Lady Gaga’s first single in over two years, titled “Hold My Hand,” will be featured in the upcoming film Top Gun: Maverick.
“When I wrote this song for Top Gun: Maverick, I didn’t even realize the multiple layers it spanned across the film’s heart, my own psyche, and the nature of the world we’ve been living in,” she wrote on Instagram. “I’ve been working on it for years, perfecting it, trying to make it ours. I wanted to make music into a song where we share our deep need to both be understood and try to understand each other — a longing to be close when we feel so far away and an ability to celebrate life’s heroes.”
The film will also feature compositions from legendary composer Hans Zimmer.
“I’m so grateful to Tom and Hans and Joe for this opportunity — and it’s been a beautiful experience working with them,” the Star is Born actress continued. “Me, BloodPop, Ben Rice, and everyone else who worked on it with us are so excited to share it to you. This song is a love letter to the world during and after a very hard time. I’ve wanted you to hear it for so long. And I’m so excited to give it to you on May 3.”
