The Rain on Me singer released her sixth studio album back on May 29, 2020, while being in quarantine. It was supposed to release on April 10, 2020, but was pushed ahead in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gaga also posted the same sun-kissed selfie on Twitter thanking her fans writing -

'I am so grateful and so blessed to have 9 #VMAs nominations this year for my album Chromatica, for Rain On Me, and other performances I’ve given. This is such a difficult time for people all over the world, I really honor how lucky I am to have a day like today.'
