Pop icon Lady Gaga is reportedly set to pay homage to her musical roots with the release of her highly anticipated new track, “Disease.” According to a Page Six report, a music insider revealed that the upcoming single represents a “return to form” for the star, as she revives the dark, dance-pop sound reminiscent of her earlier work, particularly her critically acclaimed Born This Way album from 2011.
The insider elaborated, saying the new song is “sonically reminiscent” of Born This Way, which produced some of Gaga’s most iconic hits, such as “The Edge of Glory,” “Marry the Night,” and “Bloody Mary.” The new track is expected to evoke similar high-energy, synth-driven beats while capturing the intensity and theatricality that defined much of her earlier catalog.
Adding to the excitement, the music video for “Disease” is said to be a visual throwback to Gaga’s legendary videos, with echoes of her infamous “Bad Romance” and “Judas” eras. The insider also described the video as “meticulously choreographed,” suggesting that fans can expect an elaborate and highly stylized performance in line with Gaga’s signature flair.
Lady Gaga, now 38, took to Instagram on Tuesday, October 22nd, and stirred a frenzy among her loyal fanbase by teasing the music video. The post ignited speculation and enthusiasm, with fans eagerly awaiting her full return to the genre that made her a global superstar.
It was previously reported by US Sun that Gaga has teamed up with renowned choreographer Parris Goebel for the project. Goebel, an Emmy Award-winning talent, is known for her work with major artists, including choreographing Rihanna’s celebrated 2023 Super Bowl halftime show, as well as Justin Bieber’s iconic music videos for “What Do You Mean?” and “Sorry.” Goebel’s involvement in Gaga’s new project hints at a visually dynamic and performance-heavy release.
Gaga’s return to dance-pop comes after a detour into jazz with two albums, Love for Sale and Harlequin, the latter of which was released as a companion to her role in Joker: Folie à Deux. While the film did not perform well at the box office, “Disease” marks a return to the pop genre that defined her career, signaling that Gaga is ready to reclaim her place at the forefront of the music industry. Fans are eagerly awaiting the release, confident that Gaga’s return to her dance-pop roots will be nothing short of spectacular.
