"Gypsy” was debuted in Germany. before performing the song, Lady Gaga had this to say to the audience about the song:
"So I wrote (“Gypsy”) when I was travelling around the world. And it was about this exact thing that you said to me… a gypsy doesn’t have a home. But I (a gypsy) do have a home. I have a home with you (all) always. This is my first performance of this record; it’s very special to me. Thank you for sharing it with me."
All in all, “Gypsy” is an autobiographical song for Gaga, representing her life after becoming an entertainer and romanticizing the idea of traveling the world like a gypsy: never grounded, never held down.
"I started writing “Gypsy” with RedOne, and then I finished writing it with DJ White Shadow and Madeon, and myself, obviously, and we finished the production together. I did a lot of the guitar parts on this song, it was sort of my main passion on this record, was getting some really exciting acoustic parts, and my buddy Tim, he plays guitar, he’s so so talented. And this song is about, you know, traveling the world, and sometimes feeling really really lonely, but being okay with being alone because I have my fans, and because, when I get to that different country everyday: they are my home, just for the day. And this record’s all about falling in love, but it’s also about what I think the key is to staying in love, and that’s not trying to stop the other person from being on their own journey, not trying to stop them from being who they are, or trying to change them. That’s really been the new success in my love life. It’s been in allowing the other person to be on their journey, and you be on yours, and that you just be really happy when you’re together and not try to change one another."
