"Disease" is a song by American singer-songwriter Lady Gaga. It was released on October 25, 2024, through Interscope Records, as the lead single from her upcoming eighth studio album.

Release

Lady Gaga first spoke of new music while celebrating for her 38th birthday on March 28, 2024, saying she was "writing some of [her] best music in as long as [she] can remember" and posted another update from a recording studio in July 2024.[4] Following the release of "Die with a Smile", a collaboration with American singer Bruno Mars, on August 16, the premiere of her film Joker: Folie à Deux with Joaquin Phoenix, and just four weeks after releasing the film's companion album, Harlequin, she announced the lead single for her upcoming eighth studio album to be released in October.[5][6]

On October 18, 2024, streaming platforms updated Gaga's discography with seven different tracks from seven albums to spell out the word "disease", hinting at an upcoming project.[7] Three days later, the release of the single was confirmed by her label through a pre-save website.[8] The cryptic website depicted a glitch of the phrase "I could play the doctor" against a black screen.[9] Alongside the announcement, Gaga also revealed lyrics of the song as well as the official logo.[10] Gaga shared a promotional poster along with global release dates and the exact time on her Twitter that same day.[11]

Composition

"Disease" is three minutes and 49 seconds long.[12] It is an upbeat electropop,[1] dark pop,[13] synth-pop,[2] and EDM song,[3] with gothic, industrial rock,[14] pop, rock, dance, and rage influences.[15] It features EDM and techno-heavy beats, grungy guitars and ominous layered harmonies.[16] Critics found "Disease" thematically similar to Gaga's singles "Bad Romance" (2009) and "The Cure" (2017)".[a]
