MAYHEM

Mayhem is the sixth solo studio album by American singer and songwriter Lady Gaga and her eighth overall. It was released on March 7, 2025, through Streamline and Interscope Records. Recording took place at Rick Rubin's Shangri-La studio in Malibu. Gaga collaborated with producers such as Andrew Watt, Cirkut, and Gesaffelstein, resulting in an album that has a "chaotic blur of genres", mainly synth-pop, with industrial dance influences, and elements of electro, disco, funk, industrial pop, rock and pop rock. Thematically, it explores love, chaos, fame, identity, and desire, using metaphors of transformation, duality, and excess. The accompanying visuals are characterized by a dark, avant-garde aesthetic with gothic and cyberpunk influences. The album was preceded by two singles: the lead single "Disease", released on October 25, 2024, and the Grammy-winning track "Abracadabra", released on February 3, 2025, with the latter reaching number five on the Billboard Global 200. Mayhem also features the Grammy-winning global number-one duet with Bruno Mars, "Die with a Smile", as well as "The Dead Dance" on its digital reissue.
