In a highly unexpected collaboration, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars surprised fans by teaming up to release their new song, "Die With A Smile." The song will be available on August 16th and will showcase the unique styles and chemistry of both artists.

The official press release states: "Debut collaboration between Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars as they deliver a timeless ballad. Die With A Smile represents the first new music from either artist since 2021 & 2022 respectively. Between them, they have sold a staggering 300M records worldwide, with a combined 13 singles that have reached #1 on Billboard Hot 100."

Both expressed admiration for each other in interviews and social media posts. According to Gaga, the collaboration came about organically when Mars invited her to his studio late one night to hear what he had been working on. The duo then spent the night crafting the song. "Bruno’s talent is beyond explanation," Gaga said in a press release, adding that they finished the song in just a few hours. Mars echoed her sentiments, saying, "She’s an icon, and she makes this song magical. I’m so excited for everyone to hear it." This mutual respect is evident in the final product, with both artists shining in their respective elements

"Die With A Smile" represents a significant return for both artists. Gaga’s last solo album, Chromatica, was released in 2020, while Mars hasn’t released a solo album since 24K Magic in 2016. This collaboration may signal a new era for both artists as they gear up for future projects. Gaga has already teased that her next album, affectionately dubbed LG7, is in the works, while fans eagerly await what Mars will do next.
