ELLE: At the end of the video, is she defeated? Are you victorious over all that inner doubt? 

GAGA: To me, in this video, she initiates the challenge and this purer side of me that is peering up at all of the negative backtalk, all of the doubt, and facing all that side of me, she completely comes through. And she says, 'I'm up for the challenge.' And it's interesting because we had all these different ways that we thought about the video ending and ultimately I wanted this song to be about resilience in a way the song Disease was not. That track was about inner torture and being trapped.

And so with this song, I wanted to crack open what it means to persevere. And explore the metaphor of perseverance on the dance floor, because the dance floor is - for me, anyway - it has always been the place where I try to improve myself as a human being. How do I work harder? Have more passion? How do I give more of my authentic self? How do I earn my spot as a performer?

Last week, as part of a spectacular cover with ELLE UK, Lady Gaga revealed everything about her life, love Michael Polansky and, crucially, her new album, Mayhem. Then, last night, during The Grammys, Gaga made the monsters go wild again, by debuting her next single Abracadabra, alongside an incredibly crafted video.

With the song making such a splash, Lotte Jeffs sat down with Lady Gaga to exclusively ask her everything about Abracadabra, from the inspirations, to the costumes and choreography behind the video.

I love that she explains her thought process behind the song and video like this, I love knowing what her intention was.
