It’s hardly a surprise given the widespread fan speculation, but two sources close to the situation confirm to Variety that Lady Gaga will release a song titled “Dead Dance” that will appear in the forthcoming season 2 of the Tim Burton-helmed Netflix series “Wednesday.”
The song and video are expected to be released next month to coincide with her appearance in the show as Rosaline Rotwood, a “legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday.”
Reps for Gaga declined to confirm or deny the report.
Early last month, multiple media outlets reported that Gaga, who is currently on her blockbuster “Mayhem Ball” tour, and Burton had been spotted on the Island of the Dolls in Xochimilco, south of Mexico City, which is purportedly haunted and features hundreds of decaying dolls strung across trees and structures.
Sources say the song was recorded with the same team that helmed the “Mayhem” album, primarily cowriters and coproducers Andrew Watt and Cirkut.
Burton spoke effusively about Gaga at the premiere of “Wednesday” Season 2 in London last week, saying saying that working the multi-hyphenate artist on the series was “inspirational.”
Gaga wasn’t in attendance at the premiere due to her ongoing Mayhem Ball tour, but has joined a cast that includes Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones and new faces Steve Buscemi as new Nevermore principal Barry Dort and Joanna Lumley as Wednesday’s grandmother.
“She’s such an artist and so for me, working with an artist is inspirational,” Burton, who directs and executive produces “Wednesday,” told Variety of Gaga. “But I felt that way about Joanna and Steve, who I’ve worked with before. These people come on this set, you see the whole crew kind of light up. It’s a beautiful thing to witness.”Burton also recently teased that he may collaborate with Gaga again in the future, saying at the Giffoni Film Festival in Italy that he’s “done something else with her.” Asked by Variety if he could reveal more details or confirm that they’re working together again, Burton replied: “No, I can’t. But I hope so.”
