Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars release retro Nashville inspired music video for their new song, “Die With a Smile.”

The stripped-back video (below) dropped late Thursday night, and its late-night vibe carried through the visual’s aesthetic. Beginning with Mars strumming a guitar in a ’70s-inspired TV studio populated by faceless mannequins, the vintage ballad kicks off with the “Grenade” singer lamenting the thought of living life without his love.
“I just woke up from a dream where you and I had to say goodbye / And I don’t know what it all means / But since I survived / I realized wherever you go that’s where I’ll follow. Nobody’s promised tomorrow / So I’mma love you every night like it’s the last night,” he sings at the top of the song, before taking on the chorus: “If the world was ending I’d wanna be next to you / If the party was over and our time on Earth was through / I’d wanna hold you just for a while and die with a smile / If the world was ending, I’d wanna be next to you.”
“Lost in the words that we scream / I don’t even wanna do this anymore / Because you already know what you mean to me / And our love is the only war worth fighting for,” she croons. “Wherever you go / That’s where I’ll follow / Nobody’s promised tomorrow / So I’mma love you every night like it’s the last night.”
The duo then launch into the soaring chorus together, and finish off the video with a sweet look into each other’s eyes while a heart shape forms around them.
