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.

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.

There is a sing-along hook—"Rah, rah, ah, ah, ah/Roma, roma ma/Gaga, ooh la la"—present in between the verses. Second track, "Alejandro", incorporates elements from music of ABBA and Ace of Base, with the lyrics talking about Gaga fending off a harem of Latino men.

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".
