In 2010, Snake recalled that "Lady Gaga was looking out for new talent to produce her album and my music seduced her. It was a real gamble. Lady Gaga ordered me two sounds. I sent two instrumentals that subsequently became Bloody Mary and Government Hooker." His work on Born This Way earned him a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year in February 2012. DJ Snake revealed that "Government Hooker" was supposed to be a single but was scrapped when the record company stopped the marking of the album. In 2012, DJ Snake collabored again with Gaga on a few songs including "Do What U Want".
