In the video, she addressed which song she wishes she released as a single, revealed which songs she'll never stop performing and teased her upcoming seventh studio album "Mayhem," to be released March 7, 2025.Ā
Watch the interview and read some of its highlights below:
What track she wishes she released as a single:
Gaga said she would've picked "Bloody Mary," but then changed her mind: "I don't think that song would've been big when I put out 'Born This Way.'"Ā
She called the song "ahead of its time," and joked that she didn't know if Jenna Ortega, her co-star in the upcoming second season of "Wednesday," was alive when she released it.Ā
She feels like fans would have really liked it if "Government Hooker" had been a single: "But, you know, they can't always get what they want."Ā
Her favorite lyric she's written:
Gaga revealed a snippet of new lyrics from an unnamed "Mayhem" song:
"Saw your face in mine
In a picture by our bedside
It was cold in the summertime
We were happy just to be alive"
She said she specifically loves the "cold in the summertime" line.
How she would describe "Mayhem" in three words:
Dark, poetry, hard: "I definitely didn't adhere to any one genre, but the beats are all really hard, so that was sort of the through line, is sonically, the album is pretty hard-hitting."Ā
What excites her most in fashion right now:
Gaga said she loves watching young designers and name-dropped Ilona Perla Marie-Claire Slama, who creates babydoll dresses like the one she wore in "Elton John: Still Standing" and on ELLE's UKĀ March 2025 cover: "I've been wearing those a lot. Makes me feel like a porcelain doll."Ā
The biggest risk she's taken musically:
Despite a lot of people not wanting her to do it, Gaga said she thinks a lot of people thought she was crazy for making jazz: "I love all different kinds of music, and I feel like part of the joy of being a musician is that you are a student, and if you are not a student, for me, that's kind of a boring expedition. It's kind of like being an explorer, but you don't really want to find anything."
The songs she'll never stop performing:
Gaga had three picks ā "Born This Way," "Bad Romance" and her vocal warm-ups: "I'll always do those in the shower, for sure."Ā
The Easter egg she didn't think fans would catch:
Regarding Easter eggs, Gaga said, "I feel like I make them really easy. I should get better at making them harder."Ā
While she didn't think any would fly under the radar, she mentioned the rollout for "Disease," which was first teased with a Spotify playlist that spelled the song's name, which in turn led to a rabbit hole down different websites: "The whole time that that was happening I just was like, 'Do they know now? Do they know now?'"Ā
She mentioned that she loves seeing fans dissect what things mean. She said sometimes, when she's creating, she puts stories into her work and doesn't even notice she's doing it. That's where the fans come in: "Sometimes they're juts so dead-on, and other times they'll find meaning in it that I didn't even know was there."Ā
What advice "Mayhem" would give to "The Fame":Ā
Gaga answered with, "not to be so hard on herself all the time."
She recounted feeling like she had already made it when she released "The Fame," when she would make her own costumes from clothing at vintage shops and perform in New York City: "That was some of the most beautiful times in my life, and then everything that happened after was pretty wild. And, yeah, I can't believe I'm still doing it."Ā
Then, Gaga sat down with ELLE UK to answer some more questions.Ā
How she'd describe the recording process for "Mayhem":
Gaga said the recording process was about the songs, first and foremost: "It was extremely organic, and it was all about the songs. I wrote so many songs and spent a lot of time crafting and honing each one of them in. Over time, the production started to take form, and I started to produce them in more intricate ways."
What exploring "the art of intensity" for "Mayhem" entailed:
As an artist who works in extremes and pushes herself to the limit one way or another, Gaga said she wanted to explore why she works that way: Ā "What I found is that the harder the music was, the more fragile the lyrics became. So thereās something that I experience as a human being that is like vulnerability and toughness at the same time."
What kind of healing power music has:
Other than her fiancĆ© and family, Gaga said nothing makes her happier than music:Ā "It always makes me feel just really grounded and centered and oddly in control of the outcome. Itās a really chaotic process making music, but you have to rely on yourself, and I canāt rely on everyone around me when I make a song. I really have to listen to what my heartās saying."
Given her nearly 20 years in the music industry, Gaga called it a blessing that she still loves writing and producing more than anything else: "The art of fame and my love of performing, all of those things are things that i got to explore along the way, but thereās just nothing like being in a studio by yourself and pressing record. Itās pretty cool."
What lessons fans can take from "Mayhem" that haven't been explored in previous albums:
"Mayhem" is completely about "the art of chaos":Ā "It means if something gets too fast you have to figure out how to reign it in. if something is becoming mundane you have to add velocity."
While she said pop music doesn't have to be super deep to be fun and effective, Gaga confirmed "Mayhem" has a lot of depth to it: "When the lyrics are more honest, then you have to be that honest with the sounds, and there were some moments making this record where I really surprised myself."
She continued, "'Disease,' in a way, is so relentless the whole time that you have to have vulnerability in the lyrics. Otherwise, it will just be, to me, kind of boneheaded and dumb and boring, so you have to create wind when itās raining rocks."

