You see what I mean right? Yeah, it could be a breathy, sexy torch song, but it could also be incredibly emo. I’m not quite sure what kind of emo, it could be paired right along with the jangly guitars of a classic midwest emo, or it could aim for the sensibilities of pop-punk-tinged emo. Hell, maybe she’ll surprise us and go full screamo … Or aim for the sort of monotonous, story-like delivery of a band like Modern Baseball or The Front Bottoms. I mean, these could be lyrics to a My Chemical Romance song, but they could also be the lyrics to an American Football song. There are so many options, but I can’t wait to find out where she took this one.

According to Variety, the single will be featured throughout the film and was produced by Gaga and BloodPop, plus some additional production work by Benjamin Rice. “Top Gun: Maverick” does seem to be trafficking in some more emotional storylines than the original action flick, and looks like it will focus heavily on the relationship between callsign “Maverick” (I don’t need to tell you that’s Tom Cruise, but it is indeed Tom Cruise) and callsign “Rooster” (Miles Teller) who is the son of Maverick’s deceased pal, callsign “Goose” (played by Anthony Edwards in “Top Gun”).
So you know, there’s going to be some sad moments, and what could be better for those aching bouts of grief than a sick emo guitar riff?
