I wanna know the truth even if it hurts hurts me 

Where can I find the bonus tracks ? Has anyone heard them other than has a heart ?

Fun. Clubby.

Artificial is so Dark Horse / E.T. coded 

 

No one talking about how it's the best on the album 

For real!! People saying "she failed to recreate E.T." 

 

Uhh... what? She got pretty damn close!

I feel like 'TRUTH' could be about how even when you're in love and having fun, sometimes the past creeps up on you and makes you wonder about how it all went down. The song could be desiring the truth behind the relationship between the singer & the ex guy and what truly caused the split.

I like this interpretation! If we're going with the concept that tracks 1-4 are like a before-party which then evolves into the proper party on tracks 5-8 then you're right, TRUTH wouldn't be out of place in the moodier after-party once the high energy has gone down!

I just think she liked the song that much and decided to put it there because yeah, as you mentioned thematically it doesn't fit much of the vibe of the album since it ends with uncertainty from her side.

More realistic approach, this also could have been the case. I'm glad she decided to put it on the album cause it's such a gem!
Also, hey there in Raccoon City! I've personally been playing a lot of RE4 lately 

Woman's World kinda grew on me.

If it had better lyrics it would be a great song.

It's honestly better with headphones on.

Yeah, All The Love is a really good song, not all hope is lost

It's so emotional, and personal to her. Idk why people said the songs are not relatable when Wonder and ATL are right there

I don't like the mindset that these songs were supposed to REcreate anything in the first place. Kind of a reductive lens to view new music through

Gonna spin this album again at the gym tonight 

 

I think there was more effort put into the artworks than the quality of the music, there's actually almost little to complete lack of substance to this. You can tell they just had songs sent to her which she then picked from to work on and I'm willing to bet the collabs aren't even genuine collabs, just songs those artists had put away that she wanted so they kept the original vocalist for parts and passed them off as "collabs". 

All The Love is the best song on the album. I could have been on PRISM and become a classic!

i'm so sawry but the 1-2-3 slap of nirvana-artificial-truth is kinda iconic 

Some of y'all aren't gonna catch the hits on this

Kind of a 1-2-3-4-5 punch from Lifetimes to Truth

 

Artificial is very topical/sorta the them of the album? (AI generated?)

 

They shoulda pushed it as a single...

Top 3: Nirvana, Gorgeous, All The Love 

Was SG Lewis too busy or...?

TRUTH the career highlight that you are

I hope this won't get completely drowned out in the sea of replies here, I've been dying to ask this all day and I think it's an interesting question to raise regarding 143's tracklist:

 

Narratively speaking, why do you guys think Katy decided to put TRUTH on the album? As a slower, relatively dark song about confronting potential infidelity, it really stands out among all the songs celebrating love and happiness. It honestly reminds me of the Witness era a lot.

I'm really curious what thought process stands behind this decision. She could have put any of the bonus tracks in TRUTH's spot and yet she didn't 🤔  I mean I love the song, it's in my top 2, but I can't see how it fits 143's theme

I see what you are saying. Now that I think of it, it is a different. Sonically, it fits very well. It could be on there for a variety of reasons. 

 

1. Maybe that's her "chameleon" moment.
   1. She's always had tracks not fit the overall "theme"
2.  Maybe she wants to end on a positive note. It's not explicitly about cheating. Maybe she has hope...
3. The whole album is about love. Maybe this (and artificial) show that love is not perfect and you have to work through things. 

Just my initial thoughts. 

The artistic degrowth is real.
