Lady Gaga dropped her new single, "Perfect Illusion," on Thursday, to the delight of her dedicated fan base.
The track, which is off Mother Monster's upcoming, as-yet-untitled fifth studio album, is the singer's first pop single in three years, aside from her Oscar-nominated song "Till It Happens to You," which appeared on the soundtrack for then 2015 documentary The Hunting Ground.
Gaga first began promoting the release of "Perfect Illusion" back in August with a series of cryptic Instagram posts that eventually formed a photo mosaic teasing the new song.
The comeback track has fans absolutely freaking out. After a tense countdown to the time of its release, thousands of her devoted followers took to Twitter (after listening, sobbing, losing their minds, etc.) to share their elation.
Within minutes of its release, the single was trending on Twitter and fans across the globe jumped on the bandwagon, sharing their love in multiple languages.
"Perfect Illusion" is available now on iTunes. There's no word yet on the LP's release date.
