Lady Gaga Unleashes ‘The Beast’ With Her New Album, ‘Mayhem’

Published March 7, 2025

Lady Gaga has been releasing her new album, Mayhem, starting in October with the debut single titled “Disease.” This followed her promotional activities for Joker: Folie À Deux. Since then, she has also launched another single called “Abracadabra” and shared that her upcoming collaboration with Bruno Mars, “Die With A Smile,” will be featured on Mayhem.

Among the tracks on the album, one that stands out is the intense song “The Beast.” While many of Gaga’s tracks are known for their upbeat dance energy, “The Beast” takes a different approach with a slower tempo. It's a passionate plea to a lover, with lyrics urging them to embrace their inner desires: “Turn on the music / Turn off the lights / I wanna feel the beast inside / I know you’re hungry, ready to bite / I wanna watch you turn tonight / I wanna feel the beast inside.”

In addition to her music release, Gaga is preparing for her appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend. In a promotional sketch for the show, she demonstrated her comedic side by performing original lines at the piano, inspired by Randy Newman. With clever wit, her observations humorously critiqued the SNL cast. Fans can look forward to seeing Lady Gaga’s talents this Saturday, March 8, and can enjoy her new single “The Beast” as well.

Mayhem is now available through Interscope Records.
