Following its release, “Shallow” became one of the biggest hits of 2018, reaching number five on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping other charts internationally.

“It’s just kind of like really beautiful,” Gaga said of the single’s success during her Variety Actors on Actor interview with Lin-Manuel Miranda. “Because I know that it’s connecting with every single person completely differently, and that is really a special thing.”

She went on to say that, to her, the song represents “a conversation between a man and a woman, and he actually listens to her”.

“I think we live in a time when this is something that’s really important to women,” stressed Gaga, adding that she feels “Shallow” is “one of the most authentic things I’ve ever written”.

“Women want to be heard.”

Congratulations to Lady Gaga and the rest of the A Star Is Born team.
