Released yesterday (15 August), the video sees Gaga and Mars giving 1970s Nashville aesthetics, sporting matching denim outfits.

In a statement, Gaga revealed the spontaneous nature of the release: “I was finishing up my own album in Malibu and one night after a long day [Bruno] asked me to come to his studio to hear something he was working on. We stayed up all night and finished writing and recording the song.”
