“Shallow,” the highly anticipated track from the upcoming film A Star Is Born, finally made its debut Thursday after giving us all chills in the movie’s trailer.
The song, which premiered on Apple’s Beats 1 Radio, features the voices of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, who play Ally and Jackson Maine, respectively, in the film.
The two united to create the third remake of A Star Is Born, and this version, which was directed by Cooper, has been getting rave reviews since it premiered at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month.
Leading up to the release of “Shallow,” fans have been obsessed with the way Gaga sings part of the song in the film’s trailer (specifically, the bit where she sustains a really big note, which has since become a meme).
Naturally, people online were HYPE about the song finally being released in full.

Some joked about what ~lewks~ they were wearing to the listening session.
