Lady Gaga captivates us with her new single “Abracadabra”

Music news

The American popstar unveiled its new title “Abracadabra” during the Grammy Awards 2025, this February 3. Accompanied by a grandiose clip, this frantic song will be found on his next album “Mayhem”, scheduled for March 7.

The spell is thrown. Lady Gaga has just unveiled a new phenomenal song entitled “Abracadabra”. This is the third extract from his seventh studio album “Mayhem”, after “Disease” and “Die with a smile” in duet with Bruno Mars. The song was broadcast in preview during an advertising break from the Grammy Awards ceremony, this February 3, during which the star won the prize for best duo/pop group with Bruno March.

Thanks to this title, Lady Gaga returns to the pop dark of her 2000s discography. With a bewitching rhythm and a heady refrain, “Abracadabra” claims to have a success comparable to that of “Poker Face” or “Bad Romance”. Especially since the grandiose clip of the song already harvests almost 3 million views in less than 10 hours. In this video, the Mother Monster is accompanied by 50 dancers on a spectacular choreography which required weeks of rehearsals.

A hymn to persistence

In the clip, the lady in red is that “who tests you, your internal monologue“said Lady Gaga in an interview with Shethis February 3. Before continuing: “The song talks about dealing with the challenges of life and the challenges of the night and finding magic in all of this.“”

Unlike “Disease” which addressed the theme of inner torture, “Abracadabra” rather evokes resilience, perseverance. A perseverance that is illustrated on the dancefloor in the clip. “”This dance battle is waged by the bright and dark sides of me“Explained the singer.

The song did not fail to subjugate fans of Lady Gaga, the Little Monsters. “”I have never been so excited to see an artist return to her roots. It's like an old Gaga song but perfected at a new level“, Exclaims one of them on Youtube.”It may be the best video of his entire career“Said another.

Her next album quite dark

With this single, Lady Gaga once again strengthens the unbearable wait for her next studio album “Mayhem”, scheduled for March 7. “”I created an album that I am really very proud to offer to my fans“Said Mother Monster at the microphone of Entertainment Tonight, during the 67th Grammy Awards ceremony.

This opus promises to be dark, to believe its title that one could translate by “chaos” or “disorder”. “”At first, it was difficult to title the album 'Mayhem' because I especially do not want this feeling to be realconceded the singer to She. I am also a person full of hope. (…) But I understood that it is all the fractures of who we are and chaos in the world that ultimately teach us the power of joy, dance, crying and laughter.“”

To discover the surprises that Lady Gaga has in store for us, see you next month.
