The song has religious undertones and is sung from the perspective of Mary Magdalene, who was one of Jesus’ most celebrated disciples and the first person to see Jesus after his resurrection. Gaga has stated that she believes Mary Magdalene was both fully divine and fully human, and the song reflects this duality, with references to both strength and vulnerability. The track is a slow-tempo electropop with elements of trance, containing “plucked strings” and “filthy beats,” and a “synthy tune” with Gregorian chants and warped vocal effects.
