context_page_description: "A-Yo" is a song recorded by American singer Lady Gaga for her fifth studio album, Joanne. It was released to Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show on October 18, 2016, as the record's second promotional single by Interscope Records. Gaga co-wrote and co-produced the song with Mark Ronson and BloodPop, with Hillary Lindsey being the additional songwriter. A funky, electro-tinged and rock-inspired upbeat country pop track, "A-Yo" lyrically delves on leaving behind one's dislikers.
  Critical reception towards "A-Yo" was positive and the song entered the record charts of multiple countries, including reaching a peak of number 66 on United States' Billboard Hot 100. To promote the track's release, Gaga performed it on concert venues of her Dive Bar Tour and on television shows. It was later added to her set list at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2016, the 2017 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and the Joanne World Tour.
context_section_description: Gaga first performed "A-Yo" on the Dive Bar Tour, a brief three-date promotional tour of U.S. dive bars, with Mark Ronson accompanying her by playing guitar during her performance in The Bitter End (New York City) and The Satellite (Los Angeles). She performed "A-Yo" live on network television along with "Million Reasons", as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live dated October 22, 2016. For "A-Yo", Ronson again assisted Gaga by playing guitar, and the singer did a honky-tonk and go-go dancing inspired performance. Rolling Stone's Daniel Kreps described it as intense singing, with Gaga "feverishly dancing and wildly shredding on her guitar". Paste's Chris White called Gaga an "incredible performer and vocalist" based on the performances, adding that she "understands the stagecraft of playing live music on [the SNL stage]". Three days later, she appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden on CBS Television City studios, and delivered the opening monologue, while also performing "A-Yo". The same month she performed "A-Yo" during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, while wearing a glittering, black catsuit.
  Gaga next performed "A-Yo" during her set at the 2017 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. While singing she played a special guitar, which was in wireless connection with her phone, allowing her to change its colour during the performance. "A-Yo" was performed as the second song on the Joanne World Tour (2017–2018) shows, where she again played the guitar. She wore a black bejeweled fringe leotard and a crystallized hat for the performance.
