5 years ago today, Gaga surprised dropped “The Cure” during her headlining performance at Coachella. 

B52-E687-B-EAED-4797-A045-FEE450-B40146.

The song has been rumored to have come about during the A Star is Born soundtrack sessions with DJ White Shadow, Mark Nilan, and Lukas Nelson. 
 

The sound was a departure from the only six month old album, Joanne. Following its release, critics praised it for its anthemic message and a perfect summer jam. 
 

"The Cure" reached the top 10 of the record charts in Australia, Hungary, Lebanon, Scotland, Slovakia and Venezuela, and the digital charts of Finland, Greece, and combined-Europe, as well as the top 20 in the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, Latvia, and Malaysia. It also reached the top 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and top 20 on US Pop and Adult Top 40 radio formats. The sound is certified platinum in Australia, Italy, and the United States and certified silver in the UK.

I will never forget how shaken I was when I was watching the Coachella livestream late at night in my room and she goes into The Cure. It was one of the first monster things that I was fully 100% involved in the freakout of and it really felt like a big community win for us all, I was so happy. 

Such an underrated gem in her discography, even if you think it's "basic" it can't be denied it is a major bop and goes off live especially. 

I think this song was actually my favorite part of my JWT show and when I was crying the most

I had work super early Easter morning and had a project I had to go on campus to finish. I remember coming home, looking at iTunes and seeing a new Gaga song and I was soooo shook! I obviously immediately bought it without even listening to it first. Since then it has been one of my all time fav Gaga songs!

Going to bed at 10pm with an alarm set up at 1am, to watch it in my room was a thrill.

And when she said “I’ve been in the studio..” 🥹 I just wish I had someone to freak out with, but it was sooooo good

I immediately checked apple music every 2 min afterwards and went to sleep after listening to it a couple of times.

Such a good song 💙💚

I waa travelling with my family in a secluded area when Gaga performed at Coachella so my internet connection was shaky at best. When I saw some Little Monsters on Facebook say Gaga dropped a new song, I thought they were trolling lmao.

I love it too! People like to hate on it as it being basic, but the lyrics hit hard and so does that chorus! I always like when she mixes R&B and Pop. 
 

Many were disappointed in Joanne not being the explosive dance pop from the past. She really said you want an explosive pop song, I’ll give you one
