The video uploaded on Lady Gaga's YouTube channel gives viewers a glimpse into the through process and efforts that went behind creating the album cover for Gaga and Bennett's Love for Sale. The video starts with Bennett telling Gaga, "I was thinking of doing a sketch of you for the cover — a nice, clean picture of you." Gaga couldn't believe her ears at first, but then said, "I would love that."

The video features melodious music playing in the background as Bennett sketches away with his steady hand and Gaga poses for him in a shimmering black dress. However, when the singer and songwriter, who is known for her chart-topping numbers including Bad Romance, Telephone, Alejandro and many more saw the sketch Bennett had made of her, she became overwhelmed as tears filled her eyes. She said, "It's beautiful, it's so beautiful. It makes me cry." The trailer for the album was also released recently and featured some behind-the-scenes clips from the album.

Gaga had earlier revealed that Love for Sale would be her final album with Bennett after he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The first time the two musical icons got together was for the cover of The Lady Is a Tramp for Duets II, Bennett's 2011 album. The duo also went on the Cheek to Cheek tour between 2014 and 2015, before Bennett was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2016. Susan Benedetto, Bennett's wife had earlier mentioned that his medical team had encouraged him to continue working on his music.
