AceShowbiz - Lady Gaga's next musical chapter is almost upon us. The pop icon has officially revealed that "Disease" will be the first single from her untitled seventh studio album, set to drop on Friday, October 25.
Gaga has been dropping cryptic clues about the single for weeks. Little Monsters have been on a scavenger hunt, piecing together the lyrics through a series of posts and playlists. The phrase "I could play the doctor" has been a recurring theme, hinting at the single's medical metaphor.
The final page of Gaga's website teases the full lyrics, "I could play the doctor / I can cure your disease / If you were a sinner / I could make you believe / Lay you down like 1, 2, 3 / Eyes roll back in ecstasy / I can smell your sickness / I can cure ya / Cure your disease."
Gaga's upcoming album marks a departure from her 2020 "Chromatica" release, which explored themes of mental health and darkness. This new project, according to Gaga, is about the same period but from a place of happiness rather than misery.
Recorded at Rick Rubin's Shangri-La studio in Malibu, the album is a return to Gaga's pop roots, inspired by her fiancé Michael Polansky. Polansky encouraged Gaga to embrace the joy of pop music and keep the fire alive that she had rekindled on her Chromatica Ball tour.
Gaga's previous singles, such as "G.U.Y." and "Americano," have all contributed to the acrostic clue that spells out "Disease" in her Spotify playlist. Fans have also been able to access various lyrics and visual effects through Gaga's website and other URLs.
The "Disease" release is just the beginning of Gaga's upcoming era. Her untitled album is scheduled to arrive in February, and she has hinted that she may break away from the traditional era structure, embracing multiple eras simultaneously.
