The story behind the song

This song is a powerful anthem about self-acceptance and empowerment, particularly for the LGBTQ community and racial minorities. Lady Gaga wanted to create a "freedom song" that was a direct "attack, an assault on the issue" of identity, rather than hiding its message in metaphors. Written in just ten minutes, it was inspired by the empowering music of the early 90s and Carl Bean's 1977 song "I Was Born This Way." At its heart, it plays like a declaration of inherent worth and pride.
