I'm calling cause I need you I'm calling just to tell you 'Cause I've got nothing on but the radio You better get here
soon 'Cause I've got nothing on but the radio When you get here, boy, we can dance Got too much time on my hands 'Cause I've got nothing on but the radio Oh, oh, oh "Nothing On (But the Radio)" is a song written by Lady Gaga, Billy Steinberg, and Josh Alexander in 2010 during Born This Way recording sessions. In 2012, Gaga reworked song with DJ White Shadow as titled "Heart It On The Radio" during ARTPOP recording sessions, however the song didn't make onto final cut of the album. In 2016, the song was given to an artist named Paris Monroe. Paris decided not to release her version, however it leaked online in 2020. A recording of socialite Addison Rae singing it for her upcoming EP leaked in January 2022. BackgroundThe song was written and recorded during Born This Way recording sessions in late 2010. However the song didn't make onto final cut of the album. The full demo of the song leaked on October 2010. On July 18, 2012, Gaga was leaving her hotel in Chicago before Pitchfork Festival when the car got stuck at a red light. Some fans ran to the car which prompted Gaga to roll down the window and stick half of her body out to sign autographs. During that short moment, the song was heard playing on the radio. The song was also a contender for ARTPOP, however, the song also did not make onto the final cut. That info was proven true after huge leak of legal papers and contracts belonging to Gaga in May 2020. The files were stolen from law firm of which Gaga was a client. ARTPOP version of the song was produced by DJ White Shadow. When RuPaul was asked which Gaga song he likes the most, he replied: "You know, I believe it’s the one I did with her called "Fashion!"; I love that song. Also, there’s this other one that’s part of this unreleased package that floated around the internet called "Nothing On (But the Radio)". I don’t know the story behind it. I have a whole album of b-sides and unreleased Lady Gaga stuff. I don’t know how I got it." The song is potentially a reference to a quote by Marilyn Monroe: LyricsI'm calling 'cause I need you. I'm calling just to tell you, 'Cause I've got nothing on but the radio, You better get here soon, 'Cause I've got nothing on but the radio, And I've
got nothing on for tonight. When you get here, boy, we can dance. Got too much time on my hands. 'Cause I've got nothing on but the radio, Oh, Oh, Oh CreditsOriginal version
