Written by Gaga, Hillary Lindsey and Mark Ronson, so basically we owe the existence of "Shallow", "I'll Never Love Again" and "Always Remember Us This Way" to this initial collaboration.
The track reached #4 on the Hot 100 but gained very little traction internationally (#39 UK, #16 Canada, #34 Australia). It was still a very strong return to form after whatever she was trying to do with "Perfect Illusion". Her performance of it on the Super Bowl halftime show was one of the strongest part of her already very strong show. "Shallow" and other A Star is Born tracks might be better, but at that point this was easily her strongest ballad yet. Neck and neck with "John Wayne" as the best song from Joanne IMO. The video is tragic for all the wrong reasons. It got a nod for Best Pop Solo Performance, but lost to Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You".

It was her best ballad at that point in her career. An amazing song and vocal performance.

Probably her best ballad and one of her best tracks, I was not a big fan of Joanne but this song has certainly stuck with me. It's so genuine and raw.

I was really hoping this would blow the f**k up on radio after it finally started gaining traction, so it's disappointing that it stalled out in the teens. Even more so that they didn't do more with the era afterwards (but I guess it can still be chalked up as a win since the album was a decent #1-seller, this was a big Hot 100 hit and she still got a Grammy out of the deal with the title track).

She wrote a very good melody. I was glad it became a hit for her, the hit of that era actually if I'm not mistaken.

Her best performance of this song. The vocals, the dramatics, the poise >>

It's a nice song. Definitely the best thing on Joanne.

I like it, but it would have been a lot better if it didn't sound like it was recorded in a tin can.

Its performance in Hot 100 was saved by the SuperBowl. But the song in itself is great

Absolutely love the hook but the verses kinda stop it from being a favourite for me.

I've never cared for the studio version of this, the live performances are on another level.
