After dropping a series of teasers on herofficial website, Gaga, 38, announced on Monday, Jan. 27 that herseventh studio albumMayhemwill be released on March 7.
The project will feature 14 tracks, including the previously released songs “Disease” and “Die With a Smile” withBruno Mars.
In a press release, the Grammy winner revealedMayhemwill be all about returning to her roots in a new way. “The album started as me facing my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved,” Gaga said in a statement.
Rather than simply re-creating the sound of her early hits, however, Gaga describes her new album’s style as being akin to “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.”
Per the release,Mayhemis about “chaos and transformation, celebrating music’s power to unite, provoke, and heal.”
Gaga fans won’t have to wait long to hear another new track off her upcoming album. The “Bad Romance” singer will debut the third single fromMayhem, alongside a music video, during a commercial break at the2025 Grammy Awardson Feb. 2.
The completeMayhemtrack list will be unveiled at a later date.

“Every song that I wrote, I just kept getting kind of swept away in these different dreams I was having about the past — almost like a recollection of all these bad decisions that I made in my life,” she added, noting that the album “ends in this very happy place.”
