Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s latest song
“Rain On Me” is officially out, so please
excuse us while we go add this to our social
distancing playlist and dance around our houses
all weekend.
Hey, everyone it’s Emile Ennis Jr. here
with Clevver News and Chromatica is already
proving to be well worth the wait!
Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s new single
“Rain On Me” is incredible and the music
video brings it to new heights.
Little Monsters have been waiting three plus
years for LG6, ever since Joanne came out
in October 2016.
Gaga blessed us all with her first single
Stupid Love off her new album, which we now
know is called Chromatica, back in February.
But unfortunately, in March, Gaga announced
that her album’s release had to be pushed
back due to the current global crisis.
In her post she wrote, “While I believe
art is one of the strongest things we have
to provide joy and healing to each other during
times like this, it just doesn't feel right
to me to release this album with all that
is going on in the world."
She also revealed that she had a surprise
appearance at Coachella in the works slated
for April, but as we all know that has since
been pushed back as well.
Gaga added, “I prefer that we spend this
time focusing on finding solutions.
It's important to me that the attention is
on getting essential medical equipment to
healthcare professionals, making sure kids
who depend on public schools for meals get
the assistance they need, and that we help
those who will be financially impacted."
But we are officially one week out from Chromatica’s
full release and Gaga just dropped the song
of the summer with Ariana Grande.
Fans of both stars went wild after the song’s
release with many taking to Twitter to hype
up the single just moments after its release
with one fan writing quote, “Wow Lady Gaga
and Ariana Grande really did that, absolutely
speechless.
What a SERVE HOLY SHIT.”
Another wrote, “Literally sweating from
dancing so much to Rain On Me!!!!! the gays
are thriving!!!!”
Another person chimed in and thanked the singers
for their honest music writing, “Gosh I
appreciate the way how music can heal you
so much more than ever !!! @ladygaga @ArianaGrande
thank you for this amazing art.
I love you guys..”
Someone else added that this was exactly the
kind of song we need to carry us through the
rest of this dark time, and we can’t say
that we don’t agree.
The fan wrote, “Just the duo I needed to
get me through isolation!!!
#RainOnMe.”
And possibly our favorite tweet of the release
was when Billy Eichner wrote, “Listening
to Rain on Me while sterilizing my door knobs.”
If that’s not relatable content I’m not
sure what is!
And just for a little back story, Ari and
Gaga’s friendship hasn’t always been the
way it is now, in fact, it started out just
the opposite.
While on Apple’s Beats 1 with Zane Lowe,
Gaga opened up about her friendship with Ariana
and how she feared she would be a bad influence
on Ari.
She said quote, "She was so persistent.
She would try over and over again to be friends
with me.
And I was too ashamed to hang out with her,
because I didn't want to project all of this
negativity onto something that was healing
and so beautiful."
Gaga also revealed that she has gone through
some “really hard life testing stuff”
before adding, “eventually she called me
on my sh*t.
She was, 'You're hiding.'
And I was like, 'I am hiding.
I'm totally hiding.'
And then this friendship blossomed."
And ladies and gentleman, that is how their
song “Rain On Me” was born, with Gaga
saying she wrote the song that night.
But when it comes to her new album Chromatica,
well, Gaga just has one simple message for
you saying, “If you're listening to this
album and you're suffering in any type of
way, just know that that suffering within
itself is a sign of your humanity and you
are not broken."
And, to seal the deal on this ultra sweet
friendship, Ariana shared a heartfelt post
just minutes after the song's release.
In the post, she said, “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 who’s heart was bigger than her whole
body.
She immediately felt like a sister to me.
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 mothafinnnn cry ! I hope this
makes you all feel as uplifted as it does
for us both.
I love u Lady Gaga, you stunning superwoman!”
Gaga also had some sweet words of her own
to share writing, “One time I felt like
I was crying so much it would never stop.
Instead of fighting it, I thought bring it
on, I can do hard things.
Ariana Grande I love you for your strength
and friendship.
Let’s show them what we’ve got.
And speaking of the music video, we HAVE to
talk about it.
It was 
the dance party we didn’t know we needed
and fans are saying it’s got all the best
things about both Gaga and Ari all in one
video.
One person commented on the vid writing quote,
“Director : how iconic do you want this
video to be?
Ari & Gaga : Yes”
Another person agreed chiming in with “oxford
dictionary should change iconic's definition
to this video”
And another fan added “This is a cultural
reset.
PERIODT”
And we couldn’t agree more.
Everything from the costumes, to the choreography,
to the PURE LOVE between them.
I mean can we roll the tapes on that shot
of Gaga and Ari embracing from the end of
the video.
But I want to know what you guys think about
all of this, be sure to let us know in the
comments below what you think of Lady Gaga
and Ariana’s new collab and what your favorite
part of the music video is.
