Lady Gaga has collaborated with director Tim Burton for the first time on the music video for her single The Dead Dance.
The video is in Burton's typical gothic style and features Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, performing on Mexico's Isla de las Muñecas, the Island of the Dolls, and is shot in black and white with the occasional burst of colour.
The Poker Face singer said: "The inspiration for The Dead Dance was a break-up, and it was all about the way that we sometimes feel when it's over, how a relationship ending can kill our ability to feel hopeful about love.
"It's got this really cool, funky beat underneath it, and that is when the song becomes not just about the relationship, it becomes about having fun with your friends when you've been through something tough and amazing.
"I can't wait for people to listen to it."
The video was produced by the 39-year-old Smile singer and her fiancé Michael Polansky alongside Burton, 67, and Natalie Testa.
It comes after the track featured in season two of Netflix's Addams Family spin-off Wednesday, also directed in part by Burton, which saw Gaga make a cameo appearance as Rosaline Rotwood.
Burton is best known for films such as Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
