Lady Gaga took to social media to announce that her next song, a single in conjunction with the upcoming film Top Gun: Maverick, will release on May 3, 2022.
Top Gun: Maverick is directed by Kosinski, who previously worked with Cruise in Oblivion, from a screenplay written by Peter Craig, Justin Marks, and Eric Warren Singer.
Top Gun: Maverick is set in a world of drone technology and fifth-generation fighters, and explores the end of the era of dogfighting.
She also thanked Tom Cruise, Hans Zimmer (who did the score for Top Gun: Maverick), and director Joseph Kosinski for the opportunity, and said that she considers the song “a love letter to the world.”
