(2015)

"Til It Happens to You" is a song produced and performed by American singer Lady Gaga. She co-wrote the song with Diane Warren for the 2015 documentary film The Hunting Ground, which deals with campus rape in the United States. The song had leaked onto the internet through an unofficial recording at the film's premiere in 2015 Sundance Film Festival. It was later released by Interscope Records to digital retailers on September 18, 2015. The director and producer of the film had looked for someone influential to write a song for it, and music supervisor Bonnie Greenberg contacted Warren who was interested. After writing the song, Warren asked Gaga to record "Til It Happens to You". Producer Nile Rodgers accompanied them during the recording, providing his suggestions.

A universal song about any kind of loss in life, the track was placed during two sequences in the film, highlighting pain of sexual assault. The song consists of an orchestral production with strings, and an emotional vocal delivery from Gaga. Lyrically it asks the listeners to stand in a victim's position and try to understand the turmoil they go through. "Til It Happens to You" was later included as part of a public service announcement video, directed by Catherine Hardwicke. The video depicts various instances of violence against women and sexual assaults. It ends with a cautionary note about the effects of such distress, and the individuals finding solace with their close friends and relatives.

Both the song and the video received positive critical response. Reviewers complimented Gaga's vocal delivery, the sympathy of the lyrics with the subject matter, as well as the realistic depictions of the sexual assaults in the clip and Hardwicke's direction. A part of the retail sales would be donated to organizations supporting victims of sexual assault. Commercially, the song reached the top-thirty in Finland, Greece, and Spain as well as the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles and Pop Digital songs in the United States. "Til It Happens to You" was nominated at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards for Best Song Written for Visual Media and is nominated at the 88th Academy Awards in the category of Best Original Song, along with numerous awards.

Background and release

Diane Warren co-wrote "Til It Happens to You" with Lady Gaga.

"Til It Happens to You" was written by Diane Warren and Lady Gaga, and recorded by the latter for The Hunting Ground (2015), a documentary film about campus rape in the United States.[1] Director Kirby Dick and producer Amy Ziering wanted someone with "major" influence to record a song for the film, believing it would generate publicity and promote the subject. They contacted executive producer Paul Blavin, explaining their choice and also added that they did not have enough resources to find someone. Blavin started searching and met with music supervisor Bonnie Greenberg, who introduced Blavin to Warren about the project.[2] Warren was moved by the idea saying "I cannot not [sic] write a song for you. And not only can I ... write a song for this movie, I'm going to gift it to you." She wrote the song after viewing scenes from the film almost a year before the track's release. Soon after writing was completed, she invited Gaga to record vocals. Warren said of the song and Gaga's contributions:

I heard about [the film] and it just really touched me, and she had stuff in her life that she could relate to. Gaga is one of the most talented artists I have worked with in my life and I'm excited about doing more with her... There are a lot of levels to the song. There's something very vulnerable about it and something very defiant about it, especially the way [Gaga] sings it. The first verse is vulnerable—'You tell me its going to get better?'—and the second verse comes in and it builds. Really? It gets better? No. You don't know until it happens to you...[1]

Warren also added that the song's message was universal in nature and relatable to any loss faced in life.[1] Gaga, who herself is a victim of rape, tweeted about recording the song with Warren.[2][3] She later revealed during the Producers Guild of America Awards 2015, that the song's theme was linked personally to her family. Her father's sister Joanne had been sexually assaulted in college, and the torment worsened Joanne's prevailing lupus, resulting in her death. The incident affected Gaga's family and was directly related to the theme for "Til It Happens to You".[4]

Along with "Til It Happens to You", Gaga also got involved with New York state governor Andrew Cuomo, and signed a letter pushing for new legislation to help eradicate "rape culture" in American universities. Titled "Enough Is Enough", the legislation was effective from July 2015.[5] The documentary features two versions of the song, one during the body of the film and a second at its closing, and highlights the sequences about the pain of sexual assault.[1] While the song played, the lead subject, an assault survivor, reminisced about the impact of rape while walking around a college campus. Ziering concluded that having Gaga sing the track fulfilled their need for publicity since she "[brought] a whole other demographic. Anyone who has that kind of platform to reach all sorts of people that maybe would not necessarily be inclined to be interested in your issue... it's incredible."[2] "Til It Happens to You" leaked onto the internet before it was officially released, through a recording of the song at the film's premiere in 2015 Sundance Film Festival.[6] In April 2015, Warren confirmed that the song would have an official release and was waiting for a final audio mixing by Gaga.[7] It was later released as a digital download single on September 18, 2015.[8]

