The multi-award-winning artist had been performing in pain from her fibromyalgia struggle which began in 2013 when she fractured her hip.

Lady Gaga has opened up about her decision to stop self-medicating with marijuana.

The 38-year-old artist looked back in her October cover story with Vogue at her last time touring in 2022 for the Chromatica Ball.

It comes after the Joker: Folie à Deux star said she had fibromyalgia , which Mayo Clinic says causes muscle pain and tenderness, fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues.

However, her relationship with fiancé Michael Polansky has helped her move away from "pot."

"Michael and I did that tour together,” she told Vogue . "I did it pain-free! I haven't smoked pot in years. I've, like, changed."

"A lot ," she continued before adding that Polansky influenced her upcoming album she referred to as LG7 .

Why Lady Gaga's Fiancé Michael Polansky Is The Reason She Is Returning To Pop Music

"I feel like this new album, in a lot of ways, is about that time but from a place of happiness instead of misery. And now, Michael and I are really excited to organize our lives -- and our marriage -- around our creative output as a couple."

"Michael is the person who told me to make a new pop record. He was like, 'Babe. I love you. You need to make pop music,'" she told the publication.

The album is not officially titled just yet, but it is set to be released in February 2025, with the first single set to drop in October. Vogue's writer described the song the 38-year-old played for him during their interview as "intense and ominous ... old-school Gaga banger, unsettling but also buoyant."

"Like anyone would do for the person they love, I encouraged her to lean in to the joy of it. On the Chromatica tour, I saw a fire in her; I wanted to help her keep that alive all the time and just start making music that made her happy," Polansky told Vogue separately.
