Rolling Stone: When I saw the tracklist, it moved me that Zombie Boy [the model and artist Rick Genest who appears in the ‘Born This Way’ video] inspired a song title. Rest in peace. Tell me about that song.
Lady Gaga: I think that Rick just was an inspiring person. And when I was working on this song, which is ultimately a big celebration song, that word just popped into my head. And that song is all about the moment in the night when you and your friends all realize that you’re going to wake up not feeling well the next day because you’re having too much fun, so it’s about being a zombie in the morning. But I think that, of course, he was such an inspiration.
- Lady Gaga on the song "Zombieboy" from her new album MAYHEM
Read the full special thanks from Lady Gaga to Little Monsters, Michael Polansky and the entire team behind the creation of "MAYHEM"
"Monsters: For nearly two decades, we've known and loved each other. You've been with me and my music through so many twists and turns. Whether I'm writing about the chaos of disease, witches casting spells in a nightclub, waking up as a zombie after being bitten on the dance floor, the strange way fame can feel like having a clone, or disappearing into pop oblivion with the person you love—you've always reminded me that I can be exactly who I want to be. Because when I looked out into the crowd, you were always exactly who you wanted to be.
In all the ways we didn't know who we were back then, we've been finding ourselves together. And I think I'm still doing that with you.
Thank you for being on this ride with me, no matter what. I'm truly, exceptionally, unspeakably grateful for that. My wish is that when you listen to these songs, you find a place to pour out all your negative thoughts and let the music carry you away—away from your own mayhem and into the mayhem of the music.
I want to give special thanks to my love, Michael, for the beautiful work you poured into this album every single day for over a year—and beyond. Your encouragement and love were constant, but you're also a completely brilliant creative partner. I've always been a renaissance woman, and I've often felt misunderstood anytime someone tried to put me in a box. I think we're so similar in that way. You can do anything. I've never seen anyone work as hard as you do. I don't think anyone in my life understands MAYHEM the way you do. I love this album with you. Thank you for making MAYHEM with me.
Thank you to Andrew Watt and Cirkut for their tireless work and endless talent. Thank you to George Saffelstein and Bruno Mars for sharing with me their artistry and for supporting me in mine. Thank you to Paul Lamalfa, Tyler Hart, Serban Ghenea, Randy Merrill, Bobby Campbell, Lindsay Shane, Stacey Quinn, Sonya Guardo, Bryan Lourd, John Janick, Steve Berman, and the Interscope team. Thank you to Arthur Fogel and Live Nation. Thank you to Todd Tours and Mel Roy.
Well Monsters: here we are again. Face to face. I made this for you."
