Lady Gaga is giving fans a double feature including the music video for her LG7 lead single “Disease!”
On Tuesday (October 29), the hitmaker released the visual for Arashi’s single, which was released last week. Like this song, this marks a return to the darker, weirder aesthetic that fans know and love.
She paired this video with a live performance of the Bruno Mars duet “Die With a Smile.”

Gaga took to Instagram to reflect on the meaning of “Disease” and its accompanying video.
“I think a lot about my relationship with my own inner demons. For me, it has never been easy to face how I am seduced by chaos and chaos. It makes me feel claustrophobic. It makes me feel sick,” she wrote.
She went on to explain: “Illness is about facing that fear, facing yourself and your inner darkness, and understanding that sometimes you can’t overcome or escape the part of you that’s afraid. That even if I try to run away from them, they are still a part of me, and that no matter how much I run or run, I will eventually meet that part of myself again, even if only for a moment.
“Dancing, morphing, running, purging. Again and again, coming back to myself. This integration is ultimately beautiful for me, because it’s mine and I’ve learned to deal with it.” That’s why I am the conductor of my own symphony. I am all the actors in the theater that is my art and my life. No matter how scary the questions, the answers are within me. An essential and inseparable part. I can save myself by continuing. I’m who I am, I’m strong, and I’m going to try. Happy Halloween.”
“Disease” follows her Joker: Folie a Deux standalone album “Harlequin.” Have you heard it yet?
