Following a slew of teasers, including a website countdown and cross country billboards, Lady Gaga has announced her highly anticipated seventh studio album.
The new album, Mayhem, will mark Gaga’s “return” to her “pop roots,” according to a release. The 14-track album, which will feature the previously release singles “Disease” and “Die with a Smile,” comes on the heels of the 38-year-old singer’s 2024 album, Harlequin, based on her Joker: Folie à Deux character, Harley Quinn.
Gaga is slated to debut her third single in a commercial break during Sunday’s 2025 Grammy Awards. “The album started as me facing my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved,” the Grammy- and Oscar-winning performer said in a statement.

The album is described as reinventing the singer’s early music while “embracing a fresh and fearless artistic perspective.” The singer said in statement that her creative process resembles “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.”
Mayhem kicks off a big year for Gaga musically. It was announced she’d be receiving the 2025 iHeartRadio Innovator Award during the iHeartRadio Music Awards in March. The A Star is Born actress is also headlining this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, alongside Green Day and Post Malone.
