Lady Gaga and Elton John Dance the Pain Away with "Sine from Above"

• Lady Gaga has unveiled her sixth studio album, Chromatica, which includes a collaboration with Elton John called "Sine from Above."
• The linkup follows the singer's collabs with Ariana Grande and Blackpink, which also appear on the LP.
• Gaga said that the song is about finding healing through music.

Lady Gaga isn't stopping with the Chromatica collaborations. After teasing the new album with "Rain on Me" featuring Ariana Grande and "Sour Candy" with K-pop girl group Blackpink, she treated listeners with a third collab—"Sine from Above" starring the one and only Elton John. Together, the musical powerhouses trade verses on the rapturous dance track about finding healing through music.

The title is a play on words about how music was an escape for Gaga when she was in a place of hurt. "S-I-N-E, because it's a sound wave," she explained to Apple Music. "That sound, sine, from above is what healed me to be able to dance my way out of this album. That was later in the recording process that I actually was like, 'And now let me pay tribute to the very thing that has revived me, and that is music.'"

Gaga and John are longtime collaborators, and they've performed live together a number of times, including at the Grammys in 2010, for a Thanksgiving TV special in 2013, and during a Sunset Strip concert in 2016. She's also the godmother of John and his husband David Furnish's sons, Zachary and Elijah Furnish-John.

"He's been my mentor for a long time," Gaga told Beats 1 radio host Zane Lowe of the music legend. "I mean, he's always challenged me to keep my head above water and it's something that I always appreciate is that he knows when I'm down. He just does. And he knows because I hide, because I never want anyone to see me when I'm like that."

When I was young, I prayed for lightning
My mother said it would come and find me
I found myself without a prayer
I lost my love and no one cared
When I was young, I prayed for lightning

Yeah, I looked with my face up to the sky
But I saw nothing there, no, no, nothing there
Yeah, I stared while my eyes filled up with tears
But there was nothing there, no, no, nothing

I heard one sine from above (Oh)
I heard one sine from above (Oh)
Then the signal split in two
The sound created stars like me and you
Before there was love, there was silence
I heard one sine
And it healed my heart, heard a sine

Healed my heart, heard a sine
Healed my heart, heard a sine

When I was young, I felt immortal
And not a day went by without a struggle
I lived my days just for the nights
I lost myself under the lights
When I was young, I felt immortal

Yeah, I looked with my face up to the sky
But I saw nothing there, no, no, nothing there
Yeah, I stared while my eyes filled up with tears
But there was nothing there, no, no nothing

I heard one sine from above (Oh)
I heard one sine from above (Oh)
Then the signal split in two
The sound created stars like me and you
Before there was love, there was silence
I heard one sine
And it healed my heart, heard a sine

Healed my heart, heard a sine
Healed my heart, heard a sine

Then the signal split in two
The sound created stars like me and you
Before there was love, there was silence
I heard one sine
And it healed my heart, heard a sine

Healed my heart
Healed my
Heart, heard a sine
Healed my
Heart, heard a sine
