I’ve been working on it for years, perfecting it, trying to make it ours,” she wrote. Adding, “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… 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.” Gaga will release “Hold My Hand” on May 3 ahead of the “Top Gun: Maverick” premiere on May 27.

The songstress teased the song earlier this week, tweeting lyrics from the new track. “Hold my hand everything will be ok I heard from the heavens that clouds have been grey,” she tweeted on Monday night.
