The lyrics talk about Gaga defending herself against a group of Latin men and has a number of ABBA allusions, including a reference to their 1976 song "Fernando", which Gaga cited as one of her influences. Originally, "Dance in the Dark" was planned to be released as the third single from "The Fame Monster", as a preference of Gaga's record label. The singer's own choice, "Alejandro", initially saw poor reception in terms of radio play, thereby was not seen as a viable choice for a single. A quarrel then arose between Gaga and her label where "Alejandro" was ultimately chosen to be released.

Alejandro (song) | Introduction
Gaga performed the song on the ninth season of "American Idol" and has performed it on all dates of The Monster Ball Tour and on all subsequent tours to date.
Alejandro (song) | Introduction
Gaga co-wrote and co-produced "Alejandro" with RedOne. It was recorded at FC Walvisch Studios in Amsterdam. She told Fuse TV that the inspiration behind "Alejandro" was her "Fear of Men Monster". "Billboard" described "Alejandro" as a synth-pop song with a "stomping Euro-pop beat". The song is influenced by ABBA and Ace of Base, the latter being prominent in the beats of the song, the vocals, and the melody. The words are slurred in Gaga's vocal delivery while the composition consists of an uplifting melody. The song opens with the main melody from the Hungarian piece "Csárdás" by Italian composer Vittorio Monti played on violin, as a distressed Gaga (speaking in a Spanish accent) states: "I know that we are young, and I know that you may love me/But I just can't be with you like this anymore, Alejandro." The track then changes to a stomping Europop beat.
Alejandro (song) | Composition and release
Gaga bids her ex-lovers farewell with a bitter-hearted pre-chorus where she sings: "You know that I love you, boy/Hot like Mexico, rejoice!/At this point I've got to choose/Nothing to lose." By the end of the song, the three protagonists—Alejandro, Fernando, and Roberto—are bidden farewell by Gaga. According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, the song is set in the time signature of common time, with a moderate tempo of 99 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of B minor with Gaga's vocal range spanning from F to G. The song has a basic sequence of Bm–D–Fm as its chord progression.

Mikael Wood of "Los Angeles Times" called it bubbly and also went to compare with ABBA's style. Jon Dolan from "Rolling Stone" called it a "loving ABBA spoof". Scott Plagenhoef of Pitchfork Media noted that although "Alejandro" is an ABBA morph, "it comes off very modern, in part because U.S. pop and hip-hop is currently drawing heavily from Europop, Hi-NRG, and dance music." Brian R. Fitzgerland from "The Wall Street Journal" compared the song with Madonna's 1987 single "Who's That Girl". Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song five out of five stars and compared it to Madonna's song "La Isla Bonita" and Ace Of Base songs, but felt that Gaga added "her own twist to hers".

Alejandro (song) | Synopsis
It's a celebration and an admiration of gay love—it confesses my envy of the courage and bravery they require to be together. In the video I'm pining for the love of my gay friends—but they just don't want me to be with them." A snippet of the video was shown on "Larry King Live" on June 1, 2010. The clip was from the portion of the video in black-and-white, where Gaga and her dancers perform variations on a sharp military march throughout. Kara Warner of MTV said that it seemed reminiscent of Madonna's "Vogue" video and Christina Aguilera's "Not Myself Tonight", but stated that in "Alejandro", Gaga's style was more cutting, masculine and militant in contrast to Madonna's.

Brad Wete of "Entertainment Weekly," liked the video; however, he had no idea what was going on: "I can’t wait to hear Lady Gaga explain her latest video, “Alejandro.” Mostly because after watching it (twice!), I have absolutely no clue what's going on beyond the obvious." Anthony Benigno from "Daily News" felt that "the shock songstress' new music video [...] is chock full of bed-ridden S&M imagery that makes it look like the softcore answer to "The Matrix".

"Alejandro" created a media uproar after the release of the video because of its use of religious imagery.

The Catholic League criticized the video for its use of religious imagery, accusing Gaga of "playing a Madonna copy-cat". Moncia Herrara said of the mayhem: "['Alejandro'] courts religious controversy in much the same way that Madonna's 'Like a Prayer' video once did, intermingling Catholic imagery like rosary beads and nun's robes with sexual cues." In an interview with MTV, Klein explained that the religious symbolism was not meant to denote anything negative, but to represent Gaga's battle between the darker and lighter forces.

"New York" said the video "reeked" of Madonna. James Montgomery of MTV News defended Gaga against the Madonna comparisons, saying, "Just to say, 'Oh, 'cause it's in black and white and she has a bowl haircut at one point, it's Madonna,' that's sort of selling their vision short." He also said that the music video for "Alejandro" is "not the best video in the world." In an article for "The Sunday Times", Camille Paglia wrote "Gaga has borrowed so heavily from Madonna (as in her latest video-Alejandro) that it must be asked, at what point does homage become theft?"
