Poker Face is a song by Lady Gaga, an American Singer; she recorded this song
for her first studio album,the Fame, which was released in 2008. It was also the
second single from the album and it is from synth-pop song in the key of G#
minor; we are mentioning the technical aspects of the song because Lady Gaga
kept the song in the same key for both the singles that she released for the
album. The other song with the same key of G# the minor was “Just Dance”, but
that song has a much darker musical tone.
The main idea that Lady Gaga kept in mind while writing the song was to bring
the topic of bisexuality to light; it was also a tribute to Gaga’s rock and roll
boyfriends. When you listen to a song, you can find various sexual innuendos in
it. As a result, some parental care is required when you are learning or listening
to this song.
Poker Face was praised by a number of critics for the use of robotic hooks and
chorus. It also made Lady Gaga a global sensation as the song topped in 20
countries around the world, including the United States, United Kingdom,
Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and even in few European countries. This song
has sold more than 14 million times, making it one of the best-selling singles of
all time and the best-selling single of 2009 worldwide as it crossed the 9.8
million sales mark in that single year.

Even Poker Face got the nomination for Song of the Year and Record of the Year
in the 52nd Grammy Awards ceremony; it won the Grammy for Best Dance
Recording for that year. Lady Gaga and RedOne collaborated to write the lyrics
of the song. In one of her concerts Gaga told her fans on stage how she came up
with the song and its real meaning. According to her,this song dealt with
personal experiences with bisexuality. The idea was to be with a man while still
fantasizing about a woman, so the man in the song has to read her poker face
to understand what Gaga is thinking when she is with him.
