In “911,” Gaga explores the role of antipsychotic medication and the effect it has had on her life.

The song’s hook was first teased in an interview with Paper Magazine.

On September 18, 2020, Gaga released the official music video which was heavily inspired by the 1969 Armenian movie The Color of Pomegranates. The conceptual video emphasizes Gaga’s reliance on her medication and the sudden way in which her brain cannot distort reality if not aided by pills.
