Lady Gaga is stepping into the wonderfully weird world of Wednesday. The pop superstar has officially announced her new single, “The Dead Dance,” is intrinsically linked to the upcoming second season of the hit Netflix series. The reveal came during a special promotional event in New York City, solidifying the artist’s connection to the beloved show.
The single is set for a global release on September 3, 2025. This date is no coincidence, as it perfectly aligns with the premiere of the second part of Wednesday Season 2, making it a monumental day for fans of both Gaga and the gothic adventures of Wednesday Addams. Gaga herself confirmed the song is an integral part of the show’s narrative.
The grand announcement was made at Netflix and Spotify’s Graveyard Gala, where Gaga appeared alongside Wednesday stars Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers, and Joy Sunday. Attendees of the exclusive event were treated to a first listen inside unique coffin-themed listening booths, with Gaga cheekily telling them, “I hope you’re really comfortable in your caskets.”
This musical contribution is part of a larger involvement for Gaga in the show’s sophomore season. She expressed immense joy in working with director Tim Burton and the cast. A new trailer for the upcoming episodes further fueled fan speculation, featuring a mysterious voice highly reminiscent of Gaga’s, delivering a chilling warning: “Beware, there will be a price to pay.”
