“Stupid Love” has been described as a return to the dance-pop and electropop sound of Gaga’s earlier career, with influences of dance,disco, and electronic. Dan Adler of Vanity Fair noted “Lady Gaga’s new single ‘Stupid Love’ arrives in declarations: ‘All I ever wanted was love’; ‘I want your stupid love.’ She issues them over glittering dance pop, and they’re less plaintive than euphoric—the act of expression is the triumph.”
