Lady Gaga’s song A-YO just dropped, and we’re in love

It seems like Lady Gaga is definitely showcasing her creativity these days. She’s still a cast member in this season of American Horror Story, and she has a brand new album, called Joanne, coming out shortly. This afternoon, she dropped a new single from the album for those who decided to pre-order — it’s called A-YO, and it’s absolutely perfect.

The song is definitely influenced by both rock and funk. It had a few creative minds behind it — besides Gaga herself, A-YO was put together by Mark Ronson, Hillary Lindsey, and BloodPop. If you have yet to pre-order (and, come on now — you know the album will be phenomenal) here’s a live version of the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb6MdbZ6hn0

Ronson actually helped Gaga with the entire album, and seemed incredibly impressed with the collaboration.

"Her singing and writing are so strong and present and such a dominating color that you never nerve to really worry about that," Ronson said in an interview with Rolling Stone. "She's the glue. Everybody came in in such a natural way and heard what we were working on and found their way to fit in."

Gaga also recently introduced the cover art for the new single. We have to say, it’s pretty stunning.

And, well… judging by the amount of listens that A-YO received, we have no problem assuming that Joanne is going to be charting high.
