De soundtrack van “A Star Is Born” levert behalve de Top 40 hit “Shallow” met Bradley Cooper meer potentiële hits op. Vandaag lanceert Gaga de video voor de single “I`ll Never Love Again”. Beide songs maken deel uit van de omvangrijke soundtrack voor de speelfilm “A Star Is Born”, waar eerder Barbra Streisand in schitterde (1976). Cooper en Lady Gaga vervullen de hoofdrollen in alweer de derde remake van de film, die origineel in 1937 verscheen. Janet Gaynor won er in 1937 een Oscar voor de vrouwelijke hoofdrol mee.
Er kleven diepe emoties achter dit nummer. Lady Gaga: “My very, very, very dear friend Sonja died of cancer that day. We were supposed to shoot in, like, 30 minutes, and I left the set because her husband called me and I could hear her in the background and I just got in the car and drove. I missed her by 15 minutes and she died. I literally laid with her, with her husband, and their dog, and his son…. When I came back, Bradley was so gentle with me and we got through it. I performed the song. He was like, ‘You don’t have to do it again. It’s okay.’ All I wanted to do was sing. I’ll never forget that day. It was really a special scene, and I’ll always remember that moment.”
