  • Positive messages0
    This song includes a shockingly negative message about taking your own life. 
  • Positive role models0
    It's unclear what Lady Gaga is trying to say about suicide. Is she glamorizing it? Is she telling the story as a cautionary tale? Either way, impressionable kids may be confused about the message.
  • Violence4
    Lady Gaga mentions different methods of suicide (taking pills and leaving a note, doing it in a swiming pool "so everybody sees"), loosely alluding to Princess Diana's tragic life and death (in a car crash) throughout the track.

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that "Princess Die" is a decidedly violent song about a girl committing suicide. Lady Gaga details different possible methods (taking pills and leaving a note, doing it in a swiming pool "so everybody sees"), loosely alluding to Princess Diana's tragic life and death (in a car crash) throughout the track. There is one use of "s--t." Overall, the single sends all the wrong messages to young tweens and teens trying to find constructive ways to cope with complex emotions.

Not for kids & under
 
Posers!
I think that if ur under 14 you wouldnt be able to understand it because its such a heavy topic hopefully when it is released ( the in studio one) it would not be played on the radio because who would want to ruin a good song with a bunch of posers listening to it. Thats what happend to you and i ! It has a positive role model cuz its lady gaga!
