Lady Gaga wants to cure your 'disease'. The pop superstar released a music video for her latest single on Tuesday (October 29).
“I think a lot about the relationship I have with my own inner demons. It's never been easy for me to deal with how I get swept up in chaos and turmoil. Makes me feel claustrophobic,” she wrote on Instagram after the release of the music video for the dark dance-pop track. “Disease is about facing that fear, about facing myself and my inner darkness and realizing that sometimes I can't win or escape the parts of me that scare me. That I can try to run away from them, but they're still a part of me, and I can run and run, but eventually I'll meet that part of me again, if only for a moment.”
He continued, “Dancing, transforming, running, cleaning. Again and again, back to myself. This integration is ultimately beautiful to me because it is mine and I have learned to handle it. I am the conductor of my own accord. I am every actor in the plays that are my art and my life. As scary as the question is, the answers are within me. Essentially, integral parts of what makes me me. I save myself by continuing. I am all myself, I am strong and I am ready for the challenge. Happy Halloween.”
“Disease” marks the first taste of the 13-time Grammy winner's highly anticipated seventh album. In late September, Gaga fell Harlequina companion album that coincided with Joker: Folie à Deux; the project debuted at No. 20 on the Billboard 200 and marked her third No. 1 on Bulletin board jazz charts. The LG7 is expected to arrive in February.
In addition to the “Disease” music video, Gaga told fans the drop was a “double feature” on social media, as she also released “Die With a Smile (Live in Las Vegas)” at the exact same time. The Bruno Mars collaboration spent eight weeks atop both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. American charts. “If the world was ending, I'd like to be by your side/ If the party was ending and our time on Earth was ending,” Ares and Gaga sing on the 1970s-inspired track. “I'd like to hold you for a while and to die with a smile.”
