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!

Was there not loads of threads on here about the hype, the met gala likes, the tiktoks asking for katy back, womans world announcement on twitter out doing Fortnight? People called me a conspiracy theorist for saying it was payola'd but it hasn't matched any of this (the debuts and song performance)

 

Capital FM UK gave this its first spin 01:08pm.. coming for month long top 2 residency!

Selena Gomez is arguably one of the most discussed celebs in the world and her music tanked too. Doesn't mean that her celebrity status is payola-ed

I mean it's SO obvious these songs lack personality and umph. 
 

The personality shows in OOTB and TD should be the goal, not JUST working with Luke. Yeah, the songs may have been overall generic but they still felt like Katy Perry. In Prism you could see things start to get a little too generic.
 

This album feels like she was so obsessed with the idea of working with Luke again for another potential hit that she forgot to put personality into the songs. They're all just sooooooo incredibly dull, generic, with the most brain dead lyrics I've seen someone of her caliber release. 
 

It's just kind of shocking her team can see CG, TD, HiH, going viral every week and then release this crap like :dies: 

 

her and her team at capitol are out of touch. I fear she'd need to switch labels and start from scratch. 
 

Maybe lifetimes can make some noise but I don't see it. 

I feel like Katy doesn't have a good understanding of why she had so many hits in the first place. She's excellent at crafting meticulously made pure pop songs (with proper pop song structure) and watering down other genres into her songs to make them accessible to the GP.

 

WW and now this indicate that Katy and her team just think - Katy makes hits! She just needs to follow current trends and people will love it! No, neither of these songs have the charm or magic of her earlier songs. Neither feel like complete songs. And knowing that she IS capable of making proper pop songs and is purposely choosing not to in order to appeal to the tiktok crowd just feels so cringe. If she was going to bring Dr Luke back, it should have been to continue where they left off after Prism, not to desperately chase trends together.

 

I genuinely think Lifetimes would have been an amazing song if she came up with the chorus in 2009-2016. She would have turned this into a proper, full, euphoric dance-pop track, with an actual bridge and second verse, and an explosive climax.

I hope it means that we will get new albums every 2 years now instead of every 4 years now that her seat is taken and she will have more time to record music :jonny:

Buddy, you'll be lucky if you get another album in a decade after this one with the way things are going.

People try to overanalyze everything. 

Katy has an image problem, it's that simple. This song is on the same level of quality as some of her previous singles. If this was released by Sabrina today it would be an easy hit for her.

and TTPD is the same song 31 times and you still call that album good. 

Quality has nothing to do with success.

They're both short af, without proper adlibs, bridges, verses (everything Katy is good at making 💀) clearly in an attempt to appeal to tiktokers.

There are plenty of successful songs with this structure, let's cut this nonsense story please (I'm speaking in general, not specifically to you).

The music video looked so amateurish and i wouldnt spend money too on this song.Also there is a thing called as too much teasing... by the tiem the song dropped everyone basically knew what it sounded like. Katy need a california gurls for 2024 with the world's current music pop  trend like espresso. The song must be insanely catchy from the get go,verse-prechorus and chorus all need to be on the same level.

 

Katy clearly booked that vacation before WW flopped and they had to shoot this video in a hurry to rush L out as the next single :clown:

I don't really get the criticism for the lyrics when this is literally the biggest EDM hit of the decade :rip:

 

I'm good, yeah, I'm feelin' alright
Baby, I'ma have the best fuckin' night of my life
And wherever it takes me, I'm down for the ride
Baby, don't you know I'm good? Yeah, I'm feelin' alright
'Cause I'm good, yeah, I'm feelin' alright
Baby, I'ma have the best fuckin' night of my life
And wherever it takes me, I'm down for the ride
Baby, don't you know I'm good? Yeah, I'm feelin' alright
Don't you know I'm good? Yeah, I'm feelin' alright
Don't you know I'm good? Yeah, I'm feelin' alright
Don't you know I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm good
'Cause I'm good, yeah, I'm feelin' alright
Baby, I'ma have the best fuckin' night of my life
And wherever it takes me, I'm down for the ride
Baby, don't you know I'm good? Yeah, I'm feelin' alright
'Cause I'm good, yeah, I'm feelin' alright
Baby, I'ma have the best fuckin' night of my life
And wherever it takes me, I'm down for the ride
Baby, don't you know I'm good? Yeah, I'm feelin' alright
Don't you know I'm good? Yeah, I'm feelin' alright
Don't you know I'm good? Yeah, I'm feelin' alright

I was at the beach all day and was listening to Lifetimes and it felt so good. 
Don't let the numbers or the critics distract you, enjoy the music if you're a fan cause we're not getting another album anytime soon. 

She wants to have fun this time.
