\"Bruno and I have a lot of mutual respect for each other and were talking about collaborating,\" Gaga said in a statement of how the song came to be. \"I was finishing up my own album in Malibu and one night after a long day he asked me to come to his studio to hear something he was working on.\"

\"It was around midnight when I got there and I was blown away when I heard what he had started making,\" she continued. \"We stayed up all night and finished writing and recording the song. Bruno's talent is beyond explanation. His musicianship and vision is next level. There's no one like him.\"

In a separate statement, Mars said, \"Getting to work with Gaga has been an honor. She's an icon and she makes this song magical. I'm so excited for everyone to hear it.\"

The pair had teased their collab in the days leading up to its release, Gaga hinting at it by wearing a shirt with Mars on it and vice versa.
