In the new movie, Joker begins an intense relationship with Harley Quinn, played by Gaga.

3.While the singer hasn't revealed details about the tracks, several of the songs seem like they might be covers. For example, in the Joker: Folie à Deux trailer, Gaga as Harley Quinn sings "Get Happy" by Judy Garland, and a song of the same name is on the Harlequin soundtrack.

4. An eagle-eyed fan noticed several Easter eggs to Gaga's career on the cover of the exclusive vinyl, which shows the singer stretching out on a mattress in an unkempt room. You can see the full cover here.

5.While Gaga hadn't publicly spoken about Harlequin until Tuesday, it might be the surprise project she told Vogue earlier this month that she was working on.

6.Vogue also noted that the singer was working on her seventh solo album, which is being referred to by fans as LG7. The publication reported LG7's first single would be released in October, meaning another Gaga record is likely imminent.

7.As a result, Harlequin is being referred to online as LG6.5. According to Billboard, fans recently started to notice billboards that read "LG 6.5" or "LG Six.Five" in New York and Los Angeles. To be clear, Gaga hasn't confirmed that Harlequin is LG6.5.