In an interview for Billboard's podcast, Nile Rodgers spoke about the recording sessions of the track and working with Gaga and Warren. He had met Gaga in a party and she invited him to join them in the studio. During recording, Gaga was singing in a D note, over the F note of the music that was being played. Rodgers suggested Warren that since the D vocals made the song sound like a country track, they could instead inverse the chords into thirteenth (an octave plus a sixth), thus serving a dominant function. Warren accepted the suggestion and the song was re-recorded. Rodgers finished off saying, "We were there the whole night just hanging out, laughing, and it was just a blast, but it was no big deal in my life. I mean, when I say "no big deal", I mean that that it was important, but it was business as usual. It was no big deal, we weren't like 'Oh my god, this is the second coming'. That's just what I do." [9] Gaga reportedly struggled while recording the song, since it recalled her own trauma. Warren explained that it was "very emotional for her. She couldn't even talk through it at times".[10] Gaga told in an interview with Variety that Warren had helped her feel comfortable about the song and its subject matter, transcending the singing and putting correct emotional depth in the record.

When Diane first played me what she had begun with the song, I needed no convincing about the record... it was about sharing that part of myself with the world... We talked a lot about what I felt the song needed in order to reach as many young people as possible. I felt that it needed to not stay in a purely emotional state, but that it was going to somehow grow throughout the performance and the song and by the end, kind of be full of rage. I feel like what this song accomplishes is women—or men—rising to say, ‘You think you can hurt me? You don't know about power. Because after what you did to me, you don't even know how much stronger I am.'[11]

"Til It Happens to You" is a somber tune covered in orchestral production and soaring strings.[12][13] The pop ballad delivers an "empowering" message ("Hold your head up and be strong / When you fall you gotta get up") and has been described as "stirring and emotional".[14][15][16] Featuring a classical production, "Til It Happens to You" gives emphasis on Gaga's vocals, keeping focus on the lyrics, which goes like "Til it happens to you / You don't know how it feels, how it feels / Til it happens to you, you won't know, it won't be real / No, it won't be real, won't know how I feel."[17] The lyrics ask those who tell victims how to cope, or pretend to understand their assault, to try and stand in their shoes. Gaga retorts back that some occurrences are needed to be experienced, in order to understand them.[13] The first verse is sung by Gaga in a vulnerable voice, which gradually changes into an aggressive tone, which again changes to sound like that of a survivor during the final verses.[18] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com, "Til It Happens to You" is set in the time signature of common with a slow tempo of 59 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of A minor with Gaga's vocals spanning from E3 to D5. The song follows a basic sequence of Am–C–Fmaj7–C–G/B as its chord progression.[19]

Critical response

Jeff Benajmin from Fuse noted that the song contains a "powerful message" while the composition was evocative of her "biting" ballads like "Dope".[17] Brennan Carly from Spin said the song "highlights [Gaga]'s evocative voice" and is similar in tone to "Speechless" and "Gypsy".[16] While reviewing the documentary, Leslie Felperin of The Hollywood Reporter said that the song provided "an extra jolt of poignancy" in the film.[20] Lauren Valenti from Marie Claire described the track as "robust and orchestral", adding that the lyrics "command attention". She complimented the choice of Gaga singing the track, due to the singer's connection to sexual abuse.[21] Bradley Stern from MuuMuse also compared it to "Dope" and "Speechless", while comparing the strings arrangement to music of Lana Del Rey. Stern described it as a "massive production" complimenting the lyrics for being straightforward.[22] For Manohla Dargis of The New York Times, Dick was able to successfully change the sombre mood of the documentary with the inclusion of the song.[23] Spencer Kornhaber from The Atlantic praised the song and Gaga's vocals, saying that "Even with such somber subject matter, [the singer's] booming delivery and dramatic phrasing will probably remind people of the time when [Gaga's 2009 single] 'Bad Romance' ruled the radio."[13]

