While Lady Gaga<\/strong> has spoken of the darkness and chaos inside her that inspired some of the songs on her new album, she says ultimately, she just wants people to have a blast listening to it.<\/p>\n

Speaking to <\/strong>Vogue<\/strong><\/em><\/a>,<\/em> Gaga says, “Everything changed for me after the\u00a0Fame Monster\u00a0<\/em>era: After that happened, my mission as an artist changed, and it became more about making people happy, and less about my personal mission as an artist. My personal mission became making the public smile as much as possible. So when I was making\u00a0Mayhem<\/em>, I wanted it to be a good time, and not all about me.”<\/p>\n

She adds, “It\u2019s inspired by so much of my life\u2014my dreams and my approach to music\u2014but it\u2019s also about honoring how complex people are, and that we can be chaotic. Because the world is chaotic.”<\/p>\n

So far, fans seem to be loving what they’ve heard from the album: “Die With a Smile” was a #1 hit and “Abracadabra” topped the dance charts.\u00a0Gaga\u00a0tells <\/em>Billboard,<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0“I am really grateful, and I am really beside myself. I never expect anything like this …This is really a true honor and privilege.\u201d<\/p>\n

In particular, fans have taken to social media in full force to post videos of choreography, fashion and art inspired by her new music, which Gaga says she loves.<\/p>\n

“Between the dancing, the makeup, the hair, the costumes, it gives me so much life, and I am really honored,” she says. “All I ever want to do is make something that you press play and you feel good for the duration of the record, and maybe you play it again.\u201d<\/p>\n
