Mayhem will be released on March 7th
Lady Gaga has announced her seventh studio album, Mayhem, due March 7th via Interscope Records. The announcement follows a week of teasers on her website, which was relaunched alongside a new storefront featuring the first of several merch drops to celebrate the highly anticipated project. Blending the eclectic energy that first captivated her fans with a bold, fearless artistic vision, Mayhem marks a triumphant return to Gaga’s pop roots as the album explores themes of chaos and transformation, celebrating music’s power to unite, provoke, and heal.
“The album started as me facing my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved,” states Gaga. Far from a nostalgic throwback, Mayhem reinvents her early sound with a kaleidoscopic approach that draws from her expansive musical library while embracing a fresh and fearless artistic perspective. Gaga describes the creative process as “reassembling a shattered mirror: even if you can’t put the pieces back together perfectly, you can create something beautiful and whole in its own new way.”
The 14-track project—which features previously released songs “Disease” and “Die With a Smile”—was executive produced by Gaga, Michael Polansky and Andrew Watt. Producers on the album include Gaga, Andrew Watt, Cirkut, and Gesaffelstein.
“Die With a Smile,” Gaga’s chart-topping collaboration with Bruno Mars, has become a global sensation. Currently, in its third week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the ballad also topped the Billboard Global 200 and Spotify’s Top 50 Global, setting a record as the fastest song to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify. With over 2.7 billion streams to date, the song is nominated for two 2025 Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
Gaga will debut the third single and accompanying music video from Mayhem for fans on February 2, airing during a commercial break at the 2025 Grammy Awards. The full tracklist for the album will be revealed at a later date.
Ahead of the Grammys, Gaga will join artists including Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Nicks, and Joni Mitchell to perform at FireAid on January 30th, benefiting the people and communities devastated by the recent LA wildfires. On March 17th, she will be honored with the 2025 iHeartRadio Innovator Award at the 12th annual iHeartRadio Music Awards, followed by a headlining performance at Coachella on April 11th and 18th.
