Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars Team Up for 'Die with a Smile' Video — Watch!

The pop stars finally dropped their rumored collaboration on Friday

After days of teasing, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' rumored collaboration is finally here.

On Friday, Aug. 16, the global pop stars dropped a brand-new duet titled "Die with a Smile," along with a vintage-themed music video. The visual begins with Mars singing the lyrics and playing the guitar.

The camera later pans out and reveals Lady Gaga, who is sitting at a piano with a cigarette in her mouth. The duo, who match in denim and red ensembles, execute flawless harmonies with the band in the background. Every once in a while, flashing lights amp up the intimate environment, and at one point, Gaga gets up from behind the piano to dance.

“Bruno and I have a lot of mutual respect for each other and were talking about collaborating," the singer/actress said of the collaboration in a press release statement. "I was finishing up my own album in Malibu and one night after a long day he asked me to come to his studio to hear something he was working on."

Gaga continued: "It was around midnight when I got there and I was blown away when I heard what he had started making. We stayed up all night and finished writing and recording the song. Bruno’s talent is beyond explanation. His musicianship and vision is next level. There’s no one like him.”

The "That's What I Like" artist added that working with Gaga was an "honor."

"She’s an icon and she makes this song magical. I’m so excited for everyone to hear it,” Mars said in a press release statement.

Gaga, 38, and Mars, 38, confirmed their collaboration on social media just hours before it dropped, sharing the single's cover artwork that sees the two dressed in matching red and blue rodeo outfits.

"WHILE YOU WAIT TILL LG7…'DIE WITH A SMILE' a duet with @brunomars ❤️‍🔥," the "Bad Romance" singer captioned an Instagram post on Thursday, referring to her forthcoming seventh studio album.

The duo seemingly dropped breadcrumbs about their song on Tuesday when Gaga shared a teaser clip of her playing a slow piano medley on X (formerly Twitter) while sporting a shirt with Mars' face on it. The latter then fueled rumors by quoting the singer's post with the wide-eyes emoji.

The next day, the "Uptown Funk" hitmaker returned the favor to Gaga by posting a photo of himself pointing to a skull-head graphic tee with her name on it.

"Die with a Smile" marks Mars and Gaga's first song together, but the two shared the stage at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Paris in 2016, where they, along with The Weeknd, performed a medley of their songs live. Individually, though, the pair's new single marks their first new release in a while.

Mars hasn't dropped a solo LP since 2016's 24K Magic. Although he did join forces with Anderson .Paak in 2021 to form their Grammy-winning group Silk Sonic and drop one singular album together, An Evening with Silk Sonic.

Gaga, on the other hand, hasn't released a new solo album since 2020's Chromatica — which inspired her 2022 tour that got the documentary treatment earlier this year. She did, however, collaborate with late legendary singer Tony Bennett for their 2021 jazz album, Love for Sale, before the latter died in July 2023.

But her solo music drought may soon be over, as the "Poker Face" singer has been hinting at LG7 for weeks now. First, she posted photos of herself in front of a studio microphone on Instagram in mid-July and captioned them, "Just me in the studio—happy as ever making music 🖤🕶️💋🎶."

"Feel so grateful, heart is peaceful. It’s like meditation," she added. "I can’t wait for you to hear what I’m working on."

Next, per Billboard, the 13-time Grammy winner surprised fans in Paris with snippets of songs from her upcoming album following her performance at the 2024 Olympic Games opening ceremony on July 26.

"I’m so deeply touched by my French fans this week outside the hotel. I’m gonna come out and say goodbye tonight with a few seconds of #LG7," she wrote on her Instagram Stories before going outside to play the new music.

Last month, a source told PEOPLE that Gaga has "never been happier" about the music she's been recording lately, adding, "She’s feeling the most creative she’s ever been."
