This song by American recording artist Lady Gaga was premiered during her performance in England at Elton John's 12th annual White Tie and Tiara Ball on June 24, 2010. On her Twitter, the New York star described "You and I" as a "new song ... written in NY on the piano I grew up on." Gaga described the song to her audience as a bit of a "rock-and-roll tune." She went on to say that it will probably never be used as one of her singles, but the song is very dear to her heart.
Legendary Queen guitarist Brian May plays guitar on this track. "It's always been Gaga's dream to perform as Queen. If it wasn't for Queen, there would be no Gaga," a source told UK newspaper The Daily Mirror. "This collaboration with Brian May means the world to her."
Lady Gaga famously took her name from a Queen song, "Radio Ga Ga."
American Idol contestant Haley Reinhart performed the song on the contest a few weeks before the release of Born This Way. She'd been presented with the tune by in-house mentor Jimmy Iovine and sang it with Gaga's blessing.
