Lady Gaga’s ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Song ‘Hold My Hand’

Read Time:1 Minute, 7 Second

Lady Gaga has released the video for “Hold My Hand,” the power ballad she co-penned and performs for Paramount/Skydance’s upcoming Top Gun: Maverick, which had its world premiere on Wednesday in San Diego. Watch it above.

Attendees at CinemaCon in Las Vegas got their first taste of the song when the Tom Cruise sequel screened for exhibition last Thursday, and it’s another in Gaga’s and the Top Gun canon that could go all the way to the Oscars.

The original Top Gun won a Best Original Song Academy Award for Tom Whitlock and Giorgio Moroder’s “Take My Breath Away” which was performed by Berlin for the 1986 film. Gaga won an Oscar in the same category for A Star Is Born’s “Shallow” in 2019.

Written and produced by Gaga and BloodPop, with additional production from Benjamin Rice, “Hold My Hand” plays over the end credits of the film which blew the doors off of the Colosseum at Caesars Palace last week. As Deadline’s Pete Hammond noted of the Joseph Kosinski-directed Maverick, it “proves to be perfection as an example of the lost art of what makes a big-scale Hollywood movie.” (Deadline)
