"Die with a Smile" is a song by American singer-songwriters Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. It was released on August 16, 2024, through Interscope Records. Initially intended to be a standalone single, the song was later revealed to be included on Gaga's upcoming eighth studio album, Mayhem (2025). Gaga and Mars wrote and produced the track alongside Dernst "D'Mile" Emile II and Andrew Watt while James Fauntleroy provided additional songwriting. The collaboration was a result of Mars inviting Gaga to his studio where he had been working on new music. He presented the track in progress to her and the duo finished writing and recording the song the same day. In the song, Gaga and Mars express a powerful longing to be with a loved one, highlighting the urgency and depth of their love in the face of uncertainty and potential endings.

Musically, the soft rock-leaning track has been compared to Gaga's 2016 album Joanne and her 2018 release, "Shallow" from the A Star Is Born soundtrack, and Mars' work with Anderson .Paak as part of the Silk Sonic project. An accompanying music video directed by Mars and Daniel Ramos showing both singers performing the song on a retro stage set was released simultaneously alongside the track. Music critics lauded both singers' vocals and chemistry. It charted at number one on the Billboard Global 200 as well as in Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Luxembourg, Malaysia, the Middle East and North Africa, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, the Philippines, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States. "Die with a Smile" has been nominated for Song of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards.
