Lady Gaga announced that she will be dropping the first single from her forthcoming seventh studio album next month. Gaga, who arrived in Venice over the weekend ahead of the premiere of “Joker: Folie et Deux,” teased the news in a new Instagram post. She posted a photo of her Venice schedule for the week. For October, Gaga marked “XX October: LG7 first single,” which likely means the album is due late this year or early 2025. The new song follows her recent surprise single with Bruno Mars, “Die With a Smile.”
