Lady Gaga has shared a new song from her upcoming album Joanne. The track is produced by Mark Ronson, BloodPop, and Nashville songwriter Hillary Lindsey along with Lady Gaga, of course.

Lindsey backs Gaga with harmonies on the twangy, spare piano-and-guitar-tipped track in the clip above. "All these men – my dad, my boyfriends, all the men in my life – they give me a million reasons, but I just need one good one to stick around," Gaga says before she launches into the heartfelt song.

Joanne will be released on October 21, it will be Gaga's first album since 2013's experimental ArtPop. Named after the singer's aunt who died from lupus at the age of 19, Gaga has promised a more rootsy sound that is a product of her returning home for some time and removing herself from the limelight for a bit.

The singer has promised that Joanne will bridge country, pop, funk and more. She wasn’t kidding. In the video posted above, Gaga opened her set in troubadour fashion – seated with a country-styled hat and an acoustic guitar slung over her shoulder -- for a low-key performance of Joanne track Sinner’s Prayer

Lady Gaga then performs the he earthy, uptempo track A-Yo. Followed by the much anticipated ballad Million Reasons. Nashville seemed the right place to unveil this new incarnation of Gaga.
