Ahead of the 2025 Grammys ceremony, rumors swirled about a surprise release from Lady Gaga’s forthcoming LP MAYHEM set to premiere during the telecast. Indeed, fans were not disappointed — Gaga premiered her new song “Abracadabra” and its fashion-filled music video as the Grammys took place, offering another peek at what’s to come from her March 7 album release.
The song is perhaps the strongest dance-geared track from the artist since her 2020 album “Chromatica.” A heavy winding and grinding synth is the foundation for the infectious hook where Gaga exclaims “Abracadabra, abracadabra! Feel the beat under your feet the floor’s on fire.” In a true return to form the singer is backed by a troupe of synchronized dancers and dressed in avante-garde looks including archival Givenchy by Alexander McQueen.
Later the harsh synth bass opens the floor for ethereal house piano riffs in the bridge and the triumphant chorus: “Abracadabra, abra-ooh-na-na. In her tongue, she said, “Death or love tonight!”
It became an even bigger night for Gaga when she and her collaborator Bruno Mars won Best Pop Duo for “Die With a Smile,” which recently earned the singer her latest #1 and made her the third person in history to have multiple #1s in three distinct decades.
The duo used their performance slot to honor the victims of California’s recent wildfires, choosing to sing a cover of “California Dreamin’” by The Mamas and The Papas.
See the rambunctious video for Lady Gaga’s “Abracadabra” above and stay tuned for her forthcoming album release on March 7, 2025.
