ARTPOP (Act II) is the unreleased follow-up to Lady Gaga's fourth studio album, ARTPOP. Gaga first introduced the album as 'ACT TWO' during a Twitter Q/A[1]. The album includes production by DJ White Shadow, Madeon, Zedd, will.i.am and Gaga herself.
Background
Act II is comprised of content Gaga wanted to include on the album, ARTPOP, but could not due to time constraints or other limiting factors - so it was recorded, written, and produced during the same time ARTPOP was.
Tracks
Any track titles confirmed by Gaga through her twitter from 2012-2013 could be on Act II, but since no official release was planned, no official tracklist exists.

On DJ White Shadow's Instagram (@iamdjws), he has possibly teased the arrival of ARTPOP Act II. After following an emotional post of him crying, he continues with these words.
So let’s continue with the emotional shit. 4 years ago I put out a record called ARTPOP with @ladygaga. I could write a book about it, maybe one day I will. I lost a best friend and manager, LG lost her entire support team, and we were all alone. I am so grateful for this record because it taught me a lot. I made some friends that have changed my life forever in the halls where this record was recorded, whom I love so incredibly deeply. For all her flaws, strangeness and beauty, I thank you ARTPOP for the lessons learned and the gifts you gave. Happy 4th Birthday. I can’t wait to introduce you to your little sister. #LG6
Unfortunately, DJ White Shadow broke the news that it would be all new songs and no mention of ARTPOP Act II.
