- "Americano" (Spanish for "American") is a song by Lady Gaga off Born This Way. The song title was revealed through Vogue magazine. During The Monster Ball on May 3, 2011 in Mexico, Gaga debuted an acoustic version of the song. She also stated that “It sounds like a pop record, but when I sing it, I see Edith Piaf in a spotlight with an old microphone." On May 5, Gaga performed the song with Fernando Garibay during her concert at Foro Sol. Lady Gaga revealed at the Born This Way press conference in Mexico City that there are two versions of the song. One is a mariachi and techno version that is bilingual, while the other is an extended, mariachi only version where Gaga is singing completely in Spanish. The song was registered on Gaga's BMI on May 17, 2011. The Gregori Klosman Remix was regi

| - A collaborative effort between Gaga, Fernando Garibay, DJ White Shadow, Paul Blair, and Cheche Aliar, "Americano" was influenced by the events surrounding the repeal of the controversial California Proposition 8—a ballot proposition that defined marriage as a union between opposite-sex couples, thereby prohibiting and invalidating same-sex marriage throughout the state—as well as the growing struggles of Mexican immigrants. "The song was directly inspired by events that happened that day," recalled Garibay, in his interview with MTV. "It was in August, in the middle of summer, last year, and it was when Prop 8 was overturned in California. And there was a lot happening with immigration and the border issues and she pushed, she said she wanted to make this song really Mexican, with the struggle the Mexican people have gone through for freedom, for a better life, and so those ideas are directly implemented in the song." Gaga, an ardent opponent of the law, was compelled to create new music following the repeal of Proposition 8. The singer's main objective was to "go full on Mexicano", a sentiment that Garibay was not used to hearing, as most people in the music industry professed that Latin-inspired music was "a bit cheesy". According to the producer, "We started with me on guitar and her on piano, kind of wrote the lyric on the spot, and she sang it all the way through, and that's how the song was born." "Americano" was previewed on FarmVille on May 20, 2011 in conjunction with the release of Born This Way.
