Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, has been very open about her rise to global fame. She has talked about her fears and recent successes. She was honest about her past and said that being alone was the thing she feared the most. She told me, “I think my biggest fear was doing this by myself—doing life on my own.”

After dating for four years, Gaga got proposed to tech entrepreneur Michael Polansky in April 2024. The proposal was personal and meaningful. Polansky made the ring out of grass blades, which was a nod to Lady Gaga’s silly idea for a simple proposal. It was this kind act that gave her the idea for the song “Blade of Grass” on her new album “Mayhem,” which comes out on March 7, 2025. The song is about their love and the important events that led to them getting married.

While adding new sounds to the spirit of her early hits, “Mayhem” is Gaga’s return to her pop roots. The record has songs with other singers, like Bruno Mars on “Die with a Smile,” which was number one on the charts around the world for ten weeks. Polansky was very important in making the record. He co-wrote seven songs and was an executive producer with Lady Gaga.

The first song, “Disease,” which came out on October 25, 2024, is in Lady Gaga’s signature style and has been praised by critics. The second song, “Abracadabra,” came out on February 3, 2025, and is now in the top five in both Germany and the UK. Fans can’t wait for the record to come out because it will be a big step in Lady Gaga’s already successful career.
