"I live for the way you cheer and scream for me," the US star explained. "Give me that thing that I love. Put your hands up, make them touch."

The 'Marry The Night' singer went on to explained the songwriting process behind 'Applause' and what the song means to her.

The 'Judas' singer has also revealed that music video for 'Applause' was filmed earlier this month.
