Babylon

“Babylon” is the closing track from the standard edition of Lady Gaga’s album Chromatica. The track is titled after the ancient city of Babylon, which appears both in real history in the Mesopotamian valley civilization as well as in the Bible. The Haus Laboratories version of the track was first teased on the debut commercial for her makeup brand. Like “Stupid Love,” the song’s demo was subjected to a 30 second leak online on March 20th. However, during the album’s release night, producer BloodPop revealed that the original version of the song will be coming out soon, which Gaga confirmed by liking a tweet. The song incorporates samples of ‘'Los’‘ by Ozio and the bassline of ’‘Confusion’‘ by New Order.
