Lady Gaga wrote this song after her dad had received heart surgery. He called her claiming he was “ready to die” and she was so distraught by his comment, that she wrote a song for/about him. She then played it to him live while they drank shots of whisky at the piano. Gaga recorded this performance and used it as the very first “Speechless” demo, that she played for her label who asked her to record it professionally with producer Ron Fair.
