"Drama!" is the first single released by Erasure from their fourth studio album Wild!. It was issued by Mute Records in the UK and Sire Records in the U.S.
Written by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, the synthpop song begins with a low-key keyboard line and a subdued vocal from Bell. As the song progresses, the instrumentation and vocals become more hectic, ultimately ending as a full-blown dancefloor anthem. "Drama!" is known for its mob-shouted "Guilty!" exclamation throughout and Bell's intricate, multi-layered background vocals. Lyrically the song addresses a person who could be considered a drama queen, experiencing "one psychological drama after another" about everyday struggles that are universal and are easily dealt with by most people. Lines such as "your shame is never-ending!" are directed at the subject of the song. The mob's vocals were added to by The Jesus and Mary Chain, who happened to be recording in the studio next door.
Released prior to Wild!, "Drama!" continued Erasure's winning streak on the UK singles chart, peaking at number four. In Germany the single also fared well, hitting number twelve. "Drama!" did not continue Erasure's chart success in the United States, where it failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100. It did, however, climb to number ten on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
Drama is the ninth studio album by the British female vocal duo Bananarama. It features eleven newly recorded tracks, along with a remix of their 1986 smash hit "Venus" (done by Soft Cell's Marc Almond) and a 2005 remix of their 1982 hit "Really Saying Something", an underground bootleg club hit produced by Solasso.
Drama is a comeback of sorts for Bananarama members Keren Woodward and Sara Dallin and is their first album to be released in their native UK since 1993. The album's first single "Move in My Direction" debuted on the UK Singles Chart at Number 14, also becoming their first UK Top 40 hit since 1993. The second single, "Look on the Floor (Hypnotic Tango)", also hit the UK Top 40, and climbed to Number 2 on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart as an import, becoming Bananarama's biggest US dancefloor hit since "Venus" two decades earlier.
The album mostly incorporates pop and eurodance musical styles, with some synthpop elements. Drama charted at a number 169 in the UK. It was later released in the United States (both in retail stores and as digital downloads) in 2006. While the album performed well on Billboard's Top Electronic Albums chart, peaking at number 21, it did not chart on the Billboard 200, the US Pop Albums chart.
In the context of film and radio, drama describes a genre of narrative fiction (or semi-fiction) intended to be more serious than humorous in tone, focusing on in-depth development of realistic characters who must deal with realistic emotional struggles. A drama is commonly considered the opposite of a comedy, but may also be considered separate from other works of some broad genre, such as a fantasy. To distinguish drama as a genre of fiction from the use of the same word to mean the general storytelling mode of live performance, the word drama is often included as part of a phrase to specify its meaning. For instance, in the sense of a television genre, more common specific terms are a drama show, drama series, or television drama in the United States; dramatic programming in the United Kingdom; or teledrama in Sri Lanka. In the sense of a film genre, the common term is a drama film.
Dramatic themes such as alcoholism, child abuse, coming of age, drug addiction, emotion, hope, infidelity, moral dilemmas, racial prejudice, religious intolerance, sexuality, poverty, class divisions, violence against women and corruption put characters in conflict with themselves, others, society, or even natural phenomena. Drama is one of the broadest movie genres and includes subgenres such as romantic drama, war films, sport films, period drama, courtroom drama and crime.

Damn, I let my guard down, that's fucked up
I let yo' ass in when I shoulda kept you locked out
But it's all gravy, it happen to all of us, you know?
You get hurt, you hurt back, you reap what you sow
In the beginning when I met you
I didn't mean to be rude but I had to sweat you
'Cause you had me wet, ooh, I couldn't let you get away
'Cause then, when will I see you again another day
Your face was all I needed to see on a daily basis
And my heart in your hands would make it all gravy
But I was mistaken highly, you slid shit right by me
Bein' deceitful and hiding, keepin' secrets
But still keepin' me smilin', invitin' hoes to your party
Lord knows, I don't wanna get started, I'ma hurt somebody
Regardless I'ma love you for what we been through
But keepin' you is somethin' I can't do
If you get somebody, not just anybody
Get somebody who's gon' love you like nobody
Get somebody, don't tell everybody
'Cause somebody gon' try to crash yo' party
If you get somebody, not just anybody
Get somebody who's gon' love you like nobody
Get somebody, don't tell everybody
'Cause somebody gon' try to crash yo' party
As much as I miss ya, I can't get wit' cha
We painted a perfect picture
But I can see clearer now that the rain is gone
But the pains still come on strong
Every so often I get discombobulated
Call in Miss Cleo to see what the tarot cards are sayin'
Hopin' that she know how to help a bitch out or suttin'
Give me your lucky number to come up on motherfuckers
That keep frontin', I'm no fool, you only get one strike here
Blew it, so I won't be right here
The best friend you claimed that you ever had is gone
And it happened because you left me alone
Sing a song for me
If you get somebody, not just anybody
Get somebody who's gon' love you like nobody
Get somebody, don't tell everybody
'Cause somebody gon' try to crash yo' party
If you get somebody, not just anybody
Get somebody who's gon' love you like nobody
Get somebody, don't tell everybody
'Cause somebody gon' try to crash yo' party
An' now that it's over that predicament taught me
To be a soldier an' stay at attention
Fold my collar up an' pop it an' keep hollarin'
At the rich niggaz with deep pockets that keep me goin' shoppin'
I'm better now than ever now
You never found somebody quite like me to stay down
Whatever is meant to be, be that
And whoever is sent to me, be crashed
If you get somebody, not just anybody
Get somebody who's gon' love you like nobody
Get somebody, don't tell everybody
'Cause somebody gon' try to crash yo' party
If you get somebody, not just anybody
Get somebody who's gon' love you like nobody
Get somebody, don't tell everybody
'Cause somebody gon' try to crash yo' party
Check it out, no matter what you do
You cant let 'em crash your party
Get you somebody that's gonna
Lad dee da dee who came to party
If you get somebody, not just anybody
If you get somebody, not just anybody
If you get somebody, not just anybody
Get somebody who's gon' love you like nobody
Get somebody, don't tell everybody
'Cause somebody gon' try to crash yo' party
If you get somebody, not just anybody
Get somebody who's gon' love you like nobody
Get somebody, don't tell everybody
'Cause somebody gon' try to crash yo' party
If you get somebody, not just anybody
