For Joanne, Lady Gaga set the dancefloor production aside. Her fifth studio album, originally released in 2016, was made with Mark Ronson and BloodPop and leans on soft rock, Americana, and country, with guests including Josh Homme, Kevin Parker, and Florence Welch on Hey Girl. The title refers to her aunt Joanne Stefani Germanotta, who died before Gaga was born, and the lyrics deal with family, loss, and resilience. Perfect Illusion, Million Reasons, and A-Yo were released as singles, and the album reached number one in the United States.

This edition is a 2-LP on pink vinyl.
