Shallow brought home the bacon for A Star Is Born during a disappointing night at the Golden Globes.

Bradley Cooper and Lady Gagas 2018 movie was expected to clean up at Sunday nights ceremony, but only ended up winning in one of its five nominated categories.

Its no surprise, therefore, that Gaga was pictured in tears as Shallow was announced as the winner for the Best Original Song category, beating Black Panthers All The Stars, A Private Wars Requiem For A Private War, Boy Eraseds Revelation and Girl In The Movies from Dumplin.

So who wrote the iconic track for the 2018 remake of A Star Is Born?

Lady Gaga was very much involved in Shallows creation, both performing it alongside Bradley Cooper and co-writing it.

BGUK_1449509 - ** RIGHTS: WORLDWIDE EXCEPT IN UNITED STATES ** Los Angeles, CA - Lady Gaga bursts into tears as she wins a Golden Globe for Best Original Song for Shallow. Lady Gaga was emotional as she earned her very first Golden Globe and opened up about it being 'hard to be taken seriously' as a woman in music. The 32-year-old singer and actress accepted the Best Original Song trophy for her work on A Star Is Born smash hit Shallow. When Taylor Swift and Idris Elba declared her the winner, Gaga's eyes welled up with tears. After giving A Star Is Born director and costar Bradley Cooper a hug, a tear-filled Gaga took the stage alongside her fellow songwriters Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt, and Anthony Rossomando to accept the award for the song. During the acceptance speech she said: "I just have to say, as a woman in music, it is really hard to be taken seriously as a musician and a songwriter. These three incredible men, they lifted me up and supported me." Gaga then added: "Bradley, I love you." Songwriter Mark Ronson also gave Cooper, who directed and starred in A Star Is Born, a sweet shoutout. "Thank you, Bradley Cooper. You took our heartfelt honest tune and you gave it emotional resonance," he said.

Shallow lyrics

Shallow
Tell me somethin, girl
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there somethin else youre searchin for?

Im falling
In all the good times I find myself
Longin for change
And in the bad times I fear myself

Tell me something, boy
Arent you tired tryin to fill that void?
Or do you need more?
Aint it hard keeping it so hardcore?

Im falling
In all the good times I find myself
Longing for change
And in the bad times I fear myself

Im off the deep end, watch as I dive in
Ill never meet the ground
Crash through the surface, where they cant hurt us
Were far from the shallow now

In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
Were far from the shallow now

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoah!

Im off the deep end, watch as I dive in
Ill never meet the ground
Crash through the surface, where they cant hurt us
Were far from the shallow now

In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
Were far from the shallow now

Gaga, 32, sobbed after Taylor Swift and Idris Elba read her name out for the award, her second Golden Globe after she won her for work in American Horror Story.

She turned to her fiance Christian Carino before pal Bradley Cooper – who directed her in the film and was also her co-star – gave her a big hug.

All four songwriters headed to the stage to collect the award, with Mark taking the mic on stage and thanking Gaga for being the captain and genius behind Shallow.

When you write a song with Gaga all youre doing is making yourself into the best supporting cast you can be, the genius comes from you, its up there, he said.

Youre the one who led us in to the deep waters and truly made this song what it is with your devastating performance in the film as an actor and singer and we thank you for that.

However, it was beaten in four of its five categories, only taking home the gong for Best Song.

Instead, Bohemian Rhapsody took the awards for Best Motion Picture and its lead actor Rami Malek for Best Actor. These were the only two categories Bohemian Rhapsody had been nominated in.

The Best Actress Globe went to Glenn Close, a previous two-time winner, for her role in The Wife. Many now hope this win will see her glide into the favourite position for the Oscar, an award she has been nominated for six times but yet to win.

The Best Director went to Alfonso Cuaron for Roma.