On the special issues she discusses her upcoming seventh studio album 'Mayhem' and her engagement to fiancĆ©Ā Michael Polansky. See the covers below:
FEBRUARY 2025 - US
MARCH 2025 - UK
In herĀ ElleĀ cover-stories, Gaga revealed her upcoming album 'Mayhem''Ā is influenced by "ā90s alternative, electro-grunge, Prince and Bowie melodies, guitar and attitude, funky bass lines, French electronic dance, and analog synths." The album is due to be released on March 7, 2025Ā and features production from Andrew Watt, Cirkut, and Gesaffelstein.
Gaga says the album is "utter chaos" from a genre perspective: "It breaks a lot of rules and has a lot of fun. It's about following your own chaos into whatever cranny of your life it takes you to."Ā Singles "Disease" and "Die With A Smile" with Bruno Mars were released in 2024, the latter becoming the fastest song to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify.
In the interviews, Gaga celebrates other female artists like Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and Charli XCX: "They're amazing. They're strong and vibrant and creative and artistic. I think they're being celebrated because they're wonderful."
Gaga also spoke withĀ ElleĀ about her engagement to Michael Polansky. SheĀ reveals that her near future will include "me and Michael and our kids [ā¦] Sometimes I worry people will say I'm boring these days, but honestly, thank God I'm boring. Thank God! Because I was living on the edge."
Michael reveals he co-wrote seven songs on 'Mayhem' with Gaga and says it was "so much fun to watch her make. She recorded it right down the street from our house, so we could easily walk back and forth from the studio." In her October cover story for Vogue, Gaga first revealed her engagement to Michael.
Gaga even addressed the recent feedback of her latest film "Joker: Folie Ć Deux"
"People just sometimes don't like some things,' she says matter-of-factly. 'Itās that simple. And I think to be an artist, you have to be willing for people to sometimes not like it. And you keep going even if something didnāt connect in the way that you intended. When that makes its way into your life, that can be hard to get control of. Itās part of the mayhem."

The "LG7" teasing continued, as after her Olympics performance, she posted a photo to Instagram Stories telling fans she would play a few seconds of "LG7" outside her hotel.

Hereās a sneak peek from the interview.
Lady Gaga, whoās 38 and engaged to tech entrepreneur Michael Polansky, spoke about the song ā as well as the upcoming album that her fans refer to as LG7 and her booking as a headliner at next yearās Coachella festival ā between video shoots this week at a Santa Monica recording studio. She was wearing an elaborate white gown with a long train and pointy shoulders, and her braided blond hair was tucked beneath a headband for a vaguely āMidsommarā-ish look.
My understanding is that āDie With a Smileā grew out of a late-night phone call from Bruno.
We had been talking about working together, and we were trying to figure out what we were gonna do. He called me and he said, āI have this idea.ā I really wanted to hear what he was doing, so I went over there really late and he played me the start of this idea. He had a couple different ideas, but I said, āThis one is a love song ā I think people would love to hear us do a love song.ā
Is the song connected to whateverās happening on LG7?
Absolutely. āDie With a Smileā is on my record ā itās a huge part of my album. It was like this missing piece. The record is full of my love of music ā so many different genres, so many different styles, so many different dreams. It leaps around genre in a way thatās almost corrupt. And it ends with love. Thatās the answer to all the chaos in my life is that I find peace with love. Every song that I wrote, I just kept getting kind of swept away in these different dreams I was having about the past ā almost like a recollection of all these bad decisions that I made in my life. But it ends in this very happy place.
Youāve returned to ballads regularly throughout your career.
Iām thinking of one record I didnāt put on my [upcoming] album thatās actuallyā¦ I might put it out so I donāt want to share the name. You almost got me [laughs]. Itās actually very fragile and not big ā one of the first times Iāve ever done that. But I like big ballads. You can sing along about love in a big way. I love emotional, dramatic music, whether itās James Taylor and Carole King or itās David Lee Roth.
Youāre headlining Coachella in April, which will be your second time there after performing in 2017. When the announcement came out, you said, āIāve had a vision Iāve never been able to fully realize at Coachellaā and that youāve ābeen wanting to go back and to do it right.ā Can you elaborate?
Well, for reasons totally outside of my control, there was a cancellation ā
BeyoncƩ pulled out in 2017 because she was pregnant, and you stepped in.
I really wanted to be there for music fans, and at the time there was all this excitement to be able to film bits of āA Star Is Bornā at Coachella. But I only had two weeks [to prepare for the show]. And so to design a stage, to have it made, all of those things ā I didnāt have the time to totally do what I really wanted to do. I love music. I love performing. I love music fans. And I was so excited to film pieces of our movie there. So I did it, and I loved it. But you know when you have a vision in your mind of how you want to do something? Itās time to make it happen.
Thereās something slightly manic to my ears about āHarlequin.ā
āManicā is the right word. Thereās surf-punk influence on the album. Thereās doom-jazz influence on the album. Thereās New Orleans influence on the album. It was through the lens of a woman that wants to be whoever she wants whenever she feels like it ā a woman that will light the stage on fire if she feels like it. In a way, it was kind of defiant: When Iāve sung jazz for most of my career, I think that some people really loved it and other people never understood why I deviated to other genres. The beauty of why I make records is I love learning about music. I loved working with Tony. I loved making āHarlequin.ā I loved collaborating with all the DJs and Gesaffelstein on my new album. I loved learning about industrial music and about all the different crevices of electronic music, and then I loved working with Bruno. One of the things Iāve probably been judged for in my career was not sticking to one thing. But not sticking to one thing is my life force.

