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!

Katy Perry - "Lifetimes"

Featured Replies

Katy needs to go back to judging on reality shows. This simply isn't working out for her.

    Producer: Dr. Luke   she really wants to bury herself this era... there's no way

  • It's missing the Katy Perry touch that could turn a basic pop song into something unique.    It's giving Eurovision 

  • sorry but sounds like a Moldavia eurovision entry. It's not this song is gonna save something. 

Its clearly her Bionic era. People will realise the greatness of the album 10 years from now when she will be retired living a relaxed life with orlando and kids in Miami. 

what in the europop trash. where's max martin when u need him

I could see this doing alright in your-up. Idk if this would do anything in the US. Shoulda been Nirvana

that's why she should drop both this and Gimme Gimme

send this to Europe and rest of the world, and Gimme Gimme for the US and selected countries

Nirvana would be better as the single to accompany the album (3rd single)

I don't see a way we got both Lifetimes and Nirvana. They kind of serve the same.

to me Lifetimes sounds more radio friendly and easy listening, kinda like Beyonce's Cuff It (Lifetimes) and Alien Superstar (Nirvana)

massive flop

The way her team is choosing the singles is giving Witness/Smile on steroids. They haven't learned **** from those eras. I'm speechless. :deadbanana4:

 

Lifetimes sounds good, better than WW, but it won't do anything in the US. :rip: 

 

They have Nirvana, which could flop but at least she would flop with quality or the trap influenced tracks that would have a chance in the US and they go for Lifetimes, whose production is cute but basic and too European (when was the last time a song like this has done well in the US? lmao):skull:

I feel like some of you are fake fans at this point. 

 

"It sounds dated."

"Dead on arrival."

 

"A flop."

Everyone's been begging for Katy to return to her pop roots. 

 

She puts out an empowerment anthem a la Roar. 

 

Now, she's teasing Walking on Air's sister. 

 

Yet everything she does is a "flop?"

 

Gtfo. 

 

And some of these criticisms are coming from people streaming The Tortured Flops and Bigfoot. 

 

Also, the fact that you guys are surprised that Dr. Luke produced the entire album - did you guys not read the Rolling Stone article?

 

If you want to know why she went back to Dr. Luke over Max ... all you have to do is look at Witness. 

 

Critically critiqued, yet one of her best albums. 

 

The one thing I do lament is that, if Katy chose to work with Dr. Luke again, she should've done it the "right way" (if there is such a thing) by assembling her former team (Dr. Luke, Max, Cirkut and Bonnie McKee). 

 

I understand Dr. Luke has his own team of producers now, but those four were the ones who played the biggest roles in her success. 

Also, the fact that people have moved on from destroying WW and are now destroying Lifetimes ... lmao ... if y'all really hate something so much, just move on?

 

I can't imagine spending so much energy on something I don't like. 

 

GET A JOB. STAY AWAY FROM HER. :khalyan:

I think this song will end up being really short like 2 minutes

I sure hope not… I need it to be at least 3 minutes long. I do fear that this album is going to have a lot of 2:30-3:00 songs though….

The last thing I'll say ... for now ... is that I see a lot of people saying they want Katy to release Gimme Gimme as the next single. 

 

But if Katy were to release that song as the second single, I bet those very same people would say, "This is dated. She hasn't evolved. It's the Dollar Tree's version of Dark Horse. Trap is so 2000-late." 

 

Katy truly can't win with this fanbase. 

 

Out of the snippets we've heard, the ones that should be considered for the next single are Lifetimes, Nirvana or Gorgeous. 

 

I would stay away from Gimme Gimme and the Crystal Waters sample, which I was excited about but is too trappy influenced (it's kinda giving Kim Petras' Alone in a sense).

Nah i'm sorry this is so Katy Perry but 2024! I looooove this! Immediately better than anything she's done since PRISM (okay maybe Never Really Over aside). 

 

Love! Love! Love! 

 

She better have a video for this and just rush release it! 

The Lifetimes snippet alone sounds a million times better than Never Really Over, so people who think it sounds like "trash" need to grab several Q-tips.

Your fave's entire discography is in the red on Metacritic, so the fact that you think you have any room to talk about opinions on music is beyond laughable. Sit your (panned) ass down.

 

OT: Another dated and atrocious song that's going to bomb into oblivion. 

Honey, problems with hearing, problem with vision. Or maybe go back to the kindergarden to learn about those colors.

 

OT: Issa bop.

You're so triggered hunny. This is a forum, everyone is allowed to have an opinion on songs. Nobody is destroying anything, some will like her new songs and some won't.

Deep down I wish that after everything Katy is risking and putting on the line for working with him, she would have gotten better material out of it.

Don't you dare disrespect Bionic like that again... Chile, Birds of Prey alone is beyond everything we've heard so far.

And we will continue until she drops Dr. Luke

What's not clicking?

Um, idk, just move on and stop being a fan if it bothers you so much. 

 

My unsolicited opinion on the whole Dr. Luke situation is this:
 

Everyone is entitled to their own experience. 

 

Kesha has hers. 

 

Katy has hers. 

 

Katy obviously feels comfortable working with Dr. Luke because she went back to working with him, so they obviously have a positive working relationship. 

 

And that's that. 

 

It's not going to change. 

 

Rolling Stone wrote about Katy hand picking Dr. Luke to produce her album. 

 

Katy left American Idol hoping this would be a major comeback for her. 

 

So this is all very disappointing because, although I understand how some fans are not pleased with Dr. Luke's involvement, some of you guys are becoming very hateful and trashing everything she does when the music is nowhere near as bad as you claim it to be.

Ofc everyone's allowed to have an opinion. 

 

But when I see the same people shitting on Katy on a Katy forum ... no matter what she drops ... it becomes sus at that point. 

 

Are you really a fan, or are you a Little Monster?

Sure, some people hated her guts since forever and now this gave them the perfect excuse to throw her under the bus cause it's become "socially acceptable" in stan circles. Which kinda sucks.

In my case I was a massive fan of hers for a couple of years, I think her voice is perfect for pop music and she's such an icon... so everything about this era makes me sad. BUT... the visuals are a serve and she seems happy, willing to be out there and do the work and proud of her album so let's see how things go for her.
