Fans have been waiting for a 'Perfect Illusion' release date since the song was officially announced way back on August 17 – and we've kept waiting. And waiting. And waiting.

Gaga has at least dropped a few hints about the track along the way, calling 'Perfect Illusion' a song "about modern ecstasy" at iHeartRadio's Music Summit in New York.

Mark Ronson seems really excited about 'Perfect Illusion' and its "incredible" follow-up album too.

"I can't wait until you can hear it because the music speaks for itself – some of my favourite musicians of all time are working on it," Ronson teased.

As for the long wait, it could have something to do with Gaga's Golden Globe winning turn on American Horror Story: Hotel as the vampiric Countess.

On top of her new album, Gaga will be back for this autumn's sixth season of American Horror Story- probably in hopes of winning Globe number-two.

The mysterious American Horror Story returns to FX in the US on Wednesday, September 14. In the UK, the sixth season will air on Fox.

It's shaping up to the Autumn of Gaga.
