Lady Gaga is providing a song for Top Gun: Maverick. Fans can listen to “Hold My Hand” on May 3 before the movie takes to the skies on May 27. On social media, the pop star posted the lyrics earlier this week. “Hold my hand everything will be ok, I heard from the heavens that clouds have been grey,” Gaga teased. On the more cinematic side of music, Harold Faltermeyer and Hans Zimmer will be handling the film’s score. The Academy Award winner being a part of that effort will only raise anticipation for this long-awaited sequel. Paramount is betting big on legacy content like most other players in streaming right now. Theatrically, the company decided to bring in the big guns for a summer blockbuster. Most theater-goers would agree that Tom Cruise in one of his most iconic roles would fit the bill.
When I wrote this song for Top Gun: Maverick, I didn’t even realize the multiple layers it spanned across the film’s heart, my own psyche, and the nature of the world we’ve been living in. I’ve been working on it for years, perfecting it, trying to make it ours. pic.twitter.com/1GReWGW8Ql
