born this way

Watch the world premiere of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” video above! The clip was directed by Nick Knight, along with Lady Gaga, the Haus of Gaga creative team and choreographer Laurieann Gibson.

The pop star confirmed last week that she will unleash another “Born This Way” video as well. The second version, she says, “is a more stripped-down version of the song that will be released on iTunes and also released as an audio file. A portion of the money raised selling the song is actually going to go towards an anti-bully charity.”

“Born This Way” is avaible now for free with a pre-order of the Born This Way album from Target.com, and you can also snag the single on iTunes.

“Born This Way,” the first single and title track from the upcoming album from Lady Gaga, has officially been unleashed on the world today, impacting radio at 6am EST and available for purchase online at 9am EST.
