Lady Gaga debuted her new single “Disease” — an electro-pop song about curing a lover’s “tortured” disease — on Thursday night. The upbeat track was written by Michael Polansky, Gaga, Andrew Watt and Cirkut, with the latter three also credited as producers.

“Disease” is the first single from Gaga’s seventh studio album, which she first teased back in July, and confirmed in September ahead of the premiere of “Joker :Folie et Deux.” Her new album is due spring of 2025, according to a press release.

I could play the doctor / I can cure your disease,” Gaga sings in “Disease.” “If you were a sinner / I could make you believe / Lay you don’t like 1, 2, 3 / Eyes roll back in ecstasy / I can smell your sickness / I can cure ya / Cure your disease.”

In an interview with Vogue, Gaga said of her new album, “I feel like this new album, in a lot of ways, is about that time but from a place of happiness instead of misery.”

Gaga is fresh off starring in “Joker: Folie à Deux,” which was critically panned and underperformed at the box office. She released a surprise companion album for “Joker” dubbed “Harlequin,” and inspired by her character in the film. Consisting of nearly all classic American Songbook favorites like “Get Happy,” “That’s Life” and “That’s Entertainment,” with the exception of a pair of originals, “Harlequin” debuted at No. 20 on the overall Billboard 200.

Her single with Bruno Mars, “Die With a Smile,” also continues to dominate the Billboard Global 200 singles chart as one of the longest-running No. 1s on the list this year so far.

Gaga’s last full-length effort was 2020’s “Chromatica,” which became her sixth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 upon its release. The set was led by the singles “Stupid Love” and “Rain on Me” with Ariana Grande. Gaga supported the release with a tour that was eventually released as a film on Max. Her seventh album was teased at the end of the film, with a title card hinting at its incoming release.
