Bad Romance
Doomed love affair
Bad Romance is a 2009 pop song by Lady Gaga, one of her signature hits.
The phrase itself captures a relationship that's dysfunctional yet compelling—passionate despite being harmful: They keep breaking up and getting back together; it's a bad romance.
The song's title has become shorthand for toxic attraction.