Across several segments, Gaga speaks about her personal relationship with Elton and the influence he's had on her career. "Elton's talent is really unparalleled," Gaga says in the opening. "There will never be another."
Gaga discusses her performance of "Speechless" and "Your Song" with Elton at the 2010 GRAMMYs, saying the latter is her favorite Elton song of all time. "That moment, playing with him meant so much to me." She goes on to say that the performance marked the moment she knew the two would become friends.
Gaga, one of Elton's closest friends and Godmother to his children, also speaks about her relationship with his family. "I try to be there in moments throughout their lives to let them know they always have me. They, too, call me 'Gaga-mother,' and it's very, very cuteāwith the accents, especially," she says.
Gaga further says Elton's inspired her as a singer and a songwriter, as well as "generations and generations of artists to make music." She says his guidance in the music industry made it feel like someone was looking out for her. "He always wanted me to be okay, and I think that's really rare in a business where very often you're just encouraged to succeed and outdo yourself. Elton wanted me to be happy."
The special, hosted by Good Morning America's Robin Roberts and featuring appearances from other artists including Brandi Carlile and Charlie Puth, is now available to stream exclusively on Hulu.

Read some quotes from the interview below.
Meeting Gaga:
Cirkut was introduced to Gaga through "Die With a Smile" co-writer and co-producerĀ Andrew Watt, who recommended they collaborate on the project. "So, I met Gaga for the first time in the studio, and it was amazing. I was really excited to work with her, we were off to the races as soon as we met."
After being a fan for years, Cirkut said he was drawn to working with Gaga because, "She is just a legendary artist."
"Selfishly, I did want to see what I could accomplish with her. Just the thought of wondering what a Gaga record would sound like if I produced it was really exciting from the get-go."
Early stages of "Disease":
Gaga was "instrumental" in early discussions about where they wanted to go with the sound. Cirkut said, "We all wanted to make something that still felt like it was decidedly Gaga, but always asking the question of, 'What does that sound like today?' "
These ideas resulted in the "very aggressive" lead single from Gaga's upcoming seventh studio album, melding heavy guitars with a heavy synth-dance sound.Ā
" 'Disease' [is] a daring record to me. Itās very aggressive. I wouldnāt say itās a safe, 'nice' song to ease you into things. ... Itās a very in-your-face kind of record," he said.Ā
"I wanted to make sure that we brought the essence of Gaga into this song and all of the things that are so great about her ā the drama, the theatrics, that in-your-face sound ā but still putting a fresh spin on it."
In the studio:Ā
Cirkut described the "synergy" between him and Gaga when recording the song:
"In the beginning, it is kind of a trial run [with a new collaborator]. It felt a little bit like she was feeling me out, trying to figure out where I was coming from when it came to production. But then there was kind of a breakthrough moment ā I had been working through something over my headphones, and when I played it out loud, she was just like, 'Oh my God, Cirkut, thatās crazy.' And as soon as that happened it was like, 'Great, I got through to her.' "
Cirkut teased the possibility that there's more to come of their collaboration: "['Disease'] was just one song in a collection that we worked on together, but fairly early in the process, we all loved it and knew that it would be some kind of cornerstone of this body of work."Ā
Why Gaga stands out among her contemporaries:Ā
Cirkut said Gaga's passion and interest in the sonics of her music separates her from the pack.Ā
"She would say, 'Maybe try a different drum here,' or she would hop on the synths and start playing things. Sheās a musician and a visionary, and she knew all about the attack, decay, sustain and release settings on a synth. She is all about the details, which definitely sets her apart from a lot of artists."
"Also, the passion that she puts into her work is amazing. She really lives and breathes and eats and sweats and bleeds this music."

In the interview, Gaga talks about the new guitar version of LG7 lead single "Disease": "After I spent some time on the production for The Antidote Liveāwhich was built around me at the pianoāI started thinking about how I may go even deeper," she says. "I wondered if we took some of the electric guitar energy thatās on the pop version and stripped it backāwould I find another level to the song? And I did."
Gaga also revealed new details about LG7, which is due out in February 2025: "The album is chaotic from a genre perspective. [ā¦]Ā In that way, this album is a celebration of a lot of the music that made me who I am, because when I returned to a darker pop style of pop, all my early Ā experiences with music came out. [...] The album is not extremely serious in that its very fun and meant to be Ā enjoyed at a party, in a club, or at home having personal fun time to be free of your worries at home or walking through life."
