Why Did You Do That
"Why Did You Do That?" is a song recorded by American singer Lady Gaga for the 2018 film '' A Star Is Born'' and released on the soundtrack of the same name. It was written by Gaga with Diane Warren, Mark Nilan Jr., Nick Monson and Paul "DJWS" Blair, and produced by all but Warren.
