"Abracadabra" lyrics

"Abracadabra"

Abracadabra, abracadabra
Abracadabra, abracadabra

Pay the toll to the angels
Drawing circles in the clouds
Keep your mind on the distance
When the devil turns around

Hold me in your heart tonight
In the magic of the dark moonlight
Save me from this empty fight
In the game of life
Like a poem said by a lady in red
You hear the last few words of your life
With a haunting dance, now you're both in a trance
It's time to cast your spell on the night

Abracadabra, amor-ooh-na-na
Abracadabra, morta-ooh-ga-ga
Abracadabra, abra-ooh-na-na
In her tongue, she said, "Death or love tonight"

Abracadabra, abracadabra
Abracadabra, abracadabra
Feel the beat under your feet, the floor's on fire
Abracadabra, abracadabra

Choose the road on the west side
As the dust flies, watch it burn
Don't waste time on a feeling
Use your passion, no return

Hold me in your heart tonight
In the magic of the dark moonlight
Save me from this empty fight
In the game of life
Like a poem said by a lady in red
You hear the last few words of your life
With a haunting dance, now you're both in a trance
It's time to cast your spell on the night

Abracadabra, amor-ooh-na-na
Abracadabra, morta-ooh-ga-ga
Abracadabra, abra-ooh-na-na
In her tongue, she said, "Death or love tonight"

Abracadabra, abracadabra
Abracadabra, abracadabra
Feel the beat under your feet, the floor's on fire
Abracadabra, abracadabra

Phantom of the dance floor, come to me
Sing for me a sinful melody

Abracadabra, amor-ooh-na-na
Abracadabra, morta-ooh-ga-ga
Abracadabra, abra-ooh-na-na
In her tongue, she said, "Death or love tonight"

"Abracadabra" is the third promotional single from Lady Gaga's seventh studio album, "MAYHEM". The song was premiered on February 2, 2025, accompanied by the music video directed by Gaga, Parris Goebel and Bethany Vargas. The song and the video were debuted during a commercial break at the 67th annual Grammys Awards that day.
Lady Gaga said of "Abracadabra" in an interview with Elle, "Well, the song is about facing the challenge of life and the challenge of the night and finding the magic in it all. [...] When you have to face the world, the people around you, your life, your unique circumstances, your unique fabric in the world. And when you feel challenged with really showing everybody who you are." She also clarified who the lady in red was in the song's music video, "The lady in red is all of you that puts you to the test. Your internal monologue. 'Can you do it? Can you do it? Will you do it? Are you good enough? Can you handle it?'"
