Bebe 16,572 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Nah, Itās being released as cross promotion for Joker. It may not have been written with the movie in mind, but the idea of dying with a smile feels very Joker and the music video seems to have some small references to the movie from what weāve seen in the trailer. I think Gaga loved what Bruno had been working on and approached him with the idea of releasing it before Jokerās debut to give it some shine and cross promote the movie while justifying a push for the song. I donāt know if the music from Joker will be as modern and commercial, it feels like they are going more āclassicā musical, so we arenāt going to get another Shallow from the actual soundtrack. This is the hit song to promote without it being an official part of the movie. Movie is debuting in a couple of weeks, itās not an accident that this song is being released now. Itās to remind the public that she can sing, give her a little hit, have a little association made in peopleās head between the song and the movie and have people thinking āOh she is meant for this roleā. Even the Paris Olympics was used as an opportunity to promote. You know all the articles written about the movie will mention āGaga has had a busy couple of months, opening the Paris Olympics with the theatrical French show tune āMon Truc en Plumesā and releasing Die with a Smile (a song that is apparently not related to the movie, but that seems to be a sly wink.)ā Or āGaga has been on a grind recently, performing Mon Truc en Plumes at the Paris Olympic Opening Ceremony before releasing Die with a Smile, a collaboration with Bruno Marsā. OrĀ āThe āDie with a Smileā singer, who recently helped open the Olympic Games in Paris.ā Ā Bookmark me: They will release some teasers or another trailer shortly after the release at Venice film festival, hopefully after some positive reviews of the movie and Gagaās performance, and some paid promo will start to appear in some blogs and news articles about how Gaga has been in her Harley Quinn era. (Think Margot Robbie dressing as Barbie at every premiere - except itās more music focused). Ā 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
