On January 23, Lady Gaga reminded those at the 2016 Producers Guild of America (PGA) Awards of why “Til It Happens to You,” the theme for The Hunting Ground that she co-wrote with Diane Warren, feels personal.

She told the crowd of how her father’s sister was sexually assaulted in college — the exact sort of traumatizing (and oft-overlooked) incident that The Hunting Ground explores. She then performed the emotional ballad, and while she didn’t have an orchestra backing her as in the studio version, this live rendition had just as much gravitas, with her voice being as resilient as ever.

Lady Gaga was also there to accept the PGA’s Stanley Kramer Award, which recognizes those “whose achievement or contribution illuminates and raises public awareness of important social issues.” Watch her perform the winning song below.
