Lady Gaga - Born This Way

This past Friday, Lady Gaga released the highly anticipated leading single and titled track of her third album "Born This Way." She even proceeded to perform it at the 2011 Grammy Awards. Within hours, the track reached #1 on iTunes in over 20 countries around the world and is highly favored to become the 1000th #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100.


In regard to the song the track is an up-tempo anthem where Gaga proclaims "Don't be a drag, just a be a queen." Although somewhat cliche in it's lyrics, the track is another self-empowerment song specifically targeted to the the LGBT community and any other disenfranchised minority group. Commercial success withstanding, the song is a testament to Gaga's creativity as an artist and is sure to garner a lot of attention for the rest of the year.
