"Stupid Love" is a song recorded by American singer Lady Gaga. It was officially released on February 28, 2020, as the lead single from Gaga's sixth studio album, Chromatica (2020), after it was leaked in January 2020. It was written by Gaga, BloodPop, Tchami, Max Martin, and Ely Rise, with BloodPop explaining that it was the song that started his work on Chromatica with the singer. It is a disco-infused dance-pop, electropop and house song that talks about gathering the courage to fall in love again after a heartbreak.
The single's release was preceded by billboards with stills from the accompanying music video, and promotional photos posted on social media. The song garnered positive response from music critics, and it was favorably compared to the singer's earlier works. Commercially, the song reached number one in Scotland, Hungary and El Salvador, as well as the top five of the US Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart, and achieved a top 10 placement on music charts in over 20 territories.
The music video for the song was directed by Daniel Askill and was released on the same day as the single. It takes place in the fictional world Chromatica, and shows Gaga leading the "Kindness Punks", and performing choreography with groups of dance warriors, each group with a corresponding color. The track was also featured in a lip sync video, promoting Gaga's Haus Laboratories eyeshadow palette named after "Stupid Love". Gaga performed "Stupid Love" as the final song of a Chromatica medley at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards.
