‘Hold My Hand’ is set to appear in the new Tom Cruise movie Top Gun: Maverick.
Lady Gaga has dropped a stunning new song, her first single in more than two years.
Hold My Hand was written and produced by Gaga and BloodPop®, with additional production from Benjamin Rice.
Announcing the track via social media on April 27, the singer said:
“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,” she continued.
“I wanted to make music into a song where we share our deep need to both be understood and try to understand each other—a longing to be close when we feel so far away and an ability to celebrate life’s heroes.”

On Monday, during the latest leg of her Jazz & Piano concert residency held at the Park Theater of the Park MGM, Mother Monster took to Instagram sharing a photo of herself planting a kiss on the Top Gun actor as well as a snap giving her a sweet kiss in return. “Thank you for coming to the show last night. I love you my friend @tomcruise.”
In the new movie, Tom Cruise returns as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a courageous test pilot who dodges the advancement in rank that would ground him. He finds himself training a detachment of TOPGUN graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign: “Rooster,” the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose.”
Top Gun: Maverick, the sequel to 1986’s Top Gun, hits theatres on Friday, May 27. Check out the ‘Hold My Hand’ here or below:
