Lady Gaga is getting back to basics.
Following her panned performance in the flop movie Joker: Folie à Deux, the New York City native, 38, is releasing a single titled Disease, set to be released Friday.
Diesase, the first of songs from her forthcoming seventh album, was teased Tuesday on the Grammy-winning artist’s Instagram account, as she captioned the image: ‘DISEASE 10.25.’
In a teaser clip from the viewpoint of an approaching vehicle, the actress-singer, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, sported a black mane as she ran from it.
Gaga’s label Universal Music on Monday put out pre-saves for the forthcoming single, with links to Spotify and Apple Music, Variety reported.

Gaga also made public a Spotify playlist in which her letters in her songs spelled out the phrase ‘Gaga Disease,’ according to the outlet.
Lady Gaga on Monday posted an adjacent image of what appeared to be her figure splayed across the front of a car with the phrase ‘Disease’ painted on the street, and a series of dates, times and cities.
The singer, whose hits include Bad Romance, Born This Way, Just Dance and Poker Face, is headed back to her pop persona following the September release of her album Harlequin, which was inspired by Joker: Folie à Deux.
Among the tracks on the album included two new songs, and standards such as That’s Entertainment, That’s Life and Get Happy.
Like the film, it was not an initial commercial success, marking her lowest ever entry for a full-length record on the Billboard 200 charts at number 20.
Lady Gaga in the movie played the role of Harley Quinn opposite Joaquin Phoenix, who earned the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in the franchise’s 2019 film Joker.
According to the outlet, Joker: Folie à Deux ‘could potentially lose $150 to $200 million‘ despite studio insiders saying it would break even.
The Warner Bros. film has made $192.2 million worldwide, with $56.6 million in domestic box office revenue, according to Box Office Mojo.

Some fans have said that despite the film’s initial failure financially and with critics, it will be looked upon favorably years from now.
Lady Gaga has had some commercial success in recent months with her pairing with Bruno Mars on Die With a Smile, which was released in August, landing in the third spot on Billboard’s Hot 100.
In 2020, she put out the studio album Chromatica, which initially landed in the top spot upon its debut and included the hit single Rain on Me, a collaboration with Ariana Grande.
