The collaboration between Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars was a long time coming, and it was worth the wait. The music video for their duet “Die with a Smile” is here, and its retro music video will take you on a walk down memory lane.
Directed by Mars and Daniel Ramos, the music video for this A-list collaboration is a true vintage delight. Gaga and Mars are rocking matching cowboy-themed outfits in vibrant shades of red and blue while performing on a TV studio stage that looks straight out of the 70s.
The duo has been discussing a potential collaboration for quite some time, and “Die with a Smile” finally started taking shape while they were both recording new music in Malibu. Mars invited Gaga to listen to the song he was working on, and she was so impressed that they stayed up all night to put the finishing touches on this track.
Gaga and Mars delivered the first live performance of “Die with a Smile” at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, where they rocked the retro outfits from the music video. This song was released as a standalone single, and it’s not connected to Gaga’s upcoming seventh studio album or any of Mars’ future projects.
