Buckle up, Little Monsters. More Lady Gaga music is on the way!

In an interview with Los Angeles Timespublished on Thursday, Dec. 19, the A Star Is Born actress teased her upcoming album, which fans have been calling LG7 — and revealed that her Bruno Mars duet "Die With A Smile" has made the tracklist.

Gaga, 38, called the collab "a huge part" of her forthcoming record, and said it "was like this missing piece" of the puzzle.

"Die With a Smile," which came out in August, peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 upon its release, and was recently nominated for song of the year and best pop/duo group performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

The "Disease" singer also said the upcoming album highlights her love of music, including "so many different genres, so many different styles, so many different dreams."

"It leaps around genre in a way that's almost corrupt. And it ends with love. That's the answer to all the chaos in my life is that I find peace with love," she continued.

"Every song that I wrote, I just kept getting kind of swept away in these different dreams I was having about the past — almost like a recollection of all these bad decisions that I made in my life."

Despite the journey listeners may have, Gaga confirmed that the album "ends in this very happy place."

She previously told Vogue in Novemberthat the upcoming album was "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 said.

The Grammy winner added that her new music would be "a celebration of a lot of the music that made me who I am."

"When I returned to a darker pop style of pop, all my early experiences with music came out," she added.
