Gaga's five succeeding studio albums all debuted atop the US Billboard 200. Her second full-length album, Born This Way (2011), explored electronic rock and techno-pop and sold more than one million copies in its first week. The title track became the fastest-selling song on the iTunes Store, with over one million downloads in less than a week. Following her EDM-influenced third album, Artpop (2013), and its lead single "Applause", Gaga released the jazz album Cheek to Cheek (2014) with Tony Bennett, and the soft rock album Joanne (2016). She ventured into acting, winning awards for her leading roles in the miniseries American Horror Story: Hotel (2015–2016) and the musical film A Star Is Born (2018). Her contributions to the latter's soundtrack, which spawned the chart-topping single "Shallow", made her the first woman to win an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Golden Globe Award and Grammy Award in one year. Gaga returned to dance-pop with her sixth studio album, Chromatica (2020), which yielded the number-one single "Rain on Me". She followed this with her second collaborative album with Bennett, Love for Sale, and a starring role in the biopic House of Gucci, both in 2021.
Having sold an estimated 170 million records, Gaga is one of the world's best-selling music artists and the only female artist to achieve four singles that each sold at least 10 million copies globally. Her accolades include 13 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, 18 MTV Video Music Awards, awards from the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and recognition as Billboard's Artist of the Year (2010) and Woman of the Year (2015). She has also been included in several Forbes' power rankings and ranked fourth on VH1's Greatest Women in Music (2012). Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2010 and 2019 and placed her on their All-Time 100 Fashion Icons list. Her philanthropy and activism focus on mental health awareness and LGBTQ+ rights; she has her own non-profit organization, the Born This Way Foundation, which supports the wellness of young people. Gaga's business ventures include Haus Labs, a vegan cosmetics brand launched in 2019.

"Changing Skies" by Lady Gaga is a song that speaks about the need for someone to hold on to in difficult moments. The beginning four lines of the chorus imply that the artist needs someone to stand by her when things get rough, to support her and guide her through difficult moments in life. She also goes on to appreciate the person who gives her comfort when she's afraid and informs them that they are the ones who always get her through those ch-changing skies. Gaga states that the person by her side gets her through the thunderstorms of life, and she is grateful for their support.
The second verse of the song is about finding strength in someone else, instead of having to cope with the emotional turmoil all by herself. The lyrics point towards Gaga searching for someone who can help her when she feels restless and wants to dance until the night is over. She admits that she's not necessarily emotive or overly sentimental, but life can be uncertain sometimes, and she doesn't want to fall without a parachute. She still wants to enjoy the ride and be able to let go, having faith that someone will catch her when the time comes.
Overall, "Changing Skies" is a song with a message of hope and a desire for companionship during difficult times. Lady Gaga is expressing the need for someone who will be there to pick her up when the skies get rough, and assist her through life's changes.
