If there’s one figure in the music industry who knows a thing or two about going number one, it’s V legend Lady Gaga. And paired with the massive talent of music industry king Bruno Mars, Gaga is without a doubt heading back to the top spot with her newest single, ‘Die With a Smile.’
The already timeless hit (and music video) plays zero games and gives it to us straight as a genuine power ballad that allows Gaga’s vocals to simply soar with Mars acting almost as an accompaniment during the building number.
The chorus alone cements the single as a instant classic: “If the world was ending / I’d wanna be next to you / If the party was over / And our time on Earth was through / I’d wanna hold you just for a while / And die with a smile / If the world was ending/ I’d wanna be next to you”
Gaga is also taking this moment to remind her fans that more new music is indeed headed our way. In an official post on Mother Monster’s Instagram, the caption reads, “WHILE YOU WAIT TILL LG7…” which has the internet screaming with paws fully up. The single also lands ahead of the release of the highly anticipated blockbuster Joker: Folie à Deux.
