Message added by Element,

Please keep discussion in this thread focused on the song. Discussions about Katy Perry's larger scale career/choices, and other artists should NOT be done here. There are plenty of other places to do so on ATRL. Thank you!

Sigh... I had some hope for this song but it just has like... zero flavor to it? I'm disappointed. :doc:

I just think there is so much more she could have done with this song, the memes comparing it to like a generic Love Island background track are very accurate, I'm afraid. She really should have worked with some other producers because, controversy aside, this is not her best.

Like where are the high notes? Where are the runs? Walking on Air dances circles around this song.  :chick3:

You know what's insane? If Dr. Luke had absolutely zero involvement in this project (143), then the reception for both songs ("Woman's World" and "Lifetimes") would be vastly different. Sure, people wouldn't be calling them career highlights of Katy's or anything like that, but I GUARANTEE you people would be able to bop along and hope for them to be successes while admitting they enjoy them to a fair extent, or at least until they officially flopped. But because she chose to work with him again, people are automatically dismissing any positive aspects of the actual music and hating it all from the get-go.

 

I am by no means not saying none of your criticisms are valid, but let's be real: Most of you are shallow and can't tell the difference between a fun, harmless bop and a great song unless the actual numbers are there to influence your opinion.

Eh, I'm sure you guys would like to believe this, but it's not 100% true. For the online girls and gays, sure; and no one denies it because, shocker, we don't support raping people. But the public, which also hates the song and didn't latch onto it, doesn't know all that much, if anything at all about Dr. Luke.

 

The song (WW) objectively is not good. It's just not.

 

These kinds of posts also ignore the context. The issue here is not just that it's produced by Dr. Luke, it's that Katy chose to work with again after having been involved in his very public rape case against a contemporary. That shows a callous disregard for human life and common decency. Some people just don't want to support that.

and my Vanguard hopes grow :jonnycat:

oooooooh i hope she goes full out Katy performance style :jonny3:

 

and i will just never take ppl serious regarding him how they judge Katy's music. Again, these are the same that dragged HIH, CAIL, NRO, etc etc. and are praising them nowww. It's pointless babes!

 

enjoy the music

This sounds like something Bebe Rexha would release but it's very enjoyable

The issue is that the songs are not catchy. It doesn't have some deeper than meaning of life like u are trying to make it seem, otherwise her non dr luke stuff would have been multi #1 smashes

Literally. Liddos love to mention her soundtracks and random collabs. By that logic, Gaga has had several flops too

 

Tbf it's actually hard to get a hit soundtrack song. (Not even Taylor has that)

I find the melodies cute and catchy but the beat is sooo bland and generic. As someone above said, sounds like something Bebe Rexha would do.

This is not the thread for this. Looking at your profile history, it seems like you view more Katy threads than your fave. Are you sure you don't secretly stan Katy? :eli:
