Pop music just got a little more iconic with the release of Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ highly anticipated duet, “Die With A Smile.” The dynamic duo, both Grammy-winning artists with legions of fans worldwide, dropped the new single alongside a visually stunning music video, and it’s already making waves in the music world.
The song, which was only announced hours before its release, features the signature styles of both artists. Blending Gaga’s powerhouse vocals with Bruno’s soulful tones, “Die With A Smile” is a ballad that resonates with emotion and intensity. The lyrics speak to love, connection, and the poignant beauty of life’s fleeting moments.
“If the world was ending / I’d wanna be next to you / If the party was over / And our time on Earth was through,” they sing in unison. “I’d wanna hold you just for a while / And die with a smile / If the world was ending / I’d wanna be next to you.” The words, simple yet profound, capture the essence of cherishing love even in the face of inevitable endings.
In a press release, both Gaga and Bruno opened up about the creative process behind the song. Gaga shared that the collaboration was something that had been brewing for a while, stemming from mutual admiration and respect for each other’s work. “Bruno and I have a lot of mutual respect for each other and were talking about collaborating,” she explained. “I was finishing up my own album in Malibu and one night after a long day he asked me to come to his studio to hear something he was working on.”
What happened next was nothing short of magical. Gaga recalled the moment vividly: “It was around midnight when I got there and I was blown away when I heard what he had started making. We stayed up all night and finished writing and recording the song. Bruno’s talent is beyond explanation. His musicianship and vision is next level. There’s no one like him.”
The collaboration didn’t just happen by chance – it was a meeting of minds and musical geniuses. Bruno Mars, known for his hit songs and electrifying performances, was equally enthusiastic about the partnership. “Getting to work with Gaga has been an honor. She’s an icon and she makes this song magical. I’m so excited for everyone to hear it.”
The music video, released simultaneously with the track, adds another layer of depth to the song. Directed by a top-notch team, the video features stunning visuals that complement the song’s themes of love and finality. The aesthetic is both modern and timeless, much like the artists themselves.

[Intro: Lady Gaga]
(Ooh, ooh)
[Verse 1: Bruno Mars]
I, I just woke up from a dream
Where you and I had to say goodbye
And I don’t know what it all means
But since I survived, I realized
[Pre-Chorus: Bruno Mars]
Wherever you go, that’s where I’ll follow
Nobody’s promised tomorrow
So I’ma love you every night like it’s the last night
Like it’s the last night
[Chorus: Bruno Mars]
If the world was ending
I’d wanna be next to you
If the party was over
And our time on Earth was through
I’d wanna hold you just for a while
And die with a smile
If the world was ending
I’d wanna be next to you
[Post-Chorus: Lady Gaga]
(Ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2: Lady Gaga, Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars]
Ooh, lost, lost in the words that we scream
I don’t even wanna do this anymore
‘Cause you already know what you mean to me
And our love’s the only one worth fighting for
[Pre-Chorus: Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars]
Wherever you go, that’s where I’ll follow
Nobody’s promised tomorrow
So I’ma love you every night like it’s the last night
Like it’s the last night
[Chorus: Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga]
If the world was ending
I’d wanna be next to you
If the party was over
And our time on Earth was through
I’d wanna hold you just for a while
And die with a smile
If the world was ending
I’d wanna be next to you
[Bridge: Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga & Both]
Right next to you
Next to you
Right next to you
Oh-oh
[Chorus: Lady Gaga, Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars, Bruno Mars]
If the world was ending
I’d wanna be next to you
If the party was over
And our time on Earth was through
I’d wanna hold you just for a while
And die with a smile
If the world was ending
I’d wanna be next to you
If the world was ending
I’d wanna be next to you
[Outro: Lady Gaga, Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars]
(Ooh, ooh)
I’d wanna be next to you
