The track is a pop song with country influences. It lyrically delves on "heartbreak and hope" during a relationship, as well as Gaga's religious faith during the chorus, ultimately making it a song with a positive message. Critics appreciated the track's simple production and lyrics. Commercially, "Million Reasons" reached the top 10 of the charts in Hungary, Slovakia, Switzerland, the United States, and Venezuela as well as the top 20 in Canada, Italy, and Scotland.
An accompanying music video was directed by Ruth Hogben and Andrea Gelardin, and continues the story established in the video for her previous single, "Perfect Illusion". It shows Gaga singing in a white studio, and also her in a desert, breaking down before being rescued by her friends. In order to promote "Million Reasons", the singer performed it on her Dive Bar Tour (2016), multiple television appearances, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2016, the Super Bowl LI halftime show, the 2017 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and the 60th Grammy Awards. It also served as the encore for the Joanne World Tour (2017–2018). Cover versions of the song were recorded by singer Kelsea Ballerini, Grateful Dead's Bob Weir and Phish's Trey Anastasio.
Million Reasons
Lady GaGa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're giving me a million reasons to quit the show
You're givin' me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons
If I had a highway, I would run for the hills
But you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons
I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay
Head stuck in a cycle, I look off and I stare
It's like that I've stopped breathing, but completely aware
'Cause you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons
And if you say something that you might even mean
It's hard to even fathom which parts I should believe
'Cause you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons
I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay
Oh baby, I'm bleedin', bleedin'
Stay
Can't you give me what I'm needin', needin'
Every heartbreak makes it hard to keep the faith
But baby, I just need one good one
Good one, good one, good one, good one, good one
When I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one, good one
Tell me that you'll be the good one, good one
Baby, I just need one good one to stay
Lady Gaga's song A Million Reasons is a touching ballad that reflects the uncertainty and struggle of a relationship that could go either wrong or right. The song begins with the singer discussing how she's being given a million reasons to let her significant other go, but she keeps holding on to that one good reason to stay. The following lines discuss how, if given the chance to escape the relationship, she would run away from it and be still. However, the person keeps giving her a million reasons to stay, leaving her indecisive and conflicted.
As the song progresses, the artist mentions her spiritual side, confessing that she relies on prayer to guide her through the tough decision. Later in the song, she pleads for her significant other to give her one good reason to stay, expressing desperation and vulnerability as she opens up about emotional pain caused by past heartbreaks and the need for someone to support and believe in her.
The song's powerful lyrics and Gaga's emotional delivery of it reflect the rawness and realness in relationships and the internal confusion and fear that comes with it. It's a song that many people can relate to, especially those who have been in a difficult relationship.

MEANING OF THE VIDEO OF "MILLION REASONS"
The video begins where her predecessor "Perfect Illusion" ended, we see a Lady Gaga super energetic giving a show that in the end ends up being just a perfect illusion and collapses in the middle of a desert where she is totally alone. This could interpret the story she suffered during Born This Way and ARTPOP where she collapsed and many fans, friends and even her team turned their backs.
Recall that his former manager, Troy Carter, was the most hypocritical with Gaga during its beginnings. He only used it to create one more doll in the industry and that this was his machine of money. He disappeared during his hip problem and in the ARTPOP era they ended their relationship and contract. That was when Gaga "fell again" and all the projects he had for this album, such as presentations, music videos, applications, and so on, collapsed and was dubbed the world as 'ARTFLOP'.
In a recent interview, Gaga revealed that she always told her team during the 'Born This Way Ball Tour' that she felt sick and ill, but her team only told her to continue with her tour. As a consequence, this provokes the post-traumatic stress disorder that Lady Gaga suffers today.
And this, is what so far the two videos of the #Joanne era shows us; The recovery of an artist who despite having millions of reasons to surrender, decided to go forward by leaning on her fans, friends and family, that is why you see the group of people in pickup trucks that rescue her when she is totally collapsed and alone in the desert .

@theharshtruthoutthere
@@jennieyosores9435 Every time we are after rich and fame, these questions should we ask from ourselves:
Mark 8:36
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Luke 9:25
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
Matthew 16:26
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Ecclesiastes 1:3
What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
If one listens some of the interview of the celebs, then they all have admitted that they become vessels for demonic spirits. It all comes down to these 2 questions: have we eyes which see and ears which hear or are our eyes and ears closed?
