Lady Gaga is making her music comeback with new song "Stupid Love" from rumoured next album "Chromatica", which up until now has only been known as LG6.

Little Monsters, assemble! Lady Gaga is back with a new track, and even though it's not released until 28th February, everyone is already going wild for it following a leak online.

'Stupid Love' is the first track we've heard from her upcoming album "Chromatica" or previously known as LG6, and the upbeat bop is already coming for the entire A Star Is Born soundtrack in itself. Come on, it's been approx three years since an actual Gaga album. She has pink hair now!

Since the song had its leak last August (before her record label took it down but the whole internet found out what it was called anyway), Gaga has confirmed that 'Stupid Love' will be dropping this Friday, and fans are rallying around to make sure it hits that #1 spot in the charts.

She's also dropped a mini teaser on her Instagram, and the video is set to give us some big Star Trek energy.

We already have access to the lyrics before the song officially drops (thank you copyright infringes of the internet, you do your duty well) - and we've dissected exactly what they mean...

Since we last heard from her, Miss Stefani Germanotta has had no end of love-life drama. We feel you. Since breaking up from her fiancé, Christian Carino at the beginning of 2019, she's since dated her audio engineer Dan Horton, before moving onto Parker Foundation CEO, Michael Polansky - who she is more than loved up with on Instagram RN.

Here's the lyrics to 'Stupid Love' in full.

[Verse 1]
You’re the one that I’ve been waiting for
Gotta quit this crying, nobody’s gonna
Heal me if I don’t open the door
Kinda hard to believe (Gotta have faith in me)

[Refrain]
Freak out, freak out, freak out, freak out (Look at me)
Get down, get down, get down, get down (Look at me)
Freak out, freak out, freak out, freak out
Look at me now

[Pre-Chorus]
’Cause all I ever wanted was love
Hey, hey-uh (Ooh-ooh)
Hey, hey-uh (Ooh-ooh)
Hey, hey-uh
All I ever wanted was love
Hey, hey-uh (Ooh-ooh)
Hey, hey-uh (Ooh-ooh)
Hey, hey-uh (Higher, higher)

[Chorus]
I want your stupid love, love
I want your stupid love, love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Now it’s time to free me from the chain
I gotta find that peace, is it too late
Or could this love protect me from the pain?
I would battle for you (Even if I break in two)

[Bridge]
I don’t need a reason (Oh)
Not sorry, I want your stupid love
I don’t need a reason (Oh)
Not sorry, I want your stupid love
Higher, higher

[Chorus]
I want your stupid love, love (Oh, oh, woo)
We got a stupid love, love (Love, love, uh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I want your stupid love, love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I want your stupid love, love

We're already obsessed. But we wouldn't go looking for the leak if we were you, as Gaga's already made her thoughts very clear on the song getting out.

Awkwardly, the owner of the image she posted in the tweet found the perfect moment to clap back (in a friendly way, obviously), and called her out for stealing the image without paying for it. Yikes.

Shutterstock replied: "We hear you! We like artist to be paid for their work too. Here's a link to the photographer's work where you can license these quality images." Eek!

Stream "Stupid Love" on Friday. We approve this message.
