"Is That Alright?" is a song from the 2018 film A Star Is Born and soundtrack of the same name, performed by Lady Gaga. It was written and produced by Lady Gaga, Mark Nilan Jr., Nick Monson, and Paul "DJWS" Blair with additional writing from Aaron Raitiere.

Background and composition

The song was written and produced by Gaga, Mark Nilan Jr., Nick Monson, and Paul "DJWS" Blair with Aaron Raitiere providing additional writing.[1] It is Ally's ode to Jackson (characters in A Star Is Born), painting a picture of their romance as Gaga alternates between tender storyteller and throaty power belter, declaring "wanna see your face when I fall with grace at the moment I die".[2] The song is performed in the key of G major with a moderate tempo of 105 beats per minute in common time. It follows a chord progression of G–G/B–Em–C during the verses and G–Em–G/B-G during the chorus, and the vocals span from E3 to E5.[3]

Critical reception

According to Joey Morona from The Plain Dealer, "Is That Alright?" is a moving love song with Gaga's signature emotion and power.[4] Wren Graves from Consequence of Sound called it a big Broadway ballad.[5]
