Lady Gaga’s new single is a powerful message about sexual assault.
‘Till It Happens To You’, the official soundtrack for campus rape documentary, The Hunting Ground, is a Diane Warren-penned track about experiencing loss in life. It’s a dark track, to be honest, and it is relatable.
The video, on the other hand, is horribly gruesome. Opens with a warning of its graphic content, this video shows three rape incidents that regularly happen in many colleges and it is a clear message on how we need to fight this epidemic that is plaguing our society today.
Watch the video below and make sure you buy the song here because a portion of the song’s sale proceeds will be donated to organisations that help survivors of sexual assault.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars.
