When will Lady Gaga release her new album? From release date to tracklist, here's everything you need to know about LG7.
Rumors of LG7 began circulating in November 2023 when “Bad Romance” singer Lady Gaga was photographed leaving a restaurant with Black Eyed Peas singer Will.i.am, the pair carrying large folders under their arms and smelling new music.
Gaga then confirmed the rumors of new music with a series of new Instagram posts showing her playing the piano with the caption “Tick tok tick tok.”
And she dropped a major hint at the film's Los Angeles premiere in May, at the Gaga Chromatica Ball, and after her big performance at the Olympic Games opening ceremony, she gave her French fans a sneak peek at the material from her upcoming album.
Although she has released several collaborations and anniversary albums in recent years, Gaga hasn't released a new album since 2020's Chromatica, and this recent hiatus has left fans eager for new music.

Will Lady Gaga release new music?
Yes, LG7 is coming. At the end of the Gaga Chromatica Ball movie premiere in Los Angeles, Lady Gaga confirmed that her seventh studio album would be released as the movie ended and a new song played with the lyrics, “LG7. Gaga is back.”
Lady Gaga teased new music earlier this year by sharing photos of her working in the studio. In several Instagram posts, the “Born This Way” singer can be seen playing the piano. She captioned one of the posts, “Tick tok tick tok.”
This comes after rumors of new music surfaced in November 2023. Fans were convinced that Gaga was working on new music after she was spotted leaving a restaurant with singer and music producer Will.i.am. Carrying a large folder. The two worked on her ARTPOP song “Fashion!” back in 2013, so it's likely Will.i.am will be working with her on this upcoming album as well.
Not only is Will.i.am the founder of the Black Eyed Peas, he is also a songwriter and producer who has worked with numerous artists, including Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, and Rihanna.
It's great to see the star return to music after recently concentrating on acting: after her successful role in A Star Is Born, Gaga appeared in American Horror Story and is currently playing Harley Quinn in Todd Phillips' Joker sequel.

When is Lady Gaga's new album coming out?
Gaga has yet to announce a release date for LG7, but the release seems imminent after she previewed the music for fans in Paris.
Standing on the sunroof of her car, Gaga performed some of her songs for fans, and judging by the performance, LG7 looks like it's going to be a rock album.
What is the track listing for LG7?
It's unclear what will be on the tracklist for Lady Gaga's new album, but when she announced her return, she teased a new song, which she performed at the Gaga Chromatica Ball movie premiere with the lyrics “Dance in the Shadows of the Night.”
