The song, a Gaga-Bruno mashup of her powerful vocals and his smooth soulfulness, has resonated with the world and reflected on the ever-changing music landscape.
This is the first time Gaga and Bruno have worked together and the chemistry was undeniable. The song’s success wasn’t limited to Spotify, it was across all platforms. Die With A Smile debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed in the top 5 for months and is one of the biggest songs of the year.
To top it all off, Die With A Smile was a highlight of the 2025 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on February 2. The song won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. During their speech, Bruno said it was an “honor to create music with one of the greatest artists of our time.” Gaga praised Bruno and took a moment to talk about LGBTQ+ rights, specifically trans visibility and love after which the crowd gave her a standing ovation.
They also performed live at the Grammys, covering “California Dreamin’” for the victims of the Los Angeles wildfires. Their performance brought the house down and was one of the most moving moments of the night.
Die With A Smile goes beyond awards and records. Its impact on pop culture is real, the song has been trending on socials for months, with viral dance challenges, fan covers, reels, and shorts. The streaming numbers are still going up and show no signs of stopping.
By tying the record previously held by Dance Monkey, Gaga and Bruno have cemented themselves as two of the biggest artists of our time. Whether Die With A Smile will break the record and stand alone at the top we’ll see, but for now, fans are celebrating a feat few thought was possible.
