Lady Gaga’s “Always Remember Us This Way”, from the film A Star Is Born, has become a timeless anthem for romantic souls across New Zealand. With its raw piano melody and deeply emotional lyrics, the song resonates with Kiwis who value authentic storytelling, heartfelt performances, and the kind of artistry that transcends pop.

Whether played at weddings in Wanaka, sunset road trips through the Coromandel, or acoustic sets in Wellington’s indie music bars, this ballad has carved out a special place in New Zealand’s music culture. Its blend of cinematic beauty and stripped-down vulnerability reflects what many Kiwi listeners crave — songs that speak to real human emotion.

In a country where local singer-songwriters like Bic Runga and Marlon Williams are known for their soulful depth, “Always Remember Us This Way” feels right at home. Gaga’s performance not only earned global acclaim but also inspired countless covers by Kiwi artists and students alike. It’s a reminder that music has the power to bridge oceans — and tug on heartstrings from Auckland to Invercargill.
