'LADY GAGA AND BRUNO MARS JUST DROPPED A TIMELESS CLASSIC,' @allurequinn declared on X, racking up 12,000 likes.
Listeners weren't only treated to the new single, but also an accompanying music video.
Directed by Daniel Ramos & Bruno Mars, the four-minute clip features the two pop stars in the same threads as the cover art.
Harkening back to the 60s, Lady Gaga models a mini dress with a flared skirt, adding bright red pantyhose, necktie scarf, and pointy-toe heels.
Topping the color-blocked look is a strawberry blonde wig stacked with a hive-like mound of curls á la Dolly Parton.
Mars matches her in a blue suit and button-up red shirt that's tucked into his trousers.
His sleek look is punctuated by a white cowboy hat, gold chain, and particularly eye-catching mustache.
The entire video takes place in a single space: a glowy stage where the unexpected pairing play their respective instruments, putting on a sultry and impassioned performance.

Gaga, born Stefani Germanotta, commands a retro-looking keyboard with a cigarette hanging out the corner of her mouth.
The Poker Face hitmaker hinted at the collaboration earlier this week when she shared a reel sitting at a white piano while wearing a T-shirt with Bruno's image on the front.
Banging at the piano for just a few seconds, fans now know she was playing the instrumental version of the dreamy-sounding tune.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Thursday, she uploaded a black and white photo of herself as her latest persona, adding the name 'LADY MARS.'
