Lady Gaga is set to return to her pop roots with her upcoming seventh studio album, Mayhem. On January 27, 2025, Gaga officially announced the release date for the album, which will be available to fans on March 7. The Grammy-winning artist has been teasing this project for some time, and the excitement has only grown since the release of the album’s title, cover, and confirmation that it will feature 14 tracks. Notably, the album includes previously released songs like “Disease” and “Die With a Smile,” the latter featuring a collaboration with Bruno Mars.
Gaga has described Mayhem as an exploration of chaos and transformation, emphasizing music’s ability to unite, provoke, and heal. In a press release, the singer explained that she initially faced a personal fear of returning to her pop music roots but wanted to approach this project in a fresh and innovative way. Rather than re-creating the sound of her early hits, Gaga says the new album feels like “reassembling a shattered mirror.” While the pieces may not come together perfectly, they still create something beautiful and whole in their own unique way. Fans can expect a mixture of chaos, creativity, and healing energy from Mayhem.
