MTV announced that Lady Gaga will premiere her newest video and sit down with MTV News this Thursday, August 18 for "MTV First: Lady Gaga."

The video "Yo� and I" is the fourth from her megahit "Born This Way" CD.

But Gaga jumped the gun, releasing the video earlier today on the Internet and YouTube.

Prior to releasing it, Gaga sent out three separate Tweets that read: "F***. THURS. DAY."

Love me, love my video

She had promised to release the video with her 1,000th Tweet.

With that Tweet she linked to her video with the following message to her little monsters: "You must love all + every part of me, as must I, for this complex + incomprehensible force to be true."

Gaga also promises her little monsters that she'll be making a big announcement in the interview that will be conducted by Sway Calloway.

According to the MTV press release, "After the video premieres at 7:49 p.m. ET on MTV and Logo, it will appear on mtvU, MTV Hits and Tr3s at 8 p.m. on Thursday.

And immediately following the on-air portion, Gaga's interview and fan Q&A will stream live on MTV.com."

Meet Yuyi

Lady Gaga has some news for all her Little Monsters. The Mother Monster herself will sit down with MTV News and Sway Calloway on Thursday night (August 18) during "MTV First: Lady Gaga" to premiere her highly anticipated music video for "Yo� and I." And during her live interview, she's also set to make another big announcement.

After the video premieres at 7:49 p.m. ET on MTV and Logo, it will appear on mtvU, MTV Hits and Tr3s at 8 p.m. on Thursday. And immediately following the on-air portion, Gaga's interview and fan Q&A will stream live on MTV.com.

The video features Gaga in various personalities, including a girl in a white dress in a corn field and a mermaid (she calls Yuyi) in a bathtub. She is also seen kissing a drag king on a piano, hanging with a a very hot man while she's in the bathtub and getting married.

Gaga shot the video in Nebraska last month and explained that it is about taking a journey to win back the one you love. "The [video is about the] idea that when you're away from someone you love, it's torture," she said. "I knew I wanted the video to be about me sprinting back and walking hundreds of thousands of miles to get him back."
