Lady Gaga Debuts 'Princess Die' Live in Australia

Comment

Last night in Melbourne, Australia Lady Gaga debuted a new song live for the crowd on her Born This Way Ball tour. Entitled "Princess Die," Gaga isn't sure if the ballad will appear on her next album and said the track doesn't reflect the overall vibe of her upcoming work.

"This song is a little bit sad. And it's in no way reflective of the rest of music on the album, but it's about some of the most deep and personal thoughts I've ever had," she tells the crowd.

Gaga has already completed her upcoming album and will reveal the title in September. She is currently on the Australian leg of her world tour through July 8th and will begin touring Europe on August 14th.

Song Stories

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
