Lady Gaga has cast a spell over the music world with her latest single, “Abracadabra.” Debuting in spectacular fashion during the 2025 Grammys broadcast, the electrifying dance track has taken over streaming platforms, ignited fan celebrations, and earned praise from fellow pop stars.
The song’s accompanying music video, co-directed by Gaga, Parris Goebel, and Bethany Vargas, delivers a visually stunning narrative of duality, power, and resilience. In the video, Gaga faces off against a mysterious “lady in red,” representing the internal struggle of an artist constantly evolving under pressure. With over 40 dancers executing high-energy choreography, the video captures the essence of Gaga’s return to her dance-pop roots.
Industry insiders and pop icons alike have rallied behind “Abracadabra.” Halsey took to Instagram, calling it a “new reason to live,” while Doja Cat was seen singing along to the track in a behind-the-scenes video. Troye Sivan, Jade Thirlwall, and ROSÉ of BLACKPINK also expressed their admiration, amplifying the song’s cultural moment. Fans have embraced the track’s hypnotic beats and theatrical visuals, comparing it to iconic Gaga eras such as Born This Way and The Fame Monster.
Beyond the immediate success of “Abracadabra,” anticipation continues to build for Mayhem, Gaga’s seventh studio album, set to release on March 7. The album is already shaping up to be a boundary-pushing return to form, featuring previously released singles “Die With a Smile” and “Disease.” While “Die With a Smile,” a collaboration with Bruno Mars, has dominated the charts, “Abracadabra” signals Gaga’s fearless commitment to bold visuals and immersive storytelling.
The response to Mayhem has been overwhelmingly positive, with critics praising Gaga’s willingness to embrace the theatricality and sonic experimentation that made her a global icon. With a return to avant-garde fashion, intricate choreography, and club-ready anthems, Gaga is once again redefining the boundaries of pop music.
As “Abracadabra” continues its meteoric rise, fans and critics alike are left spellbound, eager to see what other surprises Lady Gaga has in store. With Mayhem on the horizon, the pop world is officially under her spell once more.
