Gaga also revealed some of the lyrics to the song from her as-yet-untitled album, which include: "I don't need eyes to see/ I felt you touchin' me/ High like amphetamine/ Maybe you're just a dream." At the iHeartRadio Music Summit last month Mother Monster described the inspirations of the song this way: ""The song is about modern ecstasy... We found our sweet, simple, ragey way of saying it... I get this sick adrenaline rush every time I hear it."
I DON'T NEED EYES TO SEE
I FELT YOU TOUCHIN' ME

"Perfect Illusion" -- produced by Gaga, Mark Ronson, Tame Impala singer Kevin Parker and BloodPop -- is the singer's first solo release in almost three years and anticipation for the track is high: It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard + Twitter Top Tracks chart last month, weeks before it was scheduled to arrive.
