ICYMI, Lady Gaga's eagerly anticipated fifth album dropped at midnight like nothing else mattered. And for those lucky enough to snag a ticket, the born-and-bred New Yorker celebrated the release with an intimate invite-only show sponsored by Bud Light at the historic Greenwich Village watering hole The Bitter End (a stone's throw away from her alma mater, NYU).
With thumping beats and soaring vocals, Joanne--named after the singer's late aunt, Joanne Stefani Germanotta, who passed away from complications of lupus at age 19 and has frequently been cited as an inspiration for the artist--is arguably her best album to date. Below, we rounded up the most empowering lyrics, because girl power.
1. "Some a-- broke me in / Wrecked all my innocence / I'll just keep go-go'n / And this dance is on you." --Lady Gaga, "Diamond Heart"
