On 23 January 2013, Zedd revealed to MTV News that there was still "a lot of work" to do on the album; "We've been working on it for over a year now. There's still a lot of work left, so we're definitely gonna work on this project for the next month."

Based on Lady Gaga's comments, Artpop's title seemingly has less to do with arty pop music and more to do with popular artworks, or at least the photos that fill the internet. "You're an Artpop generation," Gaga wrote to her fans. "You inspired me to create something that communicated with images, because you do, you communicate with me and each other with .gifs and pictures, and artwork, graphics all day, 24/7 … I'm hoping you will all continue to grow together and stay connected through your creativity."

She constituted, "It will be released as an iPad, iPhone, mobile and computer compatible application that is completely interactive with chats, films for every song, extra music, content, Gaga-inspired games, fashion updates, magazines, and more still in the works!" In November 2012, Gaga's manager, Troy Carter, confirmed that the album would be launched through a paid-for app and promoted via littlemonsters.com.
