Written in a nostalgic, whiskey-soaked style full of music history references, the article examines how the unexpected pairing created a genuinely artistic track that achieved massive commercial success. Vaughn dissects the song's production, vocal interplay, and emotional authenticity while noting its historical significance - making Gaga the first artist with #1 hits across three decades.
