Lady Gaga doesn’t go by the rules, especially when it comes to video premieres. The videos from the sold-a-million-in-a-week "Born This Way" have fallen somewhere in between, but her latest "Yoü and I," which just premiered on Perez Hilton even though it was supposed to be unveiled on MTV on Thursday night, might finally be the epic that everybody has been waiting for this time around. The thrilling storyline would be about the "torture" of being away from the one you love, feels like the strongest and most striking of any of the clips from "Born This Way."The album's thirteenth track and fourth single, "Yoü and I," is a rock and roll ballad with tendencies of rock music and country music, and samples "We Will Rock You" (1977) by British rock band Queen. The moderato-tempo song also features Brian May on the electric guitar. On her Twitter, the New York star described "Yoü and I" as a "new song... written in NY on the piano I grew up on." Gaga described the song to her audience as a bit of a "rock-and-roll tune." She went on to say that it will probably never be used as one of her singles, but the song is very dear to her heart.
The song finds Gaga singing about a passionate love affair with a "Nebraska guy" whilst the lyric sheet features umlauts over every letter "u." The 25-year-old revealed in an interview with US Weekly that she finds it hard to perform this track as it is about her relationship with her on-and-off boyfriend, Luc Carl. The tune is about getting back together with a former love and Gaga penned the tune after getting back together with Carl, having previously split up with him. However, the singer broke up with him again shortly before the release of "Born This Way" and she admitted that she now gets upset when singing the tune.
The "I would walk 500 miles" theme video was shot in Springfield, Nebraska, finds the Mother Monster tapping into her various alter-egos, from male "greaser" counterpart Jo Calderone to Yuyi the Mermaid. Gaga explained the video's concept: "The premise of the video is that I've walked all the way from New York City to Nebraska to get [my boyfriend] back. And the [video is about the] idea that when you're away from someone you love, it's torture," she continued. "I knew I wanted the video to be about me sprinting back and walking hundreds of thousands of miles to get him back."
