In a press statement, Gaga described the album's writing process as “reassembling a shattered mirror."

“The album began with me confronting my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved," she wrote. "Even if you can’t put the pieces back together perfectly, you can still create something beautiful and whole in its own unique way.”

An official billboard appeared in Times Square with the announcement earlier this morning.

The lead-up to the album's announcement started last week, when a mysterious countdown appeared on Gaga's official website. Upon scrubbing the screen, "LG1" appeared behind the site's background, in the signature font of "The Fame" era.

The next day, the site's appearance changed, ditching the hazy blue background for a flowing black one. This time, scrubbing the screen revealed "LG2," in the font from "The Fame Monster" album cover. This continued until Monday, January 27, when "Mayhem" was officially announced.

Gaga first teased her return at the end of the "GAGA Chromatica Ball" concert special in May, when a brief snippet of new music played beside the words "GAGA RETURNS."

After teasing two new snippets following her performance at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, Gaga released "Disease," the lead single, on Oct. 25, 2024. 

In December, Gaga told the Los Angeles Times that "Die With a Smile," her Hot 100-topping collaboration with Bruno Mars, will be included on "Mayhem." The song has already exceeded 1 billion streams on Spotify.
