Lady Gaga has announced that her new song “The Dead Dance” will be released on September 3.
Variety broke the news earlier this month that the pop star was planning to drop the song slated to appear in the second season of the Tim Burton-helmed Netflix series “Wednesday.” Early last month, several outlets speculated that Gaga had been with Burton on the Island of the Dolls in Xochimilco, south of Mexico City, to film a music video for the track.
Gaga announced the release date, fittingly set for a Wednesday, on social media shortly after walking the carpet at Spotify and Netflix’s “Wednesday” Graveyard Gala in New York City tonight. She appeared alongside star Jenna Ortega and addressed the crowd to reveal news of the single.
“I had a wonderful time working on ‘Wednesday’ season two, even just being a small part of the show,” she said. “I loved working with Tim Burton and Jenna and everyone here, it’s so incredible. Thank you. I’m also here to confirm my song ‘The Dead Dance’ is coming.”

Gaga is yet to appear in “Wednesday,” as episodes roll out in batches. The first four episodes dropped on Aug. 6, sans Gaga, while the latter four will be released on the same day that “Dead Dance” impacts.
It makes sense that Gaga would be on hand for the “Wednesday” premiere as she just wrapped her fourth night at New York City’s Madison Square Garden last night. She’s in the throes of her “Mayhem Ball” tour, which kicked off in Las Vegas in July, and plans to head down to Miami before swinging back to NYC, Toronto and Chicago before heading overseas for the international leg of the trek.
