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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heaven's not ready for you
Every part of my aching heart
Needs you more than the angels do
Girl, where do you think you're goin'?
Where do you think you're goin'
Goin', girl?
Where do you think you're goin'
Goin', girl?
If you could I know that you'd stay
We both know things don't work that way
I promised I wouldn't say goodbye
So I grin and my voice gets thin
Girl, where do you think you're goin'?
Where do you think you're goin'?
Goin', girl?
Girl, where do you think you're goin'?
Where do you think you're goin'?
Goin', girl?
Honestly, I know where you're goin'
And baby, you're just movin' on
And I still love you even if I can't
See you anymore can't wait to see you soar
Girl, where do you think you're goin'?
Where do you think you're goin'
Goin', girl?
Girl, where do you think you're goin'?
Where do you think you're goin'
Goin', girl?

Gaga acknowledges that even though she wishes Joanne could stay, she understands that things do not always work out as planned, and she promises not to say goodbye.
As the song progresses, Gaga tells Joanne that she knows where she is going, and even though she is sad to see her go, she still loves her and can't wait to see her soar. The lyrics "I still love you even if I can't see you anymore" speaks of Gaga's deep love for Joanne, even though she has passed away. The final line "Where do you think you're goin', goin', girl?" can be interpreted as Gaga's final goodbye to Joanne, as she acknowledges that Joanne has left and is now moving on.
Overall, the song "Joanne" is a deeply emotional tribute to Lady Gaga's beloved aunt Joanne. The song conveys the pain and grief of losing someone close to you, but also the hope and love that you have for them, even after they're gone.

Take my hand, stay Joanne
Stay with me, don't leave me alone Joanne
Heaven's not ready for you
You're not meant to leave this world yet
Every part of my aching heart
My heart is in pain
Needs you more than the angels do
I need you more than even the angels in heaven need you
Girl, where do you think you're goin'?
Where are you going, girl?

If you could I know that you'd stay
If you had the choice, I know you'd stay with me
We both know things don't work that way
But we both know that's not how life works
I promised I wouldn't say goodbye
I made a promise not to say farewell
So I grin and my voice gets thin
So I put on a smile, but my voice is weak
Honestly, I know where you're goin'
In all honesty, I know where you're headed
And baby, you're just movin' on
You're simply moving forward with your life
And I still love you even if I can't
I'll always love you even if I can't be with you
See you anymore can't wait to see you soar
See you again, and I'm excited to see you succeed

My boyfriend passed away from AIDS last year. I heard this song just before he passed, and couldn't get it out of my head. I firmly believe he sent me this song to help me process.
It's such a beautiful and healing expression of grief. All I can say is Thank You Lady Gaga. You are a Saint.
Wellington
Im sorry for your loss, he's in a better place now

I think I can somewhat sympathize.
In 2018, my long distance girlfriend died by suicide. At the time, my parents were super homophobic and she was my rock. I was 16, so was she. Rest In Peace, Meg.