Declaring the song as Gaga's "most stirring" release, Michelle Geslani from Consequence of Sound called the track "a sweeping and intensely powerful number — it's not just any ordinary pop song".[24] Christopher Tapley from Variety praised both Gaga and Warren's songwriting, describing it as "something of an anthem for the cause... It is one of the strongest contenders in this year's race for best original song [in the Academy Awards]. But far more than that, it is a rally cry for a movement."[11] Lisa Wright wrote in NME that the song is "a somber piano ballad befitting of the topic with lyrics that depict the frustration of being told to pick yourself up and carry on by people who couldn't possibly understand your situation."[25] Idolator's Robbie Daw claimed that the "powerful, unsettling" visuals were complimented by "strong vocal performance" from Gaga.[26] Brittany Spanos from Rolling Stone called it an "evocative track", which highlighted Gaga's vocals. She believed it to be "a perfect follow-up to [Gaga's] Grammy-winning standards debut with Tony Bennett" and "[an Academy Award win would be a triumph] following Gaga's critical and commercial miss with most recent album Artpop and help break Warren's losing streak at the show."[27]

Chart performance

"Til It Happens to You" charted on the Ultratip charts of Belgium (Flanders and Wallonia) while in Finland it debuted and peaked at number 21 on the Finnish Download Chart.[28][29] Across Europe it peaked at number 46 in France, number 29 in Spain and also reached number 5 on the Greece Digital Songs chart published by Billboard.[28] In the United Kingdom, the song entered the UK Download Chart at number 67, while on the official UK Singles Chart it reached a peak of number 171.[30] The song also reached a peak of number 52 in Scotland.[31]

In the United States, "Til It Happens to You" failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, instead entered the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart at number two, the chart being an extension of the Hot 100.[32] On the Dance Club Songs, the song became Gaga's 14th entry to reach the top of the chart on the issue dated January 23, 2016, landing her at the 10th place in the ranking of artists with the most number-ones on the dance chart. It was her first song to reach the top of the chart since "Applause" (2013). The rise to the top of the dance chart was aided by transformation of the ballad into a club track of 30 remixed versions, including those from Dave Aude, Tracy Young and Dirty Pop.[33]

Accolades

At the 2015 Hollywood Music in Media Awards, which took place in November 11, "Til It Happens to You" won the award for Best Song in a Documentary.[34] It is also nominated at the 20th Satellite Awards for Best Original Song, and at the 3rd iHeartRadio Music Awards for Best Song from a Movie.[35][36] Other nominations for the song came from 21st Critics' Choice Awards and the St. Louis Film Critics Association (StLFCA), where it was nominated for Best Song category, from Georgia Film Critics Association and Denver Film Critics Society, where it was nominated for Best Original Song, and from the 58th Annual Grammy Awards for Best Song Written for Visual Media.[37][38][39][40][41] On January 15, 2016, "Til It Happens to You" was nominated for an Academy Award in the category of Best Original Song for the 2016 ceremony.[42] It became the fifth song from a documentary to ever get nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song.[43] Gaga dedicated the nomination to survivors of sexual assault, uploading the dedication on her Twitter account.[44]

Music video

Development and synopsis

Catherine Hardwicke smiling while signing DVDs
Director Catherine Hardwicke tried to portray sexual assaults realistically in the video

In August 2015, it was declared that the song would be released as part of a public service announcement (PSA) video, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, to raise awareness about sexual assaults in college campuses. The Hollywood Reporter described it as casting "an emotional spotlight on young women in vulnerable situations that college students will readily recognize".[45] Hardwicke said of the PSA's important message, "You can't watch the documentary without screaming at the screen. We tried to capture those stories in a very visceral way and add another voice to this powerful call to action." Production costs were undertaken by the film's executive producers, Paul Blavin and Regina K. Scully.[46] The video was released the same day as the digital release, with Gaga tweeting out a link to it and adding, "We hope u feel our love & solidarity through the song & perhaps find some peace in knowing u r not alone through this film".[5] Warren believed that the PSA video highlighted her observations about victims coming forward to speak about the assault on them:

It seems like it's all coming out of this dark closet it was in... It was secretive. It wasn't what you talked about. But now, people are saying, 'We're not going to be victims anymore, we're going to call you on it, whether it's on a campus or anywhere'. I want [people] to know they're not alone and they're not victims, but they're survivors.[47]

Actress Nikki Reed portrayed one of the rape victims in the music video.

