Discussing her inspiration for the album, Gaga told InStyle, "I grew up in New York City and I also was a student of Paris Is Burning when I was really, really young. And I was always inspired by the tremendous amount of grace, freedom, expression, and joy of ballroom culture."
She released her third song from Mayhem, "Abracadabra", via a brilliantly choreographed music video during a GRAMMYs commercial break on February 2, 2025.
The costumes are outlandish, and the dance itself has gone viral. Most importantly, Gaga looks and sounds like she did when she was the hottest star in the world.
On February 18th, Gaga set a new record as the female artist with the most monthly listeners in the history of Spotify, with over 123.7 million.

A press release from Universal Music Canada states that “Disease” (Gaga's second single from Mayhem) was lauded by Vogue as "one of the best videos of the year," while W celebrated its “cinematic, almost theater-like experience.”
“The album started as me facing my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved,” said Gaga.

“Die With a Smile”, Gaga’s chart-topping collaboration with Bruno Mars, spent five (non-consecutive) weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was Gaga's sixth number one song on the Billboard Hot 100 and Mars' ninth.

On October 28th, 2009, Comedy Central aired a South Park episode with character Eric Cartman singing a politically incorrect version of "Poker Face" involving sea mammals (of course they did).
A hilarious version, true to the original lyrics (except for profanity), made its way onto the internet. Watch below.
