創作背景
2016年，新視鏡唱片公司的管理人員Aaron Bay-Schuck在聽過專輯《Joanne》的最初構想後，將Lady Gaga介紹給了鄉村音樂人希拉蕊·林賽，之後Lady Gaga給希拉蕊·林賽播放了一系列她自己創作的小樣帶 。Lady Gaga給希拉蕊·林賽講述了幾首歌的背後故事，而《Million Reasons》是其中一首，於是希拉蕊·林賽加入了該曲的創作 。對於該曲，Lady Gaga表示她生命中遇到的的所有男性，包括父親和交往過的男友，總是給Lady Gaga“百萬個理由”離開，而Lady Gaga只想用一個理由讓自己堅持下去 。
歌曲歌詞
You're giving me a million reasons to let you go
You're giving me a million reasons to quit the show
You're givin' me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons
If I had a highway, I would run for the hills
If you could find a driveway, I'd forever be still
But you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons
I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay
Head stuck in a cycle, I look off and I stare
It's like that I've stopped breathing but completely aware
Cuz you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons
And if you say something that you might even mean
It's hard to even fathom which parts I should believe
Cuz you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons
I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay
Hey, ehh, ehh, eyy
Baby I'm bleedin' bleedin'
Ehh, ehh, ehhy
Can't you give me what I'm needin' needin'
Every heartbreak
Makes it hard to keep the faith
But baby I just need one good one，Good one, good one, good one, good one, good one
When I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one good one
Tell me that you'll be the good one good one
Baby, I just need one good one to stay
歌曲鑑賞
《Million Reasons》是專輯《Joanne》中相對簡單的一首歌曲，Lady Gaga在該曲中找到了可靠的立足點，那就是一段失敗情感帶來的憂鬱心情，其中包括為了請求這段關係能夠繼續下去所嘗試的最為深刻的最後努力 。《Million Reasons》的配器退到了Lady Gaga的肉嗓之後，她化繁為簡，抓住最好聽的那段旋律反覆吟唱。失望的愛戀之後是自我剖析與困惑，這是流行里的標配 。
歌曲MV
million reasonsGaGa一個人失意地躺在荒原上，她的朋友和團隊找到了她。她意識到自己並不是一個人在硬撐，決定繼續打拚。
過去的團隊把她當做賺錢機器一樣的壓榨，身心疲憊的她立刻就得回來投入到表演中，整個氛圍都是冰冷的感覺(所以用的灰色調)，說明講的是以前的故事，而第二次車開過來是象徵新的開端，特寫新團隊給她一個溫暖的擁抱。
