Tom Cruise absolutely loves Lady Gaga’s new song for his newest Top Gun movie called Top Gun: Maverick. The new song called “Hold My Hand” is what Cruise also calls the “heartbeat of the movie.” Cruise recently stopped by The Late Late Show to talk about the film and how much the song has had an impact on the highly-anticipated sequel.
Not only did Gaga write this song that Cruise loves so much, but she also helped compose the score for the entire movie. “It just opened up the whole movie. She’s amazing,” he tells James Corden.
“It just opened those doors to the emotional core of the film that we had … in that moment, things just came together in such a beautiful way. Her song that she’d written just fell right in and became, really, the underlying score and the heartbeat of our film.”
When Gaga posted the song to her Instagram account upon its release, she told her followers to “have faith in humanity.” She said, “I wanted to say that I wrote the song for the INCREDIBLE movie #topgun #topgunmaverick but also for people who feel like they’re not gonna be ok or WE ARE never gonna be ok and that life taught me through hard times to have faith in humanity when it’s hard to have faith in yourself.”
The post continues, “When you feel lonely, sad, removed from the world, far away from yourself and others #holdmyhand One day you may even be strong enough to hold your own 🤝. I love you with my whole heart for all the years I’ve been blessed to sing, write songs, produce and perform for you. Thank you 🙏 here we go!!! 🖤✈️”
Some of the lyrics from the song are as follows:
“I see that you’re hurtin’, why’d you take so long / To tell me you need me? I see that you’re bleedin’ / You don’t need to show me again,” she sings in the track’s pre-chorus. “But if you decide to, I’ll ride in this life with you / I won’t let go ’til the end.”
“So cry tonight / But don’t you let go of my hand / You can cry every last tear,” belts Gaga during its hook. “I won’t leave ’til I understand / Promise me, just hold my hand.”
