Lady Gaga has released The Dead Dance from Wednesday.
Mother Monster penned the Thriller-esque track for season two of Tim Burton’s hit Netflix Gothic drama.
Over a beat like the Michael Jackson classic, Gaga sings: “When you killed me inside, that’s when I came alive.
“You’ve created a creature of the night/ Now I’m haunting your air, your soul, your eyes.”
A theatrical music video helmed by Burton is also said to be on the way.
Gaga, who will also make a cameo this season, announced at Spotify and Netflix’s Wednesday Graveyard Gala in New York City last week: “I had a wonderful time working on Wednesday season two, even just being a small part of the show.
“I loved working with Tim Burton and Jenna [Ortega, Wednesday Addams] and everyone here, it’s so incredible. Thank you. I’m also here to confirm my song The Dead Dance is coming.”
The Abracadabra hitmaker will guest star as Rosaline Rotwood, an iconic Nevermore Academy teacher whose mysterious past entwines with Ortega’s Wednesday.
Per Variety, the track was co-written with her Mayhem collaborators Andrew Watt and Cirkut.
Fuelling speculation around Gaga’s role, she and Wednesday director Burton were spotted filming on Mexico’s infamous Island of the Dolls — a creepy locale littered with disfigured dolls and ghostly lore. Burton praised Gaga: “She’s such an artist… working with her is endlessly inspiring.”
Gaga told Entertainment Weekly of her landing the gig earlier this year: “I don’t want to give away anything about being part of the show.
“I want to keep it extra secret – but I love Jenna and I really had an amazing time!”
Her cameo in season two comes after the viral dance from the show set to Gaga’s 2011 hit Bloody Mary.
