Mayhem is a studio album by American singer Lady Gaga. It was released on March 7, 2025,[6] through Streamline and Interscope Records.[7] During the creation of the album, Gaga collaborated with producers such as Andrew Watt, Cirkut and Gesaffelstein, resulting in an album that has a "chaotic blur of genres", ranging from synth-pop, disco, industrial pop, rock, and dance-pop.[3]

The album was recorded at Rick Rubin's studio Shangri-La, in Malibu, California. The album was preceded by the release of two singles. Its lead single, "Disease", was released on October 25, 2024. "Abracadabra" followed as the second single on February 3, 2025, peaking in the top 5 on the Billboard Global 200 and the top 20 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Mayhem also includes the Bruno Mars collaboration "Die with a Smile" which won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards.

Mayhem received critical praise with reviewers deeming it a strong return to form to Gaga's pop roots, specifically The Fame (2008).[8][9] Reviewers highlighted the production, stylistic diversity, album cohesion and noted musical inspirations from pop artists such as David Bowie, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince, Yazoo and Blondie, though some chastised the difference between the tone of the singles and the overall album, calling it a "bait and switch."[10][11][2][12]
