Thirty seconds. That’s all the time it takes for Lady Gaga to get to the chorus on her new song “Perfect Illusion”, (released Thursday night).

This is the first track released by the 30-year-old superstar since her Oscar-nominated song “Till It Happens To You”, which was written for the 2015 campus sexual assault documentary, “The Hunting Ground”.
The Ronson-produced track, which premiered on September 9 on BBC Radio 1, is the lead single off Gaga’s forthcoming, yet-untitled fifth studio album, which will also feature collaborations with Florence and the Machine’s Florence Welch and Beck.
Gaga admitted she was a HUGE fan on the girls: “Yeah I was a big fan in high school and we used to do performances at school you know, for talent shows and stuff”. “She’s really to me, if not the best, one of the greatest vocalists in the world”. On September 6, 2016 last, an Australian radio revealed the release date of the single Perfect Illusion of Lady Gaga.
She captioned the photo: “Taylor and I have always believed we are soul mates”.
On Tuesday, she shared the artwork for Perfect Illusion, and it’s pretty rock’n’roll. Ronson spoke before about the new album and the approach Lady Gaga is taking on this one: “She’s never played guitar in public before…but guitar is something she’s learning for this record”.
Are you excited for the Lady Gaga new album? Could she be talking about former fiance Taylor Kinney we wonder? “I don’t need eyes to see/I felt you touchin’ me/High like amphetamine/Maybe you’re just a dream”, the tweet reads, further igniting talk about her upcoming single.
“I just thought, ‘Who do I want to sing with?'” the Bad Romance singer continued.
‘There are also a lot of things on the internet that are not reality. “This song is about raging against that and letting it go”.
