The deeply personal effort, which was directed by Gaga herself, runs a staggering 14 minutes long and finds LG stripped down and barely recognizable in the eerie video.
The dark nature of the visuals isn't surprising when you consider the song was inspired by one of the hardest times in Gaga's life. In an interview with E! News, LG described why she penned the single after being dropped by her first label Island Def Jam.
"It was one of the worst days of my life and it happened quite quickly, but in my mind, when I think back on that period of my life, it all happened very slow. It is my personal way of seeing things," shares Gaga. "If you give up after something like that, you were never destined to be an entertainer."
"I love obstacles," Mother Monster continues. "To marry your obstacles mean I, the artist, wholeheartedly accept everything you thorw at me. I am destined to struggle, I am destined to write music about the struggle, and I accept it willingly."
Does Gaga have a future as a director? Is this her most triumphant video yet? Watch it below and let us know!
