Mayhem is a deliberate return to Lady Gaga's dark electro-pop roots, and she co-wrote every track, working closely with producers Andrew Watt, Cirkut, and Gesaffelstein. The standout Die with a Smile is a duet with Bruno Mars, who also co-produced, and Gaga's writing runs across the whole album.
Mayhem is Lady Gaga's seventh studio album, released March 7, 2025 on Interscope Records. A maximalist industrial pop and rock record drawing on influences from Nine Inch Nails to Madonna, Mayhem marks Gaga's most aggressive sonic statement since Born This Way. Pre-album singles 'Disease' and 'Abracadabra' signaled a departure from the polished pop of Chromatica toward a darker, guitar-driven sound. Gaga co-wrote every track on the album with producers including BURNS, BloodPop, and Andrew Wyatt, continuing the pattern of near-complete lyrical authorship she has maintained since The Fame. The album debuted at number one in multiple markets and received strong critical reception for its fearless eclecticism.
