monson, and Dino Zisis. Its lyrics propose a sexual encounter with a lover whose boyfriend is gone for the weekend. Gaga was inspired to write the song from her "mucky" fantasies. She said in an interview with the ''Daily Mirror'': In November 2013, during a special iHeartRadio Album Release Party broadcast on more than 150 Clear Channel stations to promote ''Artpop'', Gaga revealed to Ryan Seacrest that "sexy sculptures" appear in her "crazy" and "really bizarre" dreams. She introduced the song as "something really erotic and exotic", allowing fans to "experience what it's like to be me". Gaga and her team spent a lot of time creating the rhythm of the song. At first people involved in the production were not sure of Gaga's idea behind the composition, and hence it went through a lot of changes, but kept the chorus as constant since Gaga was against changing it. Gaga explained that the dialogue exchange in the lyrics alternate between singing to one person, and speaking to another, which reverses from verse to verse. Here the people she converses with in the song are her imaginary boyfriend and girlfriend.〔 Jason Lipshutz of ''Billboard'' said the song is one in which Gaga "balances a disintegrating relationship and a lustful fantasy" and "juggles a pastel-colored 80's aesthetic and R-rated breakdown of unspoken desire". MTV's Brenna Ehrlich described it as a "sweaty, sultry jam about touching oneself".〔 According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com, "Sexxx Dreams" is set in common time with a moderate dance tempo of 120 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of C minor with Gaga's vocals spanning from G3 to F5. The song has a basic sequence of G–Cm–G–Cm during the verses and Cm–A–G–Cm in the chorus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sexxx Dreams: Lady Gaga: Sheet Music )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sexxx Dreams」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
