Lady Gaga's new song for Netflix series Wednesday samples one of her greatest hits
Lady Gaga 's forthcoming single in support of season two of the Netflix series Wednesday will borrow from one of her biggest hits.
The 39-year-old pop star will have a small role in the imminent installment of the show, and last year she recorded an accompanying musical component — a track called Dead Dance.
A source shared with The Sun that the tune samples Gaga's hit Abracadabra, off her latest album Mayhem, which she is currently touring.
'It has already been a massive year for Gaga but she's never been one to rest on her laurels. Dead Dance is all ready to go and fans will love it.
'It's another classic dark pop tune and while it's been made for Wednesday, it perfectly fits into the world of Mayhem,' the insider revealed.
According to the publication, one lyric the music artist sings in Dead Dance is: 'When you killed me inside, that's when I came alive.'
Per the site, Dead Dance already has a choreographed dance routine that Wednesday producers hope will go viral on social media.
Wednesday season two is hitting the streamer in two parts, one of which debuts on August 6, and the other on September 3.
An official music video, along with the song, will be released in September when Gaga appears in the show as Rosaline Rotwood, a 'legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday,' Variety reported.
The singer-songwriter flew to Mexico to shoot the visualizer with Wednesday director Tim Burton.
Gaga and Tim reportedly traveled to the 'haunted' Island of the Dolls in Xochimilco, which is south of Mexico City, to film the video.
'Security was ridiculously tight, with even the mayor's office and police helping keep everything under wraps,' The Sun reported on Tuesday.
It was confirmed last November that the New York-bred songstress, born Stefani Germanotta, was added to the season two cast.
She filmed scenes in Ireland at the time, with details of her role being kept under wraps.
Sources told Variety last year that Gaga's role will be a cameo, despite the production team's efforts to give her a more significant role.
Wednesday premiered on Netflix in late 2022, with it quickly becoming a fan favorite.
Lady Gaga even participated in the show's viral TikTok dance, which revived her 2011 song Bloody Mary.
Then, at the 2023 Golden Globes, Ortega dished to Variety that she hoped Gaga would join the show's second season.
'I'm sure Netflix would love that,' the You star shared.
