Get ready, Little Monsters and Addams Family fans! Lady Gaga just dropped a bomb about her new song “The Dead Dance” and its major role in ‘Wednesday’ Season 2. She even spilled the details alongside Jenna Ortega at an exclusive gala event. Are you prepared to “Do The Dead Dance” when Part Two hits Netflix?
Excitement is building among fans of both music and gothic television as global superstar Lady Gaga has officially announced the release date for her highly anticipated new single, “The Dead Dance.” This electrifying track is set to feature prominently in the second season of Netflix’s immensely popular series, “Wednesday,” promising a thrilling synergy between music and television that has captivated audiences worldwide. The announcement came during a star-studded gala event in New York City, where Gaga appeared alongside the show’s lead, Jenna Ortega.
The specific revelation occurred at the exclusive Netflix x Spotify ‘Wednesday’ Season 2 Graveyard Gala on August 28, 2025. This lavish event served as the perfect backdrop for the dual announcement, drawing significant media attention and generating a buzz across social media platforms. Lady Gaga’s presence alongside Jenna Ortega underscored the significance of her involvement in the beloved series, fueling speculation and anticipation for her role and the song’s impact.
Confirming the exciting news, Lady Gaga took to social media, reposting a photo of herself from the gala on X (formerly Twitter) with the emphatic caption, “DO THE DEAD DANCE! Sept 3.” She further solidified the announcement while engaging with fans gathered at the event, expressing her profound enjoyment. “I had a wonderful time working on Season Two, even just being a small part of the show. I loved working with Tim Burton and Jenna and everyone here, it’s so incredible. Thank you,” she conveyed to the appreciative crowd. She concluded by explicitly stating, “I’m also here to confirm my song ‘The Dead Dance’ is coming.”
Adding to the intrigue, “The Dead Dance” is slated to drop on September 3, coinciding with the release of Part Two of the ‘Wednesday’ Season 2. While the initial four episodes of the season premiered earlier this month, Lady Gaga has yet to make an appearance, leaving fans eagerly hoping for her debut in the upcoming installments. This strategic release date further heightens the anticipation for both the new Lady Gaga track and its integration into the Wednesday Season 2 narrative, setting the stage for a dramatic reveal.
This isn’t the first time Lady Gaga has teased her new single. Just last week, during an immersive virtual “meet and greet” event hosted on Roblox, the artist gave fans a sneak peek. The online gathering allowed fans to collaborate with the star in assembling gothic-themed outfits for a unique catwalk competition, subtly hinting at the dark aesthetics often associated with the Netflix series.
During the Roblox “Dress to Impress” event, speculation about Gaga’s participation was rife until she confirmed her identity. She later posted a photo on X of herself playing the game on her iPad, accompanied by the caption, “In case you were wondering if it was me.” This playful confirmation added a layer of personal connection with her fanbase, building organic hype for “The Dead Dance” and her involvement with Jenna Ortega and the production.
As she continues to make headlines with her musical endeavors and collaborations, Lady Gaga is also currently traversing the globe for her highly successful Mayhem Ball Tour. With upcoming stops in major North American cities like Miami, New York, Chicago, and Toronto, followed by a European leg in October and November, her schedule remains packed. This continued visibility ensures “The Dead Dance” will benefit from her extensive reach and ongoing presence in the music news cycle.
The convergence of a global music icon and a critically acclaimed television phenomenon like ‘Wednesday’ creates a potent cultural moment. Fans are not just anticipating a new song; they are looking forward to how “The Dead Dance” will weave into the mysterious and enchanting world of the Addams Family spin-off, promising an unforgettable experience for both music lovers and television enthusiasts alike.
