Surprise! Gwen treated all of the lucky concert goers tonight with her new ballad “Start A War” live in Los Angeles! The track was co-written with Sia and seems like a strong contender for an upcoming single.
Thank you to the fans for capturing this special moment for all of us to enjoy and hear!

It’s such a pretty song. XO
First new song I can actually say I think is really good. I knew it was in there. This definitely should be the next single, after STF she needs to release this its more mature and a slower tempo. So beautiful. She also does some pretty interesting vocals on it too. Love gwens vibrato 🙂
I cannot wait!! so happy! :):):):):)
She sounds great, i really like the song, I want it on iTunes now!
it was incredible
this was the highlight of the show for me ! It gave me chills!!!
One of the images on the back video, showing a staircase, looks a lot like her old house. As for the song, I think I need to listen to it a few more times to know if I like, sobfar I really enjoyed the chorus. Hopefully if this is the new single, that means they might be ready to release her album soon or at least give a date.
OMG I’m crying! So so beautiful. Loving it as 1st listen. lol 😀
I guess she will go Old Hollywood for the video? So much cuteness!
This song is so beautiful. I wish I could hear the lyrics more clearly! I can’t wait. 🙂
The show was beyond my expectations! This song was so lovely, and much better to hear in person…believe that. I can’t wait for HQ. I also won a pair of Beats by Dr. Dre headphones from the MasterCard/Gwen Twitter vending machine thing. All in all it was such an “amazing time”. OH! And before the show my instagram from two days ago was featured. It was shocking!!! I simply posted a picture of Gwen on Thursday saying “See you Saturday” and tonight it was on the big screen before she took the stage. I died! And gained some new followers too haha.
I won beats too!!! And my tweet showed up haha
What a great song needs to be a single!
good song but very different from “spark the fire”. Big surprise
Well, Gwen had ballads on all her albums, so this isn’t really a big surprise 😉
Wow. This is a good song.
Not really Sia’s best work, but definitely a cute song 🙂
Oh Wow 😀 Awww I’m so happy right now, so much stuff happening all at once!!!
YYY, not her worst either. 😉 Actually I prefer Start A War than Elastic Heart or My Heart Is Open, for example.
This song is Gwen down to the ground… Lyrically it reminds me of U Started It? She seems to have endless fuel for these kind of don’t lie to me/please let’s not argue type songs!
I love this side of Gwen too. I like when she’s vulnerable and exposed. That’s why her ballads are always amazing! You can tell this is Sia, but at the same time Gwen made it her own, instead of channelling her like Rihanna for example with Diamonds.
Finally….a good song. Third time is the charm? I dig it. I hope she releases it soon.
Yeah I hope it doesn’t take too long until we get to hear the studio version of this. I feel like this might be a very strong contendor for the next single, so maybe we don’t have to wait very long.
Love it !!! Her ballads never dissapoint. Does sound alot like Elastic Heart, but I think that’s just Sia’s “sound”. If it gets released as a single I hope management gives it a fair shot! (unlike stf & bdl)
This song was beautiful. I was so nice to hear her hit different notes and the lyrics are beautiful!!! I didn’t take too much footage because my seat wasn’t the best but I am glad I was able to hear it firsthand & live!
THank you Gwen.
Finally a great song!
Has anyone tried to figure out the lyrics for Star A War? I can’t make it out most of it from the live video.
Somebody can give me the lyrics of this song pleaaaaaaase!!!
Fans have figured out most of it on the forum http://forums.nodoubt.com/showthread.php?8131-Start-A-War&p=76924&viewfull=1#post76924

I’ve been playing it on repeat. I’m addicted to it. I’d feel happy if Gwen included Together and Start A War (Live at the Orpheum) as bonus tracks on the deluxe edition.
Thanks for the lyrics! I’ve been meaning to get around to transcribing them. I appreciate it. 🙂
Love it.
