Lady Gaga Announces ‘MAYHEM’ Her Seventh Album: Title, Release Date, and Tracklist

The artist has revealed a few surprises in a mysterious trailer

Archivado en: Lady Gaga  •  

Lady Gaga recently dropped her new single ‘Disease,’ and it’s not just her fans who are excited—it’s created a buzz worldwide. Now, Gaga has finally revealed the release date for her highly anticipated new album. She announced the news on her website with a countdown that featured the typography from all her previous albums. When it hit zero, the big reveal was made.

MAYHEM is set to be her seventh studio album. Gaga has even called Harlequinn, her Joker: Folie à Deux-inspired project, her ‘album 6.5,’ following Chromatica. The release date is now official.

The album cover features a dramatic shot of Gaga peering through shattered glass, keeping her signature style front and center. Fans won’t have to wait much longer—the album will be available on March 7. Right now, only the pre-save option is live, but her official pages have hinted at more exciting details.

An Album Full of Surprises

The album will include fourteen new tracks, including ‘Disease’ and ‘Die with a Smile,’ her hit collaboration with Bruno Mars. The rest of the tracklist is still a mystery—unless her fans can decode any clues from the cryptic trailer she released.

Judging by this new aesthetic, it looks like fans of Lady Gaga—known as Mother Monster—were right in predicting a darker phase in her career. While her collaboration with Bruno Mars is quite different from the first official single, ‘Disease,’ the visuals accompanying the album announcement hint at a tone that brings to mind Chromatica, while also nodding to the vibe of The Fame Monster and Born This Way.

There’s speculation that the album, based on its covers—one rumored to feature an alternate design showing Gaga in a close-up profile, reflected in a mirror—might explore themes introduced in ‘Disease.’ These could include the duality of her personality, how fame has shaped who she is, and perhaps a return to the “monsters” she sang about during her The Fame Monster era. Titles like ‘Perfect Celebrity’ and ‘The Beast’ seem to support this, especially with the recent reveal of the tracklist.

A Chaotic Tracklist

From what we’ve seen so far, MAYHEM seems to signal the return of Gaga’s darker side. The album’s title itself translates to chaos, turmoil, and violence—all of which are reflected in the industrial synth-pop sound and intense lyrics of ‘Disease.’

As for the rest of the album, we now know the number of tracks and some of their titles. But deciphering them from the teasers requires a sharp eye and a good imagination:

While this isn’t the official tracklist yet, we’re still waiting for Gaga or her team to share a clear announcement, these are some of the potential tracks:

  1. Disease
  2. Abracadabra
  3. Garden of Eden
  4. Perfect Celebrity
  5. Vanish Into You
  6. Killah (feat. Gesafelstein)
  7. Zombieboy
  8. Lovedrug
  9. Bad Do I want
  10. Don’t Call Tonight
  11. Shadow of a Man
  12. The Beast
  13. Blade of Grass
  14. Die With a Smile (with Bruno Mars)

 

Titles like ‘Garden of Eden’ have been circulating on social media for months. Meanwhile, ‘Shadow of a Man’ clears up one of the biggest mysteries from the album’s early hints—those four words were heard at the end of the Chromatica Ball, the concert recorded for Max, which wrapped up with the announcement of Gaga’s seventh studio album.

When it comes to collaborations, there’s only one that fans didn’t already know about: Gesaffelstein, the well-known French electronic musician. It’s possible his feature is on Killah, a track rumored to have been teased to fans outside Gaga’s hotel after her performance at the Paris Olympic Games.

Gaga has left plenty of questions unanswered, but her Little Monsters are already buzzing with theories on social media. Now, the countdown truly begins for one of the most anticipated comebacks in years—the return of the Gaga fans have been waiting for.