The clip portrays sexual assaults against mostly women, and how they cope after the incident. The black-and-white video opens with a warning message: "The following contains graphic content that may be emotionally unsettling but reflects the reality of what is happening daily on college campuses."[48] It then shows a girl walking through an empty corridor, followed by young people in various activities in a college campus: reading (portrayed by actress Nikki Reed),[49] a transman adjusting his chest binder in the bathroom,[50] attending a party (one of them being portrayed by actress Kiersey Clemons).[51] However they are all sexually assaulted, with one of the scenes showing a couple of young girls being drugged and raped at the party. The heartbroken girls (and transman) cry, while alternate images show them expressing their emotions by inscribing words on themselves. Ultimately they find solace and hope in friendship, and leave the college with their friends, as the words inscribed on their bodies change to positive messages. Near its ending, the music video displayed the message: "One in five college women will be sexually assaulted this year unless something changes", following which the message points the audience to the Facebook page for The Hunting Ground and Itsonus.org, the support website of the White House, for people who have endured sexual crime. A portion of the earnings from the song's digital sales would be donated to organizations supporting victims of sexual assault.[52]

Reception and analysis

Kornhaber described the video as a "sombre, socially conscious curveball" but wondered why Gaga released the PSA-like video, adding that she has "always been good at surprises, and unfortunately, no time is better than any other when it comes to discussing the issues she's singing about".[13] Christopher Rosen from Entertainment Weekly described the clip as "powerful, disturbing and emotional".[51] Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Radhika Sanghani declared that each scenario in the video appeared realistic and wrote, "by making sure the attacks differ in location, scenario and the appearances of both rapist and victim, Gaga is breaking the myth of there being a 'typical rape'".[53] Corinne Heller from E! believed that the "graphic, emotional and hard to watch" video was able to deliver a "powerful message", one that was close to Gaga due to her real-life rape experience.[49] Wright described the video for NME as a "brutal, monochrome rendering" of the subject matter, with "harrowing" depictions of the rapes. She added that the rape statistics at the end of the video was "horrifying figure" but complimented Gaga for using her popularity to promote awareness about the subject.[25] Loretta Donelan from Bustle believed that Gaga's previous music videos had political aspects but were open to interpretations. But with the music video of "Til It Happens to You", Gaga portrayed maturity but featured "chilling scenes of staged sexual assaults".[54]

Alex Rees from Cosmopolitan felt that the video contained "uncomfortable footage", but added that the "emotionally unsettling" images were able to reflect on the actual reality of what happens in college campuses.[55] Claire Hodgson from the same publication described the clip as a "beautifully shot, brilliantly acted short film", which "really does not hold back when it comes to portraying the real horror of sexual assault in the most graphic way possible".[56] Emily Shire from The Daily Beast was positive to the clip, calling it "both chilling and beautiful. The overall effect is as much, if not more, a credit to acclaimed director Catherine Hardwicke. The brutality of these snapshot scenes are remarkably moving in the scariest and most sickening way possible". However, Shire was disappointed with one aspect of the PSA, that the victims are supported by their friends and close-ones and that was enough to cope through the trauma. Instead Shire wanted to see the legal ramifications of such traumatic incidents, with the victims going to the police. Shire concluded the review saying, "Gaga and Hardwicke deserve props for creating such a powerful, visceral, and aesthetically striking PSA. They've brought a tremendous amount of attention to rape and sexual assault. Yet, attention alone is inadequate balm for the victims of rape."[57] Conversely, Dan Solomon of Fast Company believed the video to be an "important statement" from Gaga and believed that it would direct further attention to The Hunting Ground.[58]

Live performances

Gaga performed "Til It Happens to You" live for the first time on October 29, 2015 at the annual amfAR gala, along with a cover of "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)".[59] She also performed the song at the Billboard Women in Music event on December 11, 2015, where she was presented with the award for Woman of the Year.[60] The song was also performed at an intimate gathering at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills. The audience consisted of the filmmakers and the rape survivors featured in the documentary. Gaga reportedly became emotional while performing the song, and thanked the filmmakers for including the song in the film.[61] Gaga also performed the song at the 2015 Producers Guild of America Awards, where The Hunting Ground was awarded a special recognition trophy.[62] Before performing as actress America Ferrera introduced Gaga, she did not appear on stage for sometime leading to a few moments of "nervous laughter from the audience" and Ferrera trying to joke about the situation, until the singer finally arrived in front of her piano on stage.[63]
