As of 2023, Lady Gaga has released over seven studio albums and other ones in collaboration with other artists like Tony Bennett. However, little did the public know that some songs never made it to the final cut, but there are copies swirling online.
From "No Way" to "Brooklyn Nights," fans have loved the sound of Mother Monster's unpublished tracks and they still wish that the songs could possibly be released in the future. Check out some of Lady Gaga's well-beloved unreleased songs below.
No Way
Written by the pop star herself as well as Fernando Garibay. The song was said to be produced in 2008 when the pair were working on tracks to present to Interscope Records.
It appears that the song was almost released by another artist as it was rumored to be offered to Beyoncé, but was not published as they reportedly wanted to keep it for future projects. However, Queen Bey never dropped the song.
"No Way" was believed to be a part of "The Fame Monster" as a bonus track for Little Monsters who purchased the record from the pop star's official website, but the rumor was later debunked.
Earthquake
"Earthquake" was one of Lady Gaga's earlier songs to get leaked and it was co-written and produced by "Space Cowboy," the musician who worked with some of the singer's songs from her first album "The Fame."
Although the song was never released, many fans who had heard the leaked version in the past were shocked when they heard the chorus on the "Fashion of His Love's" bridge part. The latter track was an official song from 2011's "Born This Way."

Changing Skies
Aside from Madonna, the Academy Award-winning singer also took inspiration from other artists like David Bowie.
One of her unreleased tracks titled "Changing Skies" was co-written by Mitchell Wiggs in 2010. The song sounds very similar to David Bowie's style of music.
Nothing On (But the Radio)
In addition to "Earthquake," fans from back in the day knew "Nothing On (But the Radio)" when it first leaked. Written by Lady Gaga, Josh Alexander, and Billy Steinberg around the time of "Born This Way's" recording, the song almost made it to "ARTPOP."
It was reworked by DJ White Shadow as "Heard It On The Radio," but was never released to the public.
The song was then passed onto Paris Monroe in 2016, but her version was never officially dropped until it was picked up by TikTok sensation Addison Rae. The social media star's version was recorded and got leaked in January 2022.
Brooklyn Nights
Lastly, Lady Gaga's "Brooklyn Nights." The track, written by DJ White Shadow, Nick Monson, and Dizo Zisis, was supposed to be a part of "ARTPOP" in 2013.
She initially revealed the track's title on Twitter ahead of the album's release date, that's why many fans were confused when it was not a part of the record's tracklist.
It was reported that "Brooklyn Nights" and "Mary Jane Holland" were competing for the 12th spot on the album's tracklist, but the latter ultimately won.
One of the reasons why it was not released was that Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, wanted to work more on the song.
