The story behind "I'll Never Love Again" is as heartbreaking as the song itself, blending the fictional tragedy of the film with a real-life loss experienced by Lady Gaga during filming. The On-Screen Story
The song was written by Jackson for Ally, but he never got to finish it. Ally finds the lyrics he tucked away and performs it as her final tribute to him. The music video features footage from this scene, cutting between Ally’s raw performance at the Shrine Auditorium and tender, intimate flashbacks of Jackson playing the song for her at home. The Real-Life Heartbreak
In the 2018 film A Star Is Born , this song serves as the emotional climax. After the death of her husband, Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper), Ally (Lady Gaga) performs this ballad at his memorial service.
The tears and grief seen in the music video/film are genuine; Gaga has stated that she felt her friend’s spirit in the room during the performance.
Gaga left the set to be with her, but Sonja passed away ten minutes before Gaga arrived. After spending time with Sonja’s husband, Gaga returned to the set, insisted on filming the scene, and dedicated the performance to her friend.
Cooper, who also directed the film, reportedly pulled Gaga aside and told her she didn't have to do it that day, but she felt she needed to "sing for Sonja."
