What more even needs to be said about this instantly iconic banger of a tune from A Star Is Born?

It's been the favourite to scoop the Best Original Song Oscar for the entirety of awards season, and there's virtually zero chance it doesn't win the gold statue.

The goosebump-raising pull of Lady Gaga's vocals alone make this an absolute masterwork, but the poignant instrumentalisation and the song's use in the context of the movie is nothing short of perfection.

Even if you're not typically a fan of broader pop licks such as this, the production, the slow-build and the sheer emotion of the piece is extraordinarily overwhelming no matter your personal tastes.
