The singer, who was due to release a limited edition of the single to raise money for gay rights, has now scrapped the plan, Billboard reports.

Gaga has said she does not feel comfortable with the partnership with US retailer Target after they made political donations to anti-gay candidate Tom Emmer.

A rep for Lady Gaga told E! Online: "Lady Gaga and Target came to a mutual decision to end their overall exclusive partnership a few weeks ago."

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga has said she doesn’t think she can match the success of her collaboration with Beyonce on the single ‘Telephone’.
