Lady Gaga says ARTPOP Act II campaign has inspired a "tremendous warmth in my heart"

Lady Gaga has responded to the ARTPOP Act II campaign following a petition and a hashtag to get people to buy the original album on iTunes, saying it's inspired a "tremendous warmth in my heart".

Earlier this month DJ White Shadow, who produced Lady Gaga's 2013 album ARTPOP, revealed he sent a text to Lady Gaga after a petition for Gaga to release ARTPOP Act II was launched, which has now passed over 40,000 signatures.

ARTPOP was released in 2013 as the follow up to Gaga's 2011 album Born This Way, and earlier this month a petition was launched for the release of ARTPOP Act II, after DJ White Shadow told a fan to "petition Gaga on that one" after being asked if ARTPOP Act II will ever be released.

Fans have also been urging people to buy ARTPOP on iTunes as another way of petitioning for Gaga to release ARTPOP Act II, which has since gained a response from Gaga herself.

Gaga wrote on Twitter earlier today (13 April), "The petition to #buyARTPOPoniTunes for a volume II has inspired such a tremendous warmth in my heart. Making this album was like heart surgery, I was desperate, in pain, and poured my heart into electronic music that slammed harder than any drug I could find."

In a second tweet she added, "I fell apart after I released this album. Thank you for celebrating something that once felt like destruction. We always believed it was ahead of its time. Years later turns out, sometimes, artists know. And so do little monsters. Paws up."
