When we were vocally producing her, I was sitting at the console and I said to her, “Everything that you care about while you sing, I want you to forget it and just sing. And by the way, while you’re doing that, I’m going to dance in front of you,” because we had this huge, big window. And she was like, “Oh my god, I can’t. I don’t know.” And then she started to do things with her voice that were different. And it was the joy of two artists going, “I see you.” Humans do this. We all do things to make ourselves feel safe, and I always challenge artists when I work with them, I go, “Make it super fucking unsafe and then do it again.” Show Honestly, 2020 has not been a walk in the park, and that is a massive understatement. Sometimes it seems like the only thing left to do (since having true fun isn’t really much of an option anymore, thanks, coronavirus) is cry it all out. And not just your standard *sniffle sniffle* boo-hoo kind of crying either—I’m talking the chest-rattling, nose-dripping type of crying that can only be cured by a damn good song. Enter: Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s now-iconic, multi-VMA-nominated hit, “Rain on Me.” If it seems like “Rain on Me” was created specifically to make you feel better about all the tears you shed and the hardships you went through this year, that’s kinda because…it’s the entire point of the song! In an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Gaga said: Ari echoed a pretty similar sentiment about the song’s meaning on Twitter and said that her and Gaga’s ability to lean into their pain allowed them to make the song the empowering pop anthem that it is. “One time…I met a woman who knew pain the same way I did…who cried as much as I did, drank as much wine as I did, ate as much pasta as I did, and whose heart was bigger than her whole body. She immediately felt like a sister to me,” she wrote. “She then held my hand and invited me into the beautiful world of Chromatica, and together, we got to express how beautiful and healing it feels to mothafuckinnnn cry! 🌧 I hope this makes u all feel as uplifted as it does for us both. I love u @LadyGaga, u stunning superwoman!” This content is imported from YouTube.
