Lady Gaga has been staying out of the spotlight for a while now, and she was noticeably absent at the Golden Globes tonight. However, she is still in the running for an award for Best Original Song for “Hold My Hand” from Top Gun: Maverick. The competition is tough, with artists like Rihanna and Taylor Swift also vying for the prize with their songs from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Where the Crawdads Sing, respectively.

In her latest Instagram post, she shared her excitement about being recognized for “Hold My Hand” and the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack. She thanked her fellow composers and expressed how much it meant to her to be a part of the celebration of music with a song that is close to her heart.

Reflecting on the significance of the song she wrote for Top Gun: Maverick, Gaga shared her thoughts at the end of April. She expressed how the song had deep meaning for both the film and her own emotions, as well as reflecting on the current state of the world. After years of perfecting the song, Gaga wanted it to convey the longing to be understood and to understand others, to feel connected even when physically apart, and to honor life’s heroes. Grateful for the opportunity to work with Tom, Hans, and Joe, Gaga was excited to share the song, titled “Hold My Hand,” which she described as a love letter to the world during and after difficult times. The collaboration with BloodPop, Ben Rice, and others had been a beautiful experience, and she couldn’t wait for the world to hear it on May 3.
