Lady Gaga performed a new song that she wrote with fiancé Michael Polansky at the FireAid Concert for L.A. wildfire victims on Thursday, January 30.
“I thought I wanted to do something hopeful for you. And I was thinking about my songs and there wasn’t anything that seemed quite right,” the singer said to introduce her final song in a video that’s circulating online.
“So me and my friend Michael — my fiancé, my love — we wrote this song for you,” she said. “It’s just for tonight. It’s just for you. I think we all need a lot of things right now, but I think something we may also need is time. Time is a healer.”
The upbeat song features the lyrics: “All I need is time/ All I need is time/ To heal my broken wings/ And then I’ll soar/ All I need is time/ To leave it all behind/ All I need is time/ To leave it all behind/ And keep moving forward.”
Gaga (whose real name is Stefani Germanotta) was among a star-studded lineup of performers at the benefit event to support those affected by the L.A. wildfires. Katy Perry, Billie Eilish, and Olivia Rodrigo also performed at the show, which took place at two venues and was streamed on YouTube, Netflix, Disney Plus, and TikTok.
The shows were attended by Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff, Jessica Alba, Rod Stewart, and his wife Penny.
Gaga and Polansky have been dating since 2019 and confirmed their engagement in July 2024.
The pair first connected when Gaga’s mom, Cynthia Germanotta, met Polansky at a charity event over five years ago.
“I’ve met your future husband,” Cynthia is said to have told her daughter at the time.
The FireAid concert wasn’t the first time the duo have worked together. Polansky is credited as an executive producer on Gaga’s forthcoming album, Mayhem, which is set for release on Friday, March 7.
“This album was so much fun to watch her make,” Polansky told Elle in an interview for Gaga’s February cover story.
“She recorded it right down the street from our house, so we could easily walk back and forth from the studio. I spent a lot of time with her, bringing my laptop to work while she was there. What surprised me most was how fast she is. I couldn’t believe how quickly a song would take shape. Within five minutes, 80 percent of the song would have come from nothing,” he said.
