Mayhem is Lady Gaga's eighth studio album, released on March 7, 2025. The record marks a return to her dance-pop and electronic roots, following the more jazz and acoustic sound of her previous works.
The album was primarily produced by Andrew Watt and Cirkut, with contributions from Gesaffelstein. Gaga described the creative process as cathartic, exploring themes of chaos, freedom, and personal reinvention.
Mayhem debuted at number one in multiple countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. Critics praised its sonic cohesion and the artist's renewed energy, solidifying her status as a pop icon.
