Lady Gaga has confirmed that her latest single is titled “Applause.”
Gaga’s assistant Tara Savelo teased fans with a photo of her hand over a picture with just the words “Applause” written across. The photo was captioned, “26 Days.”
Now Mother Monster has confirmed the news on her official website, showing off a picture of Gaga with the words, “Aug. 19 Buy single “Applause” and pre-order album/app ARTPOP.”
She also captioned the photo, “Due to public anticipation, ITUNES will now offer a pre-order for ARTPOP album/app on AUG 19, the same day you can purchase my new single 'Applause.’”
If this news wasn’t exciting enough, Gaga, 27, also announced on Twitter that the official artwork for “Applause” will be unveiled late Sunday on Women’s Wear Daily website. The magazine will hit newsstands tomorrow.
Gaga announced her post-surgery return to the stage last week. The “Born This Way” signer will perform at the MTV Music Awards August 25.
