"Don't Call Tonight" is a 2025 song by Lady Gaga, originally released on her studio album Mayhem. The song was written by Lady Gaga, Andrew Watt, Henry Walter (also known as Cirkut), and Michael Polansky.
Composition
Variety said the song has "another chunky Chic guitar, and a vintage 1970s vocoder segment, a treatment that has been heard on everything from ELO's 'Mr. Blue Sky' to multiple Daft Punk songs".[1] Riff magazine said the song "harkens back to The Fame, The Fame Monster and Born This Way. Like other cuts, it employs four-on-the-floor rhythm with a splash of production values similar to 2014's ARTPOP. It's about discouraging a partner from calling for a meaningless hookup."[2]
Reception
Billboard said, "Where 'How Bad Do U Want Me' falls flat with its power-pop leanings, the funk-injected 'Don't Call Tonight' finds a little bit more life in its talkbox-assisted bridge, where Gaga delves just that little bit into something fresh on a song that otherwise feels strangely tame for Mother Monster. The pre-chorus and chorus seem primed to remind audiences of The Fame Monster standout 'Alejandro' at each new turn of phrase — the problem is that 'Alejandro' is just a much better song. Still, 'Don't Call Tonight' manages to pull itself up enough by the song's end."[3] NME called the song "an evocative and anthemic snapshot of a toxic relationship" that "is begging to be belted out in front of 70,000 lit-up smartphones".[4]
