MY FAVORITE SONG
Teacher: Student:
Born this way is a song that is full of values linked to identity. This song is in protest
against bullying, homophobia and inequality.
Born This Way is definitely a lyric hymn and with a strong message full of strength. All this
makes this single a powerful theme, addressing issues of concern to society and inspiring
value to those who need it most.
It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
In this first stanza for me, Gaga begins talking about diversity, in this case the diversity
between beliefs. It does not matter if you love God, or your lover, the important thing is to
agree with your convictions. To fight for them, we have to lift our claws, which uses as a
synonym of being strong and brave.
My mama told me when I was young
This is one of the autobiographical points of the song. Lady Gaga relates that she was
combed and made-up by her mother before going to school, little Stefani wanted to go as
neat and beautiful as her mother, whom she admired. It did not matter if her classmates
teased her about going too hairy or painted, she just wanted to be the one she wanted. As
Lady Gaga has already commented in several interviews was a victim of bullying.
This reason led the artist to compose this theme, which is a hymn for all her fans around
the world that gives the value that we all need in the most difficult moments.
I'm beautiful in my way,
And as a final message I want to say that we are all beautiful and perfect in our own way,
we are all different and equal at the same time. We are born in this way, regardless of your
sexual orientation or your origin, we must all enjoy the same freedoms or rights.
