Lady Gaga’s Unreleased Song ‘Garden of Eden’ Selected as ESPN’s Formula 1 Anthem for the 2025 Season

Lady Gaga‘s song “Garden of Eden” isn’t even out yet, but it’s already the soundtrack for the 2025 Formula One racing season.

As announced Wednesday (March 5), the unreleased track — which is set to arrive in full Friday (March 7) along with the rest of the pop star’s highly anticipated Mayhem album — will serve as ESPN’s theme song for the sport this year. Sharing a video montage of its top drivers and sparks flying from race cars speeding down the track, the network wrote on Instagram, “Introducing @espnf1’s anthem for the 2025 season, ‘Garden of Eden’ by the one and only @ladygaga.”

ESPN paired the video with a snippet of “Garden of Eden,” which comes third on the previously announced Mayhem tracklist. “Go get your friends and meet me on the floor,” Gaga sings over a throbbing dance beat and euphoric synths on the track. “Take you to the Garden of Eden/ Poisoned apple, take a bite/ I’ll t-t-take you to the Garden of Eden.”

The 2025 season will officially kick off March 14 with the Round 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix in Australia.

The clip is just the latest snippet Little Monsters have gotten of Mayhem. The long-awaited LP was preceded by singles “Die With a Smile” — the A Star Is Born actress and Bruno Mars’ duet spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — “Disease” and “Abracadabra.” Gaga has previously teased that the album is properly pop, but “leaps around genre in a way that’s almost corrupt,” as she put it to The Los Angeles Times in December. 

The F1 news comes just a couple days after the 14-time Grammy winner announced plans to perform a ¡Viva La Mayhem! concert in Mexico City in April, which will come a few days before she plays a beachside show in Rio de Janeiro. Also in April, Gaga will headline Coachella 2025.
