I
E5 B4 C#5
I just woke up from a dream
E5 C#5 C#5 F#5 G#5 F#5 C#5
Where you and I had to say goodbye
A4 E5 C#5 C#5 E5 C#5 C#5 B4 C#5 D5 C#5
And I don’t know what it all means
B4 E5 C#5 C#5 F#5 G#5 F#5 C#5
But since I survived I realized
A4 E5 C#5 B4 E5 C#5 C#5 B4 C#5 D5 C#5
Wherever you go that’s where I’ll follow
B4 C#5 B4 C#5 C#5 C#5 B4 A4 E5 C#5
Nobody’s promised tomorrow
C#5 B4 C#5 C#5 B4 A4 G#5 E5
So I’ma love you every night like it’s the last night
E5 G#5 F#5 G#5 F#5 G#5 F#5 G#5 G#5 G#5 F#5 A5 G#5 F#5
Like it’s the last night
G#5 G#5 F#5 A5 G#5 F#5
If the world was ending I’d wanna be next
F#5 F#5 A5 F#5 A5 F#5 G#5 G#5 G#5 A5 B5
To you
E5 G#5 C#6 G#5 F#5
If the party was over
F#5 F#5 A5 F#5 F#5 A5 F#5
And our time on Earth
E5 G#5 G#5 A5 B5
Was through
E5 G#5 C#6 G#5 F#5
I’d wanna hold you just for a while
F#5 F#5 E5 F#5 D5 D5 B4 A4 G#4
And die with a smile
E5 B5 B5 C#6 A5 F#5
If the world was ending I’d wanna be next to you
A5 A5 A5 F#5 D5 C#5 B4 B4 B4 A4 C#5 A4 G#4
“Die With a Smile” marked a powerful return for Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, both of whom had taken a two to three-year hiatus from releasing new music. The song was surprise-announced just a day before its official release on August 15, and dropped at midnight EST along with an accompanying music video.
In her announcement post, Gaga revealed that the track was meant as a gift to fans—a holdover until the arrival of her much-anticipated seventh studio album, which she had been teasing throughout 2024. Eventually, “Die With a Smile” was featured as the final track on the album, titled MAYHEM, released in 2025.
The duet quickly gained momentum on social media and went on to win “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards. With an impressive 121 consecutive days at #1 on Spotify’s daily global chart, the soft rock ballad set a new record as the longest-running top hit in the platform’s history. It also climbed to the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart, further cementing its success.
