She's back and better than ever!

Lady Gaga released her first solo single in three years late Thursday, and it's already the talk of the town! "Perfect Illusion" has a very "Papa Don't Preach" vibe, and it kind of dances the line between pop and rock.

It's the first track of her upcoming fifth studio album, and she learned to play the guitar specifically for this release.

"She's never played guitar in public before. She's happiest when she's sitting at a piano, barking orders at a drummer. That side of her, I don't think a lot of the world has seen. It's really great to make this very honest, authentic, kind of analog record with her," collaborator Mark Ronson said back in May.

The tune is being used for the American Horror Story promos.
