A heartfelt rendition of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood classic Won’t You Be My Neighbor? sung by Lady Gaga is the center of this year's Big Game ad from Rocket Companies, which acquired Seattle-based Redfin in 2025. A teaser for the reimagining of the iconic tune takes viewers behind the scenes at Shangri-La Studios, offering a different approach to many high-energy Big Game ads, sonically and visually, but Lady Gaga singing Won’t You Be My Neighbor? promises to make just as much of an impact.
The full 60-second commercial will debut during the Super Bowl LX broadcast. Rocket’s Chief Marketing Officer, Jonathan Mildenhall, said, "This work is about reviving belief in the American Dream and reminding people that finding a home and a community is still possible.”
