Lady Gaga Returns to the Studio for ‘LG7’: ‘Happy as Ever Making Music’
Lady Gaga is giving her Little Monsters a small — but very exciting — update on the status of the long-awaited LG7. The singer posted a series of photos from inside the recording studio on Thursday, assuring fans that new music is officially underway.
“Just me in the studio—happy as ever making music,” she wrote. “Feel so grateful, heart is peaceful. It’s like meditation. I can’t wait for you to hear what I’m working on.”

In the photos, Gaga is seen standing and presumably singing behind a microphone. In another shot, she sits at what appears to be the mixing console.
The post received an ecstatic reply from Kesha, who quickly commented, “Feed us, mother!!!!!” Gaga responded with a nod to Kesha’s new single, writing, “Just looking for a joyride ??????????????.”
Gaga has been slowly testing LG7, which will serve as the follow-up to 2020’s Chromatica. While celebrating her 38th birthday in March, the singer said she has been “writing some of my best music in as long as I can remember” and thanked her fans for their support over the years in an Instagram post. “Thank you thank you thank you for loving me the way you do and for having such a real love for my songs—I’ve been writing pop songs since I was a little girl I can’t believe I still get to do what I love.”
Along with getting back into the studio, Gaga recently announced the revival of her Jazz and Piano show in Las Vegas, where she performs jazz standards and tracks from the Great American songbook. She’s also set to join Fortnite for Fortnite Festival this year. In the years since Chromatica, Gaga has released a few songs, including “Hold My Hand” from Top Gun: Maverick in 2022, and she joined the Rolling Stones for “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” last year. She’s also set to star in Joker: Folie à Deux in October.
