It’s a familiar Hollywood plot, whether you’ve never seen A Star is Born or devoured each of the previous three versions: A rising starlet becomes the protégé of a falling star, outshines him, and must face the outcome on her own.
In the 2018 adaptation, Lady Gaga captivates audiences with the strength and tone of her unique voice—including those “HAA-AHHs” that had fans wailing their own (potentially off-key) versions after viewing the trailer (or browsing the internet at any point throughout the last few weeks).
Those few bars of chorus were unveiled as the bridge of the movie’s hero song, “Shallow,” a few weeks before the movie premiered on October 5.

And what’s more: The Monday after the premiere, the song was the seventh most repeated song in the U.S.
