Lady Gaga releases emotional music video for 'Hold My Hand' from the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack

Lady Gaga delighted fans this week, dropping her her powerful new song 'Hold My Hand' to feature on the soundtrack for the new Top Gun: Maverick movie

And now the 36-year-old pop star has released the track's music video.

The video, shot in both black-and-white and colour, features Gaga singing, footage from the new film, as well as clips from 1986's Top Gun, hitting all the right nostalgic notes.

At one point, the video hits emotional notes as Maverick is shown with Anthony Edwards' Nick "Goose" Bradshaw, holding him as the character dies.

The track is a soaring rock tune with violins and guitar licks that harken back to the power ballads of the '80s.

And the epic anthem is already being tipped for a possible Best Original Song Oscar at the 2023 Academy Awards.

Gaga previously won Best Original Song at the 2019 Oscars for 'Shallow,' which she recorded with Bradley Cooper for their acclaimed romantic drama A Star Is Born.

The first Top Gun won the Oscar for Best Original Song for Berlin's 'Take My Breath Away'.

The eagerly anticipated fighter plane action sequel sees Tom Cruise reprise his role as Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell from the original 1986 blockbuster.
