Applause is the name of a song written in 2012 by Lady Gaga and her long time collaborator, DJ White Shadow.
DJ White Shadow has previously worked with Lady Gaga on her previous album, Born This Way
The song will serve as the lead single from her fourth upcoming album, ARTPOP.
The song is written and produced by both Lady Gaga herself and DJ White Shadow (real name Paul Blair).
DJ White Shadow served as producer on the following songs previously:
Black Jesus † Amen Fashion
Bloody Mary
Electric Chapel
Government Hooker
Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)
CAKE Like Lady Gaga
The song can be purchased through the usual vendors, and a "placeholder" application for the ARTPOP
project can also be downloaded on the day to both iOS and Android devices.
The song will be performed at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
There is a lot of hype building around this performance as arguably one of her most defining performances as
well as another slightly more polarising performance piece were performed at previous Video Music Award ceremonies.

The single cover was shot by dutch fashion photographers Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin.
It has been confirmed to have been lifted directly from the music video.
The cover is [potentially] the first in a series in which Gaga becomes "every icon".
Therefore, the Applause single cover can be interpreted as Gaga as the sad clown, Pierrot.

VIDEO RELEASING 19th AUGUST 2013
Much to the pleasure of some fans, Gaga will not be directing.
Instead, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, who shot most promotional material for the album, will direct and shoot.
Their previous works include:
Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2013 Collection Ad Campaign,
Dior's SECRET GARDEN Advertisement
Nina Ricci Fall/Winter 2012 Collection Ad Campaign
The duo have filmed with the same camera that was used to film Prometheus, Fincher's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Social Network and The Hobbit.

And there we have it! As a huge Gaga fan, I'm pretty excited to her what her and her team have put together after such a long wait.
As with any thread on NeoGAF about a pop star, there's bound to be some criticisms and discussions.
But if all you can contribute is "SHE STILL HAS A PENIS LOL" then I suggest you move into 2013 and leave 2009 alone.
Enjoy the music!
