The new song showcases the duo’s vocals
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars have finally released “Die With a Smile,” the new single they teased last week.
Gaga and Mars previously hinted that the duet was coming by wearing each other’s merchandise in their social media posts. On Thursday, they officially announced it on Instagram with a post showing the two in matching blue and red western outfits. In the caption, Gaga also teased her seventh studio album, noting that the song would tide fans over until then.
The song really showcases the duo’s stunning vocal skills as they sing the chorus: “If the world was ending, I’d wanna be next to you/When the party was over and our time on earth was up/I’d wanna hold you just for a while and die with a smile.”
It’s been a few years since either of them released new music. Mars’ last solo album was in 2016 24k Magic. He teamed up with Anderson .Paak for 2021 An evening with Silk Sonic. Gaga’s last studio album was in 2020 Chromatica. She has focused on her film career in recent years and starred in House of Gucci and films Joker: Foil for Twowhich will be released later this year.
In March, Gaga posted on her birthday that she was doing well and working on new music. “Today was such a special day – I can’t remember when I’ve ever been this happy on my birthday. I love my best friend, my family and friends are loving and kind and healthy,” Gaga wrote. “I feel like my heart is bursting with gratitude for my own health and music – I’m writing some of my best songs for as long as I can remember.”
