It's a nice song but it's not unique to Katy. It could be sung by anyone. It's not going to make people want to buy the album 

Imo, this one feels totally hers - especially how she sings "life." Gives me The One That Got Away vibes. But idk maybe that's just how I'm hearing it lol

I think this is definitely the best single she could've released as the WW follow up (something kinda generic and not too polarizing like say gimme gimme or IHHM could be) 

 

I do think she should've released the song this week and the video the next. I also think tacking on nirvana is a good idea. Gives her more of a chance for a runaway hit like with heartless / blinding lights

No noise is better than making noise for all the wrong reasons possible.
First win of the 143 era is coming!

This isn't produced by the same dude is it? Wasn't that the whole reason for the bad reception to WW? Maybe she should've released something without him on the credits to help her image out a bit

Yeah Dr Luke produced this and the whole album. Normally this is a song that would do well, but it'll be interesting to see if the GP reject it just for the names Katy and Luke 

This would have been a better choice as lead single (or Nirvana). Lets pretend that WW never existed!

They'll cancel the album and melt the vinyl for Billie Eilish's next album.

Vaughn Oliver

Which songs did he produce?

 

I don't mind if this flops tbh, WW is horrible at least this is a generic bop. It will be on my playlists.

kinda living for this? I'm finally feeling confident about this

I hope Katy's team books the Howard Stern Show in September for the album launch promo.

 

She first did his show for her debut era. A long length in-depth interview with Howard could earn her more favor in the public eye.

 

Howard Stern is bottom of the barrel sexist garbage. He already had less clout in 2008 than he had in the 90's and he is completely irrelevant by now. But even if he wasn't, none of our girls should go anywhere near him.

That man is a disgusting misogynist, her first interview with him was painful to watch with how he was treating her like an object. Why would you want her to go on his  show?

It's funny how this thread reached 50 pages and then finally the official announcement came 

Beach songs are her genre (TD, HIH) so excited for that 

This sounds really good

what does Nirvana sound like compared to this?

Dr. Luke never produced the entirety of her albums. The most was Prism. Also, isn't Stargate and Max Martin confirmed on the album too? Has Stargate ever co-produced a song with Dr. Luke? Is Max Martin back to working with Dr. Luke too? 

 

If so, I wonder if everyone is gonna hate them with the same energy...

I was there, at the time. I will retroactively use my life force to make it a (moderate, 250 million streams) hit in 2024. 

The video she just filmed in Ibiza was for this? If so, WOW... damage control at its best

This one sounds good!! Cheesy lyrics, but not bad, especially for a Katy Perry song

 

Crazy how badly her team fumbled her return with WW. If they had led with this song, she still would have gotten **** for working with Luke, but at least the song isn't as lame and as awful as WW. But now she has no chance of snapping back; no matter what she releases she's gonna be ridiculed because the tone of the era was set so horribly

The announcement post is tanking HARD on instagram

All her posts are tanking on instagram. How come she got 206 million followers and barely crack 150k likes on every post like its so odd 

Edited July 30, 20242 yr by KatyPrismSpirit

I can't believe how much my hype and excitement for this era died after WW went absolutely nowhere. Hopefully Lifetimes resurrects my interest and activity in the base

It's about time!!! Lifetimes should have been the 1st single.

I'm excited for the song & video seems hot!
