single Katy Perry - "Lifetimes"

[Europe]

This is so disappointing.  It's not offensively bad like Woman's World, but it feels like a faceless EDM collab from 2015.  I'm shocked by how bad Luke's production has been with these singles.

 

Maybe she needs to call Zedd, he's the only one who's done anything positive for her in the last five years  

I really do not understand why didn't Luke gave her a song on the level of Kim's Claws, Icy, Sweet Spot or King Of Hearts. If she came with something like that as the lead everyone would be bowing down to her.

the way i'm listening to woman's world more than this already dddd

 

the repetitive chorus being the entire song doesn't help the replay value for me 

I'd rather listen to the AI version of WW, that guitar bridge clears the entirety of the actual song.

 

While I do like Lifetimes and it is a fun bop, I agree that it is repetitive and am disappointed that the song doesn't have much to offer apart from what was teased. The sole verse is weak, and there was no bridge to really seal the deal. This era of Katy Perry lacks the polish that she had even in her Smile era. I blame you-know-who for this.

 

I hope there are some hidden gems in the album, but I am losing hype for this era. Please let Nirvana be good!

I believe this could potentially do well in the UK - it's radio candy and, with the right radio play and TikTok promo, it has the potential to become a top 10 hit for her here. To be honest, this is something the GP in Europe and radio would eat up

Lifetimes is definitely a promo single, Katy used it to distract people from Woman's World controversy. Oh, her mind!

 

Next single: I'm His, He's Mine (if she's using that video she already shooted)

It needs to be Gimme Gimme.

also we didn't get the vinyl with Lifetimes which makes me think it wasn't planned…

But she shooted I'm His He's Mine music video, so I don't think it will happen. Maybe Gimme Gimme could be a single after the album release if it sticks with people.

These singles are made of teflon -- ain't nothin gonna stick to the charts.  She sold her integrity a long time ago and this is what an expired manufactured pop star looks like.

There's no reason to release more songs, we already have two of them and the album has only 11 tracks in total. 
They should just make Lifetimes an official single, send it to radio and give it more playlist exposure.

i'm slowly getting addicted to this

I wish this one had an extended version. The lyrics being simplistic and repetitive is the point, but it still lacks a little personality. If she could release a version with a second verse and more adlibs in the final chorus, it would be on par with the heavenly bop Walking On Air. It has so much potential to be excellent but right now, it's WoA's boring sister.

 

Dua's Anything for Love has this same issue.

This fan mash up is better than the actual song imo:

 

[Sad Beautiful Tragic]

I know you feel it

Can you believe it?

I'm gonna love you 'til the end and then repeat it

Wow I'm eating the words of my last comment, Lifetimes spread throughout me like an infection and I'm obsessed. It's such a fun song!!!

Like the sun is always rising

Like the stars are in the sky
 

You and I will find each othahhhh

In every sin-gle LIFE


BABY , you and me for INFINITY

My etеrnity (My eternity)
BABY, YOU AND ME FOR INFINITY!
My еternity (My eternity)

 

 

 

THE VERSE + beat drop still has me in a chokehold

[MasterExpose]

Lifeless was the worst pick and always been (after IHHM) Nirvana was the right choice  all along 

This being her favorite song should've been a red flag and surely she used all the gays getting wet from a chorus that turned out to be the whole song as an excuse to release it. Biggsest catfish ever

Because Kim wrote those songs. Kim's work with Luke is good because she knows how to write a good pop hook and he knows how to compliment her skills. Katy probably isn't as good of a writer so we're getting something more stale and I don't mean this as shade. Weren't Katy's biggest hits co-written by Bonnie McKee? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Bonnie is nowhere to be found on I Kissed A Girl, Hot N Cold, Firework, E.T., and Dark Horse.

at least one song will be pushed hard on spotify this era right? even smile had 2 songs (or 3?) on TTH 

 

i think putting gimme gimme on TTH during album release week would be smart
