And no, I'm not disappointed, I love the sound of the snippet and unlike you, I prefer to wait before judging. No trolling, no lies. Just my personal opinion as we all do here. The disappointment and fuss bit does not refer exclusively to you, there's backlash here, on her insta, and all over TikTok. And let's not speak about the Shein edition Arca-esque cover.
Galah Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Just now, aotwbys said: Honestly, I'm seriously baffled at how negatively tiktok is reacting to just ten seconds of a snippet. Maybe I'm overanalyzing it, but it's hard to understand why such a short clip is generating so much negativity. I think the leaked song is a great track, but the marketing strategy seems off. When I compare it to the songs that Gen Z keeps talking about from her, like NRO, HIH, Feels, and TD, this one seems like it's marketed a bit too sexy. Maybe there's a disconnect between her image and what the current audience is expecting. I have this random hope that she can turn this around by incorporating it into a Barbie-themed performance sometime, which could appeal to people even though it doesn't match the era. It's a potential way to shift the narrative from criticism to positive engagement. You underestimate how much people love jumping on a hate bandwagon ijbol. At least three fandoms have been frothing at the mouth waiting for any excuse to drag Katy and this snippet has been the perfect catalyst for that. Plus Kats are notoriously fickle and critical of Katy and TikTokkers love regurgitating whatever they see on their "For You" pages in order to engagement farm for easy views and likes. It's a perfect storm. 3
edutada Posted June 19 Posted June 19 She did this with herself sorry, there's no escuses for realeasing lyrics like this after Witness.
halcyonday Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Maybe in the end the nostalgia trend for her did more bad than good. The kids and twinks thought about the pink bubble where Katy serves these instant classics, when for years now she's been serving these corny songs exactly like this one. I don't mind it that much because I love her vocals and got used to the lyrics being a mess since Witness, but looks like people completely erased what we learned about her in the last 2 albums. It could've been great for her if she came back with a strong, non-cringy lead song that doesn't alienate the target audience, but she's a 40 years old soccer mom, a boomer, out of touch with the pop culture and it's okay too. I'm glad she's trying this last time to have a big pop era, cause after the bullying she got during Witness, I don't think she will want to try again after the backlash this era will give her. 3

The tide can turn against her anytime with just the blink of an eye on tiktok, which is precisely why slow rollouts are such a pain.

I was thinking about CG first verse, they would make fun about It too… Edited June 19 by edutada
606 Posted June 19 Posted June 19 I was leaning towards the leak being Ai, as the lyrics are so dire, but I've come round to thinking that as it's the Kim Petras crew, they've gone from a song all about dick, to a song all about what's listed in a thesaurus under woman.
Ava Max Posted June 19 Posted June 19 The leak is starting to get removed from Twitter. It was In this tweet before. 2

MasterExpose Posted June 19 Posted June 19 (edited) A lot could've been avoided if they weren't such idiots and surprise released it. But again in an era where people are into songs like Espresso, releasing whatever this it's not the most smart move. No body is here for this type of sound in 2024 and on top of this name it Woman's World Edited June 19 by MasterExpose
edutada Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Bad virals still virals after all Not comparing at all but Paint The Down Red turn out to be a smash 'cause of the viral comparing with doja releasing "different stuff" and sounding the same 1
L1veLaughL0ve Posted June 19 Posted June 19 The only way this song can be saved is if she releases the visuals along with the song. The 1 day wait will be fatal. If the visuals gag then people may look past the terrible music.
gloamingtheplain Posted June 19 Posted June 19 It's actually kind of crazy that Harleys In Hawaii keeps going viral over and over and shows people want a more mature sound from her; and she thinks "oh, I'll go and release a dated pop song I could have released 11 years ago" 2 2
LionH3art Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Jeez everyone is so dramatic just over a snippet, just wait till July 11 and then decide whether you like the song or not. This is getting pathetic. 1

halcyonday Posted June 19 Posted June 19 well, the leak was real after all, hopefully no one remembers that the fandom thought it was all AI cuz.... the draggings
L1veLaughL0ve Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Her team are lying about the snippets being fake because obviously they can't admit to it being real. Use your brain people. This would've been a great promo single but choosing this song as a lead is insane. No radio is going to play this…
JayJay Posted June 19 Posted June 19 The Twitter posts sharing the leak are being taken down for copyright guys ☠️☠️☠️

aotwbys Posted June 19 Posted June 19 To be fair, if she worked with Charlie Puth again, it's kind of a coin flip. There's a 50/50 chance it could turn out like Harleys in Hawaii or like Small Talk
TOKYO. Posted June 19 Posted June 19 I told yall it was just the leaked song… the chorus is so boring and monotone. Same as the verses… see yall at the second single. Not her dropping a small talk b4 NRO
popmusicisdead Posted June 19 Posted June 19 this entire thing is just people were genuinely looking forward to her comeback. she had one job! 1 2
