Lady Gaga is using her singing powers for a good cause.
The Grammy winner has released a new song titled "Til It Happens To You," made for the college campus rape documentary The Hunting Ground. The song is coupled with a haunting video, written and directed by Catherine Hardwicke, that highlights the brutal reality of sexual assault. Actresses Nikki Reed and Kiersey Clemons star in the video.

A portion of proceeds from the song will be donated to organizations helping survivors of sexual assault, Gaga tweeted.
