Read some quotes from the interview below.
Meeting Gaga:
Cirkut was introduced to Gaga through "Die With a Smile" co-writer and co-producer 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.
" 'Disease' [is] a daring record to me. It’s very aggressive. I wouldn’t say it’s a safe, 'nice' song to ease you into things. ... It’s a very in-your-face kind of record," he said.
"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 — the drama, the theatrics, that in-your-face sound — but still putting a fresh spin on it."
In the studio:
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 — I had been working through something over my headphones, and when I played it out loud, she was just like, 'Oh my God, Cirkut, that’s 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."
Why Gaga stands out among her contemporaries:
Cirkut said Gaga's passion and interest in the sonics of her music separates her from the pack.
"She would say, 'Maybe try a different drum here,' or she would hop on the synths and start playing things. She’s 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 Live—which was built around me at the piano—I started thinking about how I may go even deeper," she says. "I wondered if we took some of the electric guitar energy that’s on the pop version and stripped it back—would 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. […] 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 experiences with music came out. [...] The album is not extremely serious in that its very fun and meant to be 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."

Watch "God Bless America" below:
And "The Edge of Glory":
After "God Bless America," she expressed her support for Harris in a speech before introducing Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff:
"For more than half of this country's life, women didn't have a voice. Yet, we raised children, we held our families together, we supported men as they made the decisions. But tomorrow, women will be a part of making this decision. Today, I am holding in my heart all the tough, tenacious women who made me who I am. I cast my vote for someone who will be President for all, for all Americans."
The Nov. 4 rally is Harris' last one before Election Day, on Nov. 5, 2024. Gaga joined other public figures, such has Oprah Winfrey, Ricky Martin and Jazmine Sullivan on the steps of the Art Museum of Philadelphia to rally support.
Gaga endorsed Harris and her running mate Tim Walz earlier this week, saying, "It's time to get ready to vote," in a video posted to Instagram:
Gaga supported current-President Joe Biden since his run for office. She spoke at a Biden-Harris rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the night before the 2020 election, and she performed the national anthem at Biden's inauguration.
In 2023, Biden appointed Gaga as the co-chair of the Committee on the Arts the Humanities, a board that advises the White House on matters of cultural policy.

Less than an hour before the video's premiere, Gaga posted a message to her Instagram story:
"Disease is about facing that fear, facing myself and my inner darkness, and realizing that sometimes I can't win or escape the parts of myself that scare me. That I can try and run from them but they are still part of me and I can run and run but eventually I'll meet that part of myself again, even if only for a moment.
Gaga announced the music video earlier in the day, alongside news that a live performance of her Bruno Mars' duet "Die With a Smile" in Las Vegas would premiere at the same time.
