This collaboration places Lady Gaga’s music on a global stage, syncing the excitement of Formula 1 racing with the energy of her highly anticipated album. The first listen of “Garden of Eden” arrives with the launch of ESPN’s Formula 1 campaign on March 5, setting the tone for the upcoming races.
Fans can hear the track ahead of the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Australian Grand Prix on March 15, which will air live on ESPN at 11:55 a.m. ET. As anticipation for the album builds, ESPN plans to continue integrating MAYHEM’s music throughout the season, making Formula 1 a key part of Gaga’s return to the spotlight.
With MAYHEM, Gaga steps back into the music scene after four years, following the success of Chromatica (2020). The new album signals a fresh creative direction, and the decision to premiere songs through Formula 1 suggests an electrifying sound that matches the energy of the sport.
While details about MAYHEM remain limited, the Formula 1 campaign teases a rollout designed to keep fans engaged over several months. The anthem placement not only broadens her audience but also introduces a new way for her music to reach listeners in a high-energy setting.
“Garden of Eden” officially drops on March 7, two days after its debut in ESPN’s Formula 1 campaign. The Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Australian Grand Prix on March 15 will further amplify the song’s reach, playing it for an audience that spans sports and music fans alike.
