After a break from music to focus on acting, with major roles in House of Gucci and the Joker sequel, Folie à Deux, Gaga has returned with a new song, “Disease.”
The single brings back our iconic Mother Monster with dark, electrifying beats and a spooky, seductive video release just in time for Halloween.
Disease, Lady Gaga’s Amazing -And Spooky-Comeback
In “Disease,” Gaga dives deep into her own inner struggles, exploring themes of chaos and self-acceptance. She shared that the song is about facing the darker parts of herself, saying, “I think a lot about my relationship with my own inner demons… sometimes I can’t escape the parts of myself that scare me.”
Gaga’s fiancé, Michael Polansky, helped bring “Disease” to life, co-writing the track alongside producers Cirkut and Watt.
The music video, directed by Tanu Muino, follows Gaga as she dances and confronts these inner shadows in a sequence that’s both intense and mesmerizing.
Read Gaga’s amazing letter:
“I think a lot about the relationship I have with my own inner demons. It’s never been easy for me to face how I get seduced by chaos and turmoil. It makes me feel claustrophobic.
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. Dancing, morphing, running, purging. Again and again, back with myself. This integration is ultimately beautiful to me because it’s mine and I’ve learned to handle it. I am the conductor of my own symphony. I am every actor in the plays that are my art and my life. No matter how scary the question, the answers are inside of me. Essential, inextricable parts of what makes me me. I save myself by keeping going. I am the whole me, I am strong, and I am up for the challenge. Happy Halloween. “
