Does Lady Gaga deserve credit for writing “Til It Happens to You?”
This is the question that Linda Perry posed to Twitter last night (January 17), less than a week after Gaga and Diane Warren received an Oscar nomination for their theme for The Hunting Ground. “I love Gaga so much respect and love this song that has nothing to do with anything,” Linda says. “Why did Gaga get credit?”
Linda also claims that only the song’s final line had been changed since Lady Gaga recorded the track, from “Til you got a hole ripped in your soul” to “Til you’re at the end, the end of your rope” — that, and another artist was originally going to sing the song. She also theorizes why Mother Monster and Diane Warren would do such a thing — read below.
LINDA PERRYNormally I wouldn’t respond to all this but I don’t know Im feeling spunky. There was another artist that originally was gonna sing #TIHTY
I have Diane’s original demo with her singing. The only line that has been changed “Till you’re at the end, the end of your rope”
Originally was “TIL YOU GOT A HOLE RIPPED IN YOUR SOUL”. So I guess technically one line was changed so sure Gaga possibly “rewrote” a line
But chances are Diane still took part in rewriting that line which means Gaga contributed a few words. Is that writing? Not in my book.

Diane wanted to ensure her support in promoting the song. Gaga is a very smart business women she knew a song written by Diane Warren
Would be up for an Oscar. And you know it’s hard getting music out there and heard. Especially a song from a documentary , so Diane knew

Listen, one of you Gaga kids got upset when I said Diane wrote a great song. You can’t win on Twitter. I’m stating why I didn’t include.

Don’t turn things negative. I’m stating my truth that’s it if you don’t like it, it’s ok just don’t spend anytime here.
