“Born This Way,” Lady Gaga’s new single by the forthcoming album of the same name, is finally here, and almost (almost) lives up to the incredible hype.
Working in shout-outs to every ethnic background and minority group under the sun, the lyrics sound like they were written in 10 minutes, as she claims.
But the hook – “don’t be a drag, just be a queen” – may well go down as the latest mantra for Gaga followers, the millions of Little Monsters everywhere.
The track is fun, it’s catchy and fosters her message of all-embracing equality. In short, vintage Lady Gaga. Take a listen here and tell us if you agree:
