In a world drowned by fleeting trends, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars have done the unthinkable: they’ve stopped time. On Friday the 16th, the iconic artists shared a duet, “Die With A Smile.” It’s a masterclass in heartfelt poetry—a powerful ballad that speaks to a love so deep and enduring it transcends time and circumstance. Above all, it’s a duet most didn’t know the pop world needed, but one we should all be so glad now exists.

At its core, “Die With a Smile” doesn’t just evoke the golden era of duets—it revitalizes it, reminding us why two voices, perfectly in sync, can tell a story more compelling than most solo acts could. The synergy between Gaga and Mars is palpable at every turn. Their souls pour out from the start, voices weaving together with an effortless and profound harmony. Gaga is unrivaled, while Bruno’s soaring notes are simply brilliant.

Of course, these two couldn’t just leave us with an incredible song. The release is accompanied by a video co-directed by Daniel Ramos and Bruno Mars, which blends timelessness with glamour and a touch of surrealism.  Channeling a 60s-inspired aesthetic, both artists don Western outfits and passionately sing as if lost in the moment. Gaga’s beehive towers over her piano, with a cigarette affixed to her lips, while Mars complements her with a cowboy hat.

Nostalgic and captivating, the visual—like the song—pays homage to the enduring artistry of Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. Together, they’ve crafted a duet that’ll be celebrated for years to come.
