[Daddy]

Just watched the video so I can listen to the song without giving her an actual stream. It's as bad as we thought and then some...

Radical Optimism had hits and acclaim, what will Katy have this era?

Luke is literally giving her payback for ditching him during witness and smile…

Honestly, if this is true, he's shooting himself in the foot and it's giving him awful publicity. If Katy owns up to her mistake and never works with him again after this album, many of us will find it in our hearts to look to the other side and wish her well.

to be fair sis, so did you, and you seemed quite excited at the prospect...

 

 

I hoped the poor decision would at least grant her a hit but she completely missed the mark. i also undermined the backlash it would bring. it was a bad choice

It's definitely a weak song, but tbh I started thinking how it reminds me of "Break My Soul" and pondered exactly how Beyonce got such universal acclaim with also a dated 2016 sounding Dance-Pop empowerment song as her comeback single 

 

"Break My Soul" was the most acclaimed song of 2022 period and yet this is a disaster on the ears to the same critics  This song unironically once again shows how useless and agenda driven critics are honestly 

ATRL doesn't know the definition of "dated" because BMS came out exactly during the dance/house revival.

 

There is no agenda. Katy is attempting to recreate her own Future Nostalgia/Chromatica/Renaissance etc. 3-4 years late. She actually served something not only dated on arrival but objectively bad and out-of-touch. BMS is a fun dance song, meanwhile WW is an attempted feminist anthem produced by someone accused of sexual assault against multiple women.

[FENTY.]

She should have given us another Harleys in Hawaii. I would STAN. Oh well…

[Rino]

now I kinda want Kesha to get a little petty and make a post where she's bopping to Stupid Love. it would set the stan twitter on fire

the way she thought black hair and dr puke back on her side would be enough to get back to the top…

 

sorry but i would be lying to myself if i didnt say everything about this song sucks. the negative publicity, the video, the poor reception. shes becoming a even bigger laughing stock than during the smile era. the album might save her but this song was just a horrible introduction into this new era. its so tonedeaf.

TBF, her fans have been telling her this for a decade.  

 

[Laura Palmer]

And they're right! 

[americanlife]

this thread is gonna be the next 2017 Kworb CTTR thread 

 

[305]

LMFAOOOOO

This is what you get for working with a rapist, oh Kesha you WON

[WaterDiamonds]

The way Katy made sure this song was the most astonishingly terrible song in pop history to scare her fellow artists, just so they never hire Dr Luke as their producer... and all to support her friend Kesha!

 

Katy is so kind

[MasterExpose]

She deserves it for messing up the easiest come back a pop girl could have. People handled it to her in silver plate and she ****** it up, the acoustic album would've been way better if you take in account what people are listening now.

 

Delusional to think the Luke drama wouldn't affect this project too.

[Colmillo]

Well the song isn't anything special, the lyrics are mediocre, the production is basic and sounds straight out of the 2010s, the melody isn't catchy enough, and on top of all of that she's working with a r@p1st on a song about Woman Empowerment  I feel like the critics and the general public wouldn't be so hard on her if she didn't work with Dr. Puke, so she really brought this upon herself.

[Bewitched]

"It's a woman's world and you're lucky to be living in it," Katy Perry insists in "Woman's World," a song with six writers (among them Lukas Gottwald, a.k.a. Dr. Luke, who was behind her blockbuster album "Teenage Dream" before his extended legal battle with Kesha). "Sexy, confident, so intelligent, she is heaven-sent," Perry sings. "So soft, so strong." With echoes of Madonna's 1990s electro-pop, the praise continues throughout this synthesizer-pumped, positive-vibes affirmation of the obvious. It's too bad the overblown video clip — including a postapocalyptic sequence dotted with social media influencers — doesn't live up to the euphoric sound.

Her score of 73 will end up being 70 points higher than what Katy will get once 143 is released!

Katy's red score won't make that album acclaimed!

The MC thread on the album's release week will be fun as well.

The Kats spent a month defending a rapist and attacking a rape survivor all for it to backfire.
