Born This Way was released worldwide on May 23, 2011. A special
edition of the album is also available, and has three additional
songs and five remixes. While accepting the Video of the Year award
for Bad Romance at the MTV Video Music Awards, Gaga announced the
album's title before declaring that she promised that she would
reveal it if she won that award. This revelation was followed by
Gaga singing a few lines from the title song: I'm beautiful in my
way, 'cause God makes no mistakes; I'm on the right track baby, I
was Born This Way. Given as a Christmas gift to her fans, Gaga
announced via Twitter the release dates of the album and its lead
single at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day 2011.
Supplementing this announcement came a black-and-white photograph
in which Gaga is nude from the waist down, with her hair blowing
about, and sporting a jacket with Born This Way emblazoned in what
looks like bedazzled jewels.
Upon the performance of a ballad, You and I, on Today's Toyota
Concert Series in July 2010, Gaga confirmed that it would be
featured on the album yet the song bared a different sound than
the [rest of the] album. The track was then added to her set list
at The Monster Ball. In a further atypical manner, she released the
complete set of lyrics to Born This Way on her official Twitter
page in late January 2011.
To promote the album, Lady Gaga has released songs on Farmville
Gagaville. Zynga made a farm for her and tasks had to be
completed in order to unlock streamings for three unheard songs
from the album.
