“LADY GAGA AND BRUNO MARS JUST RELEASED A TIMELESS CLASSIC,” @allurequinn declared on X, garnering 12,000 likes.
Listeners could not only hear the new single, but also an accompanying video clip.
The four-minute clip, directed by Daniel Ramos and Bruno Mars, features the two pop stars in the same outfits as on the cover.
Lady Gaga harks back to the ’60s, wearing a mini dress with a flared skirt, bright red tights, a bow scarf and pointy heels.
The color-blocking look is completed with a strawberry blonde wig with a flock of curls à la Dolly Parton.
Mars wears a blue suit with her and a red button-up shirt tucked into his pants.
His streamlined appearance is accentuated by a white cowboy hat, a gold chain and a particularly striking moustache.
The entire video takes place in one space: a radiant stage where the unexpected duo play their own instruments and deliver a sultry, passionate performance.

The cover and music video featured the duo dressed in matching blue and red western-inspired looks for him and her.
Gaga, born Stefani Germanotta, operates a keyboard with a retro look and a cigarette hanging from the corner of her mouth.
The Poker Face hitmaker hinted at the collaboration earlier this week when she shared a video of herself sitting behind a white piano wearing a T-shirt with Bruno’s image on the front.
As she pounded on the piano for a few seconds, fans now knew she was playing the instrumental version of the dreamy song.
On Thursday, she posted a black-and-white photo of herself as her newest character, with the name “LADY MARS,” on Instagram Stories.
