Lady Gaga just teased a new ‘Joanne’ jam.

With the October 21st release of the album rapidly drawing near, the 2017 Super Bowl Halftime headliner is hitting the radio rounds.

Today’s stop brought her to On Air With Ryan Seacrest.

While in the studio, Mother Monster offered an impromptu rendition of a song named ‘Just Another Day.’

Describing the song – which is the last song on the LP – Gaga told Seacrest:

“It’s probably the most New York-glam-pop song on the album. It’s the one that airs from David Bowie, Mark Bolan, and then maybe from some like obscure, London Metal stuff, The Beatles. It also kind of airs from the electro-clash movement from New York and that’s kind of when I was coming up, was right after that.”

Over the course of Britney Spears‘ career, the Pop icon has made a name for herself by way of her captivating videos and potent performances. Vocals, however, have never been her calling card.

Many scratched their heads, then, when the star booked a seat aboard James Corden‘s ‘Carpool Karaoke. After all, it’s a segment that’s made headlines thanks to guest stints from belters such as Adele and Mariah Carey.

Still, with the game changing at a rapid rate and an album in ‘Glory’ to promote, who can fault Spears for seizing on one of the most popping platforms?
