Pop star Lady Gaga on Friday released
her gay anthem Born This Way.
The title single from her second studio
album to be released in May was released two days earlier than
previously announced.
Before the song was released, celebrity
blogger Perez Hilton told MTV News that the song was
“gay-in-your-face gay.”
“It is a very gay song –
unapologetically, gay-in-your-face gay – but it's also a universal
song that can relate to everyone. To all us outsiders, to all of us
freaks, to all of us who feel different. And the music is
undeniable. It sounds like a smash. It is a smash. It is one of
the best songs of Gaga's career.”
In a cover story for the March issue of
Vogue, Lady Gaga said, “I wrote [Born This Way] in 10
fucking minutes. And it is a completely magical song. And after I
wrote it, the gates just opened, and the songs kept coming. It was
like an immaculate conception.”
The song, according to Vogue, is
“an unbelievably great dance song, destined to be the anthem of
every gay-pride event for the next 100 years.” (Listen
