“It was just beautiful,” gushes Gaga, who says she cried upon hearing it. Warren, who writes songs but never sings them publicly, nevertheless gave Gaga a little vocal tease of her ideas. Warren put together a few ideas and then reached out to Gaga, who she did not know personally, to see if there was interest in a collaboration. Initially, The Hunting Ground‘s filmmakers weren’t sure they even wanted an original song in their doc, but executive producer Paul Blavin consulted the veteran music supervisor Bonnie Greenberg, who approached Warren. And both now believe that it is their duty to share the story of their experiences through song because music has the power to change the world. (One of Gaga’s three jobs was as an exotic dancer, and Warren was delivery person.) Both survived sexual assaults and then kept their pain and anguish to themselves for years. Both dropped out of college and essentially lived hand-to-mouth in order to pursue their musical dreams. And the list of differences goes on.īut they also share quite a bit in common. Gaga, who has flowing blonde hair, presents herself rather regally, while Warren, who has short black hair, loves few things more than a good curse word. Gaga rose to fame as something of an exhibitionist, while Warren generally prefers to blend in with the crowd. Warren, 59, is more than twice the age of Gaga, 29. On paper, the two women look like an odd couple.

“But it’s healing people,” Warren reassures her. “Every time I sing that song it’s difficult for me,” says music icon Lady Gaga as I sit down with her and seven-time best original song Oscar nominee Diane Warren at Gaga’s Malibu estate to discuss “ Til It Happens to You,” the song they co-wrote and Gaga performs in Kirby Dick‘s Oscar-shortlisted documentary The Hunting Ground, which highlights the epidemic of sexual assault on American college campuses.
