Lady Gaga has revealed the tracklist for her seventh studio album, “Mayhem,” set to be released on March 7.

Among singles including “Disease,” “Abracadabra” and “Die With A Smile” with Bruno Mars, “Mayhem” also includes titles such as “Perfect Celebrity,” “LoveDrug,” and the only other feature, “Killah” with Gesaffelstein.

Gaga posted the tracklist on Tuesday, sharing a video with instrumentals and the album’s song titles. There are two stars at the end of the list that flicker in and out to reveal bonus tracks “Kill For Love” and “Can’t Stop the High.”

“The album started as me facing my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved,” Gaga said in the initial album announcement, describing the creative process as “reassembling a shattered mirror: even if you can’t put the pieces back together perfectly, you can create something beautiful and whole in its own new way.”

The 14-track project was executive produced by Gaga, Michael Polansky and Andrew Watt. Producers on the album include Gaga, Andrew Watt, Cirkut, and Gesaffelstein.

In a Dec. 19 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Gaga said the LP was “full of [her] love of music” and was composed of “so many different genres, so many different styles, so many different dreams.”

“It leaps around genre in a way that’s almost corrupt,” she told the publication. “And it ends with love. That’s the answer to all the chaos in my life is that I find peace with love. Every song that I wrote, I just kept getting kind of swept away in these different dreams I was having about the past — almost like a recollection of all these bad decisions that I made in my life.”

She added, “But it ends in this very happy place.”

Outside of her work for “Joker: Folie à Deux,” this will be Gaga’s first full-length effort since 2020’s “Chromatica,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 upon its release. Lady Gaga previously hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with the “A Star Is Born” soundtrack (with Bradley Cooper, in 2018 and 2019), “Joanne” (in 2016), “Cheek to Cheek” (with Tony Bennett in 2014), “Artpop” (in 2013) and “Born This Way” (in 2011).
