"Brown Eyes" is a song written by Lou Reed for David Bowie, but he rejected the song, and in 2009 recorded a demo; so Lady Gaga and Rob Fusari (Team Love Child) in 2006 bought the copyright of this song. It is known as her most autobiographical track on The Fame. The concept behind the song is something most people can relate to, a love lost. The title of the song can be heard in "Again Again". Vocals for the song were recorded after "a lot of red wine and crying", in one single take, and first preformed live at The Mirage Club on August 18, 2008.
