"Always Remember Us This Way" was recorded by Lady Gaga for the 2018 remake of the classic movie A Star is Born. Gaga, who plays rising star Ally, sings this twangy piano ballad at the end of a concert she is taking part in. The song was written at a Nashville writing camp hosted by Lady Gaga and producer David Cobb. Gaga penned the tune with: Natalie Hemby, whose other credits include Little Big Town's "Pontoon" and Lady Antebellum's "Downtown." Lori McKenna, who won consecutive Best Country Song Grammy Awards for Little Big Town's "Girl Crush" in 2016 and Tim McGraw's "Humble and Kind" in 2017. Hillary Lindsey, who also co-penned "Girl Crush" as well as many of Carrie Underwood's major hits. Lindsay has collaborated with Lady Gaga on several previous occasions, including her single "Million Reasons." Cobb recalled to Esquire that the group at the Nashville songwriting camp mainly worked on material for Ally. "Every song was custom-written for the character, where the character was in the arc of that story," he said.
That Arizona sky burnin' in your eyes You look at me and, babe, I wanna catch on fire It's buried in my soul like California gold You found the light in me that I couldn't find So when I'm all choked up And I can't find the words Every time we say goodbye Baby, it hurts When the sun goes down And the band won't play I'll always remember us this way Lovers in the night Poets tryin' to write We don't know how to rhyme But, damn, we try But all I really know You're where I wanna go The part of me that's you will never die So when I'm all choked up And I can't find the words Every time we say goodbye Baby, it hurts When the sun goes down And the band won't play I'll always remember us this way Oh, yeah I don't wanna be just a memory, baby, yeah Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo So when I'm all choked up And I can't find the words Every time we say goodbye Baby, it hurts When the sun goes down And the band won't play I'll always remember us this way, way, yeah When you look at me And the whole world fades I'll always remember us this way
