LADY GaGa says Madonna loves her new single, Born This Way — even thought it sounds like the Queen of Pop’s smash hit Express Yourself!

“You know, there is really no one that is a more adoring and loving Madonna fan than me. I am the hugest fan personally and professionally,” GaGa said.

“The good news is, I got an email from her people sending me their love and support on behalf of the single. And if the queen says it shall be, then it shall be.”

“Essentially, with the visuals and the music and all of the lyrics, it’s about being able to know that when you were born, you weren’t just born in that moment,” she added.

“You have your entire life to realize the person that you’re potentially going to become and however you choose to be is part of your destiny…In this moment, if you don’t feel entirely happy and secure in who you are…it’s never too late to harness your confidence, your inner superstars.”

“The freedom in the song, the R&B, early ’90s vibe that it has,” she continued, “it’s so full of love and spirit, and I think that it’s the spirit that people are reacting to the most. I just want everyone to rejoice and celebrate and be unafraid to be happy. It doesn’t always have to be so dark. It doesn’t always have to be so sexy. Sometimes it’s wonderful just to celebrate life and kind of go to church with it.”

GaGa recently revealed she smokes marijuana when she is writing new songs.

“I still smoke a lot of pot when I write music,” she said. “So I’m not gonna, like, sugar coat it for 60 Minutes that I’m some, like, sober human being, ’cause I’m not.”
