Released as the first single post Witness era, it peaked at #15 on the Hot 100 

 

The label killed it in favor of "Small Talk" 

 

It managed to cross over 600M on Spotify and is certified Platinum in the US and 4x platinum in Australia

 

 

 

A true moment

 

One of her best songs

Her best song 

Her #Beautiful: No. 15 peaking comeback single, which should have been a huge number-one.

 

 

Wasn't NRO the end of the feud with Taylor?

there was an audio of Taylor singing the song and she also added it to her playlist 

A bop! Should've been a top 10 hit.

 

Also isn't this song eligible for 3x platinum? I remember chart data tweeting a while ago that it accumulated 2.5M units in the US

One of her best songs.

Easily Top 3 at her best songs

The hit that got away. Maybe if she had released this now it would be a bigger hit

 

Speaking of hits that got away, stream Harleys in Hawaii as well!

Omg Katy Perry??? 
 

we talk about this woman in 2024? Omg thats such a great thing. I NEVER REALLY heard about her and her music for the last 10 years. She made clown music for a while but seeing her being talked and having some small kind of success feels very good. She had a bop or two. Hopefuy she can earn money again 

 

Spoiler

 

I remember when this sparked hope among Katy fans that perhaps it was not really over yet. But here we are in 2024 and we all know what has happened since.

A MEGA bop 

 

Could have been her actual mainstream COMEBACK moment commercially if it wasn't prematurely killed on the radio in favor of 'Small Talk' (idk wtf her team was thinking), but it did so well nonetheless and it marked a new beginning after the Witness-era hate-train and it made her goodwill rebound a bit. 

Shoulda been top 10 and hopefully it gets a boost from tiktok to hit 1 billion.

5 years of pop perfection.  The real lead single of "Smile".

the top song on my apple music replays from 2019-21 

Ill never forget the day it dropped and I was obsessed with it

Oh, this mega bop, I remember listening to it, and say oh we are so BACK! Great and interesting pop song, one my most played that year for sure. It deserved more, but at the same time, I hoped the reception was better.

Not having an album (a good one) ready to drop after this remains her biggest mistake. NRO -> HIH could've done wonders for her.

 

The #Beautiful comparison is fitting since both wasted their hype.

#Beautiful deserves to have a Sure Thing resurgence.

It has a special place in my heart 

Her best song in the last 5 years and perhaps her best song since the Teenage Dream era at that.  Deserved so much more than it got though.

One of her best  

Legendary song
