Lady Gaga is set to release her seventh studio album in February 2025

The album is known as LG7

The lead single for LG7, "Disease," was released in October

Lady Gaga's seventh album is on the way!

In a cover story interview with Vogue, the "Bad Romance" singer, 38, initially announced that she'd be releasing what's known as LG7 in February 2025. At the time, she revealed her fiancé Michael Polansky encouraged her to return to pop music.

“Michael is the person who told me to make a new pop record. He was like, ‘Babe. I love you. You need to make pop music,’” Gaga told Vogue.

After a ton of buzz, Gaga dropped the lead single for LG7, "Disease," on Oct. 25.

Prior to the release of LG7, Gaga dropped Harlequin, the companion album to Joker: Folie à Deux —which she dubbed "LG6.5" — on Sept. 27.

She worked on Harlequin with Polansky, 41, who served as a co-executive producer on the album with Gaga. Both are credited as co-writers on four tracks: "Good Morning," "Get Happy," "Oh, When the Saints" and "If My Friends Could See Me Now."

From her new sound to the possibility of a tour, here's everything to know about Gaga's album.

Gaga's forthcoming album does not yet have an official title, but it's been referred to by the pop star and her fans as LG7.

In an interview with Vogue on Wednesday, Nov. 20, Gaga revealed that LG7 will be a dark-pop record. “The album is chaotic from a genre perspective — it is genre-bending, and I think in that way is a deeply personal look into my mind as a producer and the way I think about music,” she told the publication.

She said LG7 is "a celebration of a lot of the music that made me who I am," explaining, "When I returned to a darker pop style of pop, all my early experiences with music came out."

Gaga also noted the record features personal storytelling throughout — but through "fantasies and escapes."

"The only place reality is really present is that these fantasies are coming from a real person, trying to soothe their inner chaos," Gaga told Vogue. "That’s where I found the reason for why I make this music. Each song is an exercise in personal chaos—a way to deal with myself.”

She did add the caveat that LG7 is "not extremely serious" and is "very fun and meant to be enjoyed at a party, in a club, or at home having personal fun time — to be free of your worries at home or walking through life."

In an interview with Access Hollywood‘s Scott Evans in May, per fan-captured footage, she also noted that she loves "to break genre" and "explore music."

Per Rolling Stone, Gaga also revealed in May that 2022's Chromatica Ball Tour really impacted her artistic process for the new LP.

“Something I’m definitely exploring right now is sort of the art of intensity and I think that the art of intensity actually began during this tour,” she said. “But I’m not done with it yet.”

On Oct. 25, Gaga released the lead single of LG7, “Disease.”

The song features the lyrics: “I could play the doctor, I can cure your disease" and showcases the singer battling her inner demons. Four days later, she dropped the official music video, which featured the actress/musician sporting black hair and being chased by a car.

Gaga has since released two alternate versions of the track —a piano-led acoustic rendition and an electric guitar version.

“Since the chorus of ‘Disease’ was written at the piano, that version was in some parts really delicate and almost somber. So, something I always try to do when I’m singing a song again is to go deeper, and I wondered if we took some of the electric guitar energy that’s on the pop version and stripped it back—would I find another level to the song? And I did," she told Vogue on Wednesday, Nov. 20.

In a September cover story interview with Vogue, Gaga revealed that LG7 is set to be released in February 2025, though the exact release date has not yet been announced.

The pop star hinted at LG7 toward the end of her Chromatica Ball film, which premiered in May 2024, where a clip of one of her new tracks played as "LG7. Gaga returns" flashed on-screen.

While a tour has not yet been announced, Gaga is set to headline Coachella in 2025. Between the album release in February and a headlining festival slot, a tour announcement could be on the way.
