Lady Gaga joined forces with Tim Burton for a killer new video just in time for spooky season.

Mother Monster dropped her latest single "The Dead Dance" on Wednesday (September 3), her first new music since releasing her most recent studio album MAYHEM in March. The track is included in season two of the hit Netflix series Wednesday, part two of which also dropped Wednesday and features Gaga as Nevermore Academy teacher Rosaline Rotwood.

In addition to the song, Gaga shared an accompanying music video directed by Burton, and it's exactly what you'd hope for from the director of beloved films like Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands and Corpse Bride.

The black-and-white video showcases Gaga, surrounded by dozens of creepy abandoned baby dolls, as a cracked porcelain figure herself coming to life. As she sings ands dances along to the upbeat track, she wakes up the dolls who all start blinking, smiling and dancing along with her.

"'Cause when you killed me inside, that's when I came alive/ Yeah, the music's gonna bring me back from death," she sings in the chorus. "I'm dancin' until I'm dead/ I'll dance until I'm dead."

You can listen to "The Dead Dance" on iHeartRadio and watch the music video below.
