Lady Gaga has hinted her new song is about her split from Taylor Kinney.
The 30-year-old star has appeared to suggest her new track 'Perfect
Illusion' is about the break up of her relationship with the 'Chicago
Fire' actor.
She explained: "It is about love. Of course it is. It is about all kinds
of relationships, every kind of love in your life and mine. And I think
it's both sides - it's not really from the woman's perspective this
song - it was important to me that men, when they heard this song, felt
connected to women even though the song is essentially about a barrier
between us.
"The song essentially is about how I believe that many of us are
wondering why so many fake things that are around us appear to be real.
They appear to be so real and it's almost impossible to decipher anymore
what is authentic and what isn't."
The 'Bad Romance' hitmaker admits she finds it difficult to meet new people.
She added: "It's not that easy to meet new people, no, like just
strangers which I miss, I do. I will also be good speaking to strangers,
which is really not a thing to teach to children, I find people
interesting. I still make friends; it's just not like it used to be I
guess."
Meanwhile, Gaga also revealed the song has a second meaning - the facade of social media.
She told The Sun newspaper: "You're scrolling through social media or
going through Instagram and you're overloaded with things that are
filtered and in a way I believe that that has seeped into personal
relationships, dating and friendship, so what's happening is we're
trying to establish human connections but we're doing it through falling
in love with a perfect illusion. So I say in this song, 'dilated
falling free in this modern ecstasy', and that's what 'Perfect Illusion'
is all about."
