Lady Gaga will release her highly anticipated seventh studio album, *Mayhem*, on March 7. The Grammy-winning songwriter and actor revealed in a statement that the album explores themes like chaos and transformation, marking a reinvention of her early musical style with a kaleidoscopic approach.
The album features 14 tracks, including two singles that have already gained significant traction: “Disease,” which peaked at No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, and “Die With a Smile,” a Bruno Mars collaboration that spent three weeks at No. 1. Gaga previously noted her feeling of being “more on my game” with this project, comparing it to a decade of uncertainty.
According to press materials, *Mayhem* will follow last year’s *Harlequin*, the companion album to *Joker: Folie à Deux*. Gaga will debut the third single and accompanying music video for *Mayhem* on Sunday during a commercial break at the Grammy Awards.
Additionally, she is set to join Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Nicks, and Joni Mitchell at a FireAid benefit benefiting communities affected by the Los Angeles wildfires later in the week. The album will be released globally, with Gaga sharing details about its creation during her acceptance speech for Best Original Song at last year’s Grammys.
