After previously hinting that such a collaboration was in the works, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars have now confirmed that a collaboration is on the way – and sooner than you think.

Both singers (and Super Bowl halftime stars) announced the duet on Thursday (August 15), sharing the cover artwork on Instagram. In the photo, the two wear matching red and blue retro western outfits, with Gaga holding a cigarette between her fingers and Mars posing with a white cowboy hat on her head.

“WHILE YOU WAIT FOR LG7… “DIE WITH A SMILE” a duet with @brunomars ❤️‍🔥,” the “Rain on Me” singer captioned the post. “Song and video tonight at 9pm PT (midnight ET).”

The announcement comes just two days after Gaga hinted that she would collaborate with the “Uptown Funk!” superstar, posting a video of herself playing a song on the piano while wearing a T-shirt with Mars’ face on it. The day before, the Haus Labs founder commented on a series of emojis on the Silk Sonic star’s Instagram post.

As Gaga announced in her caption, “Die With a Smile” will arrive ahead of the pop icon’s highly anticipated seventh album, which has kept fans waiting for a new LP since 2020, when she released the Billboard 200-topping album. Chromatica.

While performing at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris in July, Gaga took to the streets to introduce her fans to snippets of new songs from the upcoming album. She jumped out of the sunroof of a limousine outside her hotel in the French capital, simply opened her laptop and played two short snippets for a crowd of rapt listeners.
