I started to work on an idea for a song that I really wanted to do with a girl.

Youll see why when you see what the song is about.

When asked about working on the single, Gaga said she wrote lyrics for the track on a typewriter.

I work on a typewriter and we would bounce new lyrics back and forth, she said.

We stripped everything away.

Changed the melody, shifted it.

I sat at piano, Kevin was on guitar, Mark was on the bass.

How do we navigate through social media?

There are also a lot of things on the internet that are not reality.

And I think people are pressured to keep that personal illusion going on in their real lives.

So this song is about raging against it and letting it go.

Its about wanting people to re-establish that human connection.
