Why you wanted the song to sound even more powerful?
''The melody was beautiful, but maybe it didn't go to the place I felt that it needed to go for it to, at the end, arrive in a triumphant place,'' Gaga said.
How emotional was this to record this song?
"I know I feel really and truly like I bared my soul," Gaga said. "It wasn't until I was almost, I think, 27 years old that I did even acknowledge that this happened in my life. Like, 'Oh yeah, that.'"
Warren has provided the words and melodies for some of the biggest voices in music, including "If I Could Turn Back Time," performed by Cher; "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith; and "Because You Loved Me," sung by Celine Dion. Warren also has written more than 250 Top 100 hits, wich 70 reached the Top 10 and has been working for 30 years in the music business.
