Release

edit

The singer 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.[1] Following the release of "Die with a Smile", a collaboration with American singer Bruno Mars, on August 16, and the premiere of her film Joker: Folie à Deux with Joaquin Phoenix, she announced the lead single for her upcoming eighth studio album to be released in October.[2]

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.[3] Three days later, the release of the single was confirmed by her label through a pre-save website.[4] The cryptic website depicted a glitch of the phrase "I could play the doctor" against a black screen.[5] Alongside the announcement, Gaga also revealed lyrics of the song as well as the official logo.[6] Gaga shared a promotional poster along with global release dates and the exact time on her Twitter that same day.[7]
