The news comes amid a series of teases from the pop star for her new album. At the end of her concert film Gaga Chromatica Ball, Gaga first revealed the existence of the new record, with the words “LG7 GAGA RETURNS” flashing across the screen. Then, following her performance at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the star took to the streets outside of her hotel to play eager fans two short snippets of new songs off the project.

Fans got a first glimpse at what new music from her album might sound like with “Die With a Smile,” the singer’s romantic collaboration with Bruno Mars. The song debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated Aug. 31, marking the singer’s highest charting track since her 2020 Ariana Grande team-up “Rain on Me” reached No. 1.
