Lady Gaga Unveils New Single at the Grammys

During the Grammys ceremony on Sunday night, Lady Gaga made a splash by debuting her new single, “Abracadabra,” not in a traditional performance slot, but rather during a commercial break. This strategic move allowed her to officially premiere the track from her upcoming album, “Mayhem.”

Teased Release and Upcoming Album

The mid-show reveal of both the song and its music video had been hinted at earlier, although the title remained under wraps until now. Gaga had previously announced that her album “Mayhem” is set to release on March 7.

Immediate Online Availability

Following its broadcast debut, the song wasn’t immediately available online. However, Gaga quickly took to her social media to inform fans that both the track and the music video would be accessible within minutes.

Superfans Not Surprised

For some of Gaga’s dedicated superfans, the new song title was no shocker. In the announcement video for “Mayhem,” the word “Abracadabra” subtly appeared in the background, hinting at its significance.

Live Performance Highlights

Gaga’s decision to debut a song during the commercial break didn’t mean she skipped a live performance. Earlier in the show, she and her duet partner Bruno Mars took the stage at Crypto.com Arena to perform “California Dreamin’,” a tribute to the spirit of Los Angeles in light of the tragic wildfires that occurred in January.

Seventh Studio Album

“Mayhem,” previously referred to as “LG7,” marks Gaga’s seventh studio album. This count excludes last year’s “Joker” spinoff record, “Harlequin,” which featured jazz and standards covers and was dubbed album 6.5 by the artist.

Previous Singles and Collaborations

Last December, Gaga released the first single from the album, “Disease,” followed by the collaboration with Mars, “Die With a Smile,” which is also expected to be included in “Mayhem.”

Artistic Reflection

In a press announcement last week, Gaga shared, “The album started as me facing my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved.” She elaborated that it symbolizes her journey of “reassembling a shattered mirror: even if you can’t put the pieces back together perfectly, you can create something beautiful and whole in its own new way.”

Active Engagement in the Industry

Gaga has been notably active this past week. Before the Grammys, she participated in FireAid, where she premiered another new song specifically crafted for that event, distinct from her upcoming album.
