"Abracadabra" is a song recorded by American singer Lady Gaga. It was released February 2, 2025, as the second single from her eighth studio album, Mayhem (2025). The song is a dance-pop song[1] with house and electropop influences.[2] Reviewers praised the song and said that it was a return to Gaga's theatrical dance-pop roots.[3] She wrote the song with its producers, Cirkut and Watt, while also sampling the song "Spellbound" by Siouxsie & the Banshees.[3]

After only four days of tracking, the song entered at number 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100 for the chart week ending on February 15, leaping to number 13 the following week. It entered at number six in the UK, becoming her 17th top-ten hit there, before climbing to number three the following week. It entered at the top of Billboard's new Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart.

The song was nominated for four Grammys at the 2026 Grammy Awards: Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Dance Pop Recording, and Best Remixed Recording for the Gesaffelstein remix of the song.[4]

Music video

The video for the song was directed by Gaga with Bethany Vargas and its choreographer, Parris Goebel. It was compared to the video for Gaga's 2009 single "Bad Romance" due to its dark colors and high fashion and similar themes of love and death.[5] It premiered in a commercial during Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025.
