Lady Gaga's 'Joanne' Is A Powerful Ballad About Losing A Loved One Too Soon

January 26, 2018

Lady Gaga has released a new song titled "Joanne" and it's absolutely beautiful. The song is about her aunt, Joanne, who died at the age of 19 from Lupus. Her father was only 15 when she died.

"The death of her in his family and life left a scar that never healed," Gaga said in an interview with Beats 1. "As I returned to my home life and spending time with my friends and family and getting out of the mainstream limelight for a minute, the experiences of our family and our challenges that make us who we are. It’s everything about Joanne, which also happens to be my middle name (I was named after her). It’s all the toughness of the pain of losing her that made us all strong and made us who we are. She is the woman of my past who is becoming and helping me bring more of my honest woman self into the future."
