Jackson Posted July 12 Posted July 12 I think there's crack in this song. Put it on repeat and watch the hate evaporate out of your body. Y'all are missing out on a bop remember acceptance is the key to be truly FREE 9 1

We rather hear about "******* b*tches" "we *******" etc. but about something so needed, especially in era we live, as self love and empowerment? Im not saying it is executed well in this case, but there is significant rise of depressions, suicides and addition after Covid that if song like this makes someone feel better, there is nothing more needed Empowerment is corny. And the song doesn't even do empowerment well. Look at flowers and look at this mess of a song, for example.... 1
Ramcoro Posted July 12 Posted July 12 It's doing better than the Ice Spice song despite DIF being higher on NMF. 1

mathekr Posted July 12 Posted July 12 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Badgalbriel said: Also, the theme of the song. Katy, what's the idea behind releasing an empowerment anthem in f-ing 2024? No one likes those anymore. We're not in 2014. I honestly don't think it's the theme of the song. That motif sure is overdone and outdated, but a female empowerment anthem could fly in 2024 if it wasn't so surface level and clouded by the hypocrisis of its existence like this one. It's so frustrating how she threw all of the goodwill she had out of the window with this. Edited July 12 by mathekr

Look at flowers and look at this mess of a song, for example.... It's her flavor/her take on it. It's just a song about being happy being a woman. It's not that deep. It's not trying to be "woke." 3
Badgalbriel Posted July 12 Posted July 12 2 months ago I was so sure she was going smti slay, because of all the goodwill on the internet. She really f-ed it up. 2

Look at flowers and look at this mess of a song, for example.... "Empowerment is corny" ? ...well that is very sad opinion, as a clinical psychologist empowerment is needed, not corny, especially for younger generation who is growing without proper role models Also, I stated I dont think it is executed well in case of WW (especially the video, is anything but empowering) Edited July 12 by mike_int 3
TheseThingsHappen Posted July 12 Posted July 12 (edited) I really don't understand how she fumbled the bag on her comeback like this. She's really not smart. Edited July 12 by TheseThingsHappen

She's happy being a woman and the way she shows that is having a rapist produce it? Like, how does she not see the issue???? And again, risk working with Luke for THIS? 3 3
Miles. Posted July 12 Posted July 12 This reminds me so much of Shania's She's Not Just A Pretty Face, thematically. Sadly it isn't executed nearly as well.

This song doesn't have any of the essence that songs from teenage dream had, it's basic and uninspired. This is an example of a Teenage Dream type song in 2024 (ignoring the weak vocals), not Woman's World.
lauvender Posted July 12 Posted July 12 (edited) in a perfect world/another reality she would've released this instead of Witness in 2016 after Hillary Clinton became president and it would've smashed. i hope it does well, it sounds like it's from another time though. like the 2010's, it's more of the Katy Perry sound we all know and love though. this can become *the* anthem if Kamala Harris is nominated and wins this years US election tho 😏 don't wanna jinx it 😩 Edited July 12 by lauvender

And then everyone switched. I dont think WW will smash like flowers though. 1
goldstargay Posted July 12 Posted July 12 (edited) She shoulda just re-released Roulette as the lead for this, not like anybody heard it the first time. Edited July 12 by goldstargay 2 1 1

corotinho Posted July 12 Posted July 12 1 hour ago, xtino said: Defying all sense of taste, the pop singer's comeback single is too dispiriting to even approach camp. It's abysmal. There is nobody better at committing to the bit than Katy Perry. When singing in Simlish, she puts her whole diamond into it. Her Vegas residency, launched in 2021 during the absolute nadir of her career, featured an extended setpiece in which she interacted with a giant toilet. Sometimes, the universe completes the bit for her: "The One That Got Away" was the only single from her gargantuan 2010 album Teenage Dream that didn't reach No. 1 on the Hot 100. She is pop music's Jenna Maroney, meeting every challenge with a vacant stare and nothing less than 150% commitment. This is Perry's greatest strength as well as her fatal flaw. When she half-asses something, you can really tell: Rhyming "trouble" with "bubble" would be a slam-dunk on a track about a sexy foam party, but Katy wasted it on a reggae song about the dangers of technology, or whatever. But when it comes to politics, Perry just seems bored, so much so that a comeback single titled "Woman's World" seems like a foregone conclusion. And yet, when she describes women as "so intelligent," she sings it in this halting, unintentionally patronizing rhythm that leaves you no choice but to assume she's being sarcastic. Now that's a good bit. With its pulsating synths and steamroller chorus, "Woman's World" is clearly modeled on Lady Gaga's 2020 single "Stupid Love," a brazen return to form that successfully launched Gaga into the second act of her career. There seems to have been a miscalculation, though: "Stupid Love" worked not because of its sound but because it took the core elements of Gaga's music—slightly nonsensical lyrics, acid-trip concept, a general struggle with vowels—and turned them up to 11. It's mystifying why Perry would have chosen to mount her comeback with a vaguely political song—you just get the sense that she just doesn't really like or care about this stuff. Even if "Woman's World" didn't sound like its author had to have feminism explained to her by the top half of the first page of Google, its message of empowerment would have rang false, simply because it was co-written and co-produced by Dr. Luke, the producer Keshaaccused, in a since-dismissed lawsuit, of sexual assault and emotional abuse—allegations he denied. It's sincerely twisted, if unsurprising—I generally believe you have to be at least be something of an amoral hypocrite to be a celebrity or pop star, and fair play to those willing to do it—but it also reveals "Woman's World" to be even more of a monumental catastrophe: If Perry was willing to cop the built-in bad press of making a song about women's lib with an alleged abuser, shouldn't the song at least be a banger? Instead, it's unfathomably tepid, irritating at best. In the immortal words of Sister Catherine Rose Holzman, uttered moments before she died: "Katy Perry, please stop." the dragging she's getting is just 💀😭 I told you all in the yesterday's thread... if this song turns into a flop, katycats should logoff cause it's gonna be a hard time. All the bad Dr. Luke press only to release a flop song of course would turn into hate against her 1

tarttastic Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Her store refunded my Woman's World vinyl promptly which is appreciated. It's a shame she sabotaged the launch of what could have been a triumphant era BUT I'm lowkey obsessed with all the snippets. Especially Lifetime. I have hope for the album
365 Posted July 12 Posted July 12 I am actually still baffled she chose to work with Dr Luke, did she not know what the reaction would be? 1
