New Music: Lady Gaga – ‘Born This Way (The Country Road Version)’

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga gives new life to her record-breaking single “Born This Way” with the newly released “Country Road Version” produced by Gaga and Fernando Garibay. The pop darling slows down the club anthem, adding new vocals and giving it a bluegrassy vibe. “If I want to make it country, baby it’s OK/ ‘Cause I was born, I was born, I was born this way,” she sings over the harmonica and guitar-laced melody. Listen to Gaga go country below.
