Lady Gaga has written some of pop’s catchiest songs — and her fiancé Michael Polansky is supporting her every step of the way.
Speaking on Australian radio show “Will & Woody” on Friday, March 7, Gaga said music inspiration can strike her at the most inopportune moments and she just has to roll with it.
“It can hit at inconvenient times for sure. When I’m writing a lot, it comes a lot more frequently,” Gaga, 38, explained.
Gaga (whose real name is Stefani Germanotta) added that Polansky doesn’t mind when she has to interrupt their time together to write a new song when the mood hits her.
“It’s like, so cute when I’m with my man, when I’m with Michael, we’ll be doing something and if I’ve been working all day, and then I have another idea, he’s like, ‘Just go do it.’” she continued. “Like, he knows I have to go write the song.”
Gaga explained that the most inconvenient time she’s motivated to write music is in the middle of the night when she’s sleeping.
“I sleep with the phone by the bed and so sometimes, Michael will just hear me being like, [humming.]” she added.
However, not every midnight tune is destined to soar up the charts and become a number one hit.
Gaga said of the late-night songs that missed the mark: “I hear it back and I’m like, man, I thought I was such a genius at 3 a.m. and this is horrible.”

Polansky and Gaga first went public with their relationship in 2019 and confirmed they were engaged while attending the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris in July last year.
In footage shared via Instagram, Gaga spoke to Prime Minister of France Gabriel Attal and introduced Polansky as “my fiancé, Michael.”
In the radio interview, Gaga admitted that it is more important to balance her career and her personal life as she grows up than it was when she was younger.
Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky have celebrated their love for one another since going public in 2019. Two months after the pair were seen spending New Year’s Eve 2020 together in Las Vegas, Us Weekly exclusively confirmed that Polansky attended Gaga’s Super Bowl performance.

“There was definitely 10 years of my life where I was in my 20s and I just was travelling and, you know, my life really revolved around my career,” she said. “I’m 38 now, it’s nice to have a full life that encompasses my friendships and my family more.”
Polansky made rare comments about the couple’s relationship in ELLE’s February 2025 issue.
“Accepting that you won’t have the privacy others might have was the hardest part,” Polansky said of adjusting to his fiancée’s fame. “But Stefani’s comfort with it and patience with me has been amazing. Our relationship is probably a lot like everyone else’s. We just have to figure out how to do some of it in public. That makes it even more important for us to have strong friendships and close family relationships. We find normalcy where we can.”
