Lady Gaga’s latest track, “Garden of Eden,” from her 2025 album Mayhem, has sparked controversy. It is known for its provocative reinterpretation of biblical themes. This has raised concerns among some Christians about blasphemy.

The electro-dance anthem was released on March 7, 2025 by Lady Gaga, who often claims she is a Catholic.
However, this song transforms the sacred narrative of the Garden of Eden—found in Genesis 2-3—into a hedonistic celebration of temptation. It indulges in a way that critics argue mocks Christian values. Critics also say it distorts Scripture.

Lady Gaga Portrays Herself as Satan, Blasphemes the Bible in New Song, ‘Garden of Eden’
In the Bible, the Garden of Eden represents humanity’s original state of innocence. Adam and Eve lived in harmony with God until the serpent tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. This act led to the Fall.
Gaga’s song, however, recasts this story as a seductive nightclub fantasy.
Lyrics like “Take you to the Garden of Eden / Poison apple, take a bite” portray Gaga as the serpent. She entices listeners into sin rather than warning against it. The “poison apple”—a clear nod to the forbidden fruit—becomes a symbol of reckless desire, stripped of its consequences.
The pulsing beat and euphoric chants of “I’ll t-t-take you to the Garden of Eden” further glamorize this surrender to temptation. They present it as a thrilling escape rather than a moral failing.
Christians argue this inverts the biblical message.
Genesis portrays the Fall as a tragic loss of divine favor. In contrast, Gaga’s track revels in the act of transgression. This aligns with her history of challenging religious norms—seen in songs like “Judas,” where she embraced betrayal over virtue.
The song’s party-girl persona stumbles in “nine-inch heels” and offers “more candy.” It evokes a world of excess. This clashes with the humility and obedience central to Christian teachings.
Posts on X have highlighted this tension. The Exorcist Report calls it a “glorification of vice” that “stands in opposition to Christian virtue.”
Gaga’s defenders could see it as artistic expression. It blends her early 2000s pop roots with bold commentary. However, Christians see this as a deliberate affront. The act transforms a sacred space into a warehouse rave.
This isn’t the first time Gaga mocked faith, particularly Christianity. She mocks Catholicism in the “Alejandro” music video, falls “in love” with Judas Iscariot, Jesus’ betrayer, in her song, “Judas,” and mocks Saint Mary Magdalene in “Bloody Mary.”
By turning a sacred space into a warehouse rave “with God in the DJ booth,” as Pitchfork noted her new song,“Garden of Eden” risks trivializing a foundational Christian story, prioritizing fleeting pleasure over eternal truth—a move some faithful see as blasphemous mockery of the Bible’s sanctity.
Pray for Lady Gaga’s conversion and in reparation for this blasphemy against the Christian faith!
