Katy Perry - "Lifetimes"

Featured Replies

Replying an Ig story by a fanpage about the haters, Katy has invited the Katycats to rise above and to never respond to them. Love that from her, she's so clever and self-aware, contrary to how haters want to describe 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. 

this sounds basic af :toofunny3:

 

are Katy and Dr Luke creatively bankrupt? it seems so

I'm more about awareness, because the essence of an Idol for Katy was precisely to clean up her reputation and public image. Let's see how Idol will affect the release of the album, but so far it doesn't look promising.

And she ruined that in one day by collaborating with Dr. Luke. Oh Katy...

i think this is the correct take.

 

i hate that she went back to him as much as any other sane katyrat, but the truth is, the songs could do well if they had some creative vision. the hype/visuals were/are there, but the rest...

 

with that being said, lifetimes sounds like a bop and a step in the right direction (for my basic gay ass so don't quote me f&gs), so i will probably give it more than a few hate streams that ww got :gaycat4:

what a thread... :rip:

omg how are you i've been missing you on here tbh :chick3:

Like WW, this song's verses and pre-chorus are really lazy and sound disjointed to the chorus. The chorus is great but I don't think it'll be enough to save the song 

I actually like the Lifetimes snippet and it could have been a bop but I think people would still cancel it because of the Luke situation 

I still see the same comments in this thread hoping the song will somehow do well. Guys,  this song is a harmless bop but it's still associated with Luke so it has no future at all. 
 

honestly this whole album tbh, it will make Smile seem like a success. And honestly it's true because at least Smile had NRO and HIH. And even Daisies performed way better than WW without even a fraction of radio support. It still might be too early to write it off, but it's safe to say that commercial success is not in her bag this era at all. So let's just enjoy the music for what it is, a dance-focused album with some nice beats and basic lyrics. Something to pop your ***** to. At least the visuals are amazing this era so that's a win at least. 
 

I'm preparing myself for the next album which she said is gonna be an acoustic-rock, so that is what I'm looking forward to more than this tbh. I just sincerely hope that Greg Wells will be the executive producer so he'll bring the best out of her artistically.

Let's hope acoustic rock be more TOTGA AND TOY and not What Makes a Woman or Saved as Draft.

I think the essence of Idol for Katy was to make a shitload of money. Those talent shows have never done anything for female artists. Not for Christina, not for Kelly, not for Gwen, not for Shakira, not for Britney, not for Miley, not for Alicia, certainly not for Paula. I guess it kind of helped J Lo but... eh?

These shows have helped Kelly and Gwen too

 

Without The Voice, Kelly probably wouldn't have become a daytime talk show

 

Gwen got 2 crossover/ country top 40 hits with Blake (Nobody but You - #18 peak, 2x plat + Happy Anywhere - #32, 1x Plat) and "You make it feel like Xmas" (platinum)

Well yeah but I'm talking about music and The Voice gave Kelly her lowest selling albums and zero hits even though she utilized it to the max and resonated with its audience.

 

Gwen's situation is more complicated. If she was just on The Voice, without the Blake relationship and country rebrand, there would be no career boost for her either, as evidenced by the fact that all her singles that aren't Blake duets have tanked even though she launched them on the show. The Christmas song came out (and peaked) before she joined The Voice. The show may have helped it a bit but a #2 Bubbling Under peak and taking 6 years for a platinum plaque is not an outstanding result after performing the song on The Voice TWICE

I'm excited for this song, Kesha fans are shook

Really wish it was coming this week and not next but oh well :coffee2:

 

It's going to be DOA for the mainstream but I can kind of see this one lingering on dance music playlists for a while to give it longevity. 
 

it's a shame social media/the media is going to be quick to bury the album/era otherwise I feel like this one could have a longer life than something like Woman's World.

I think you're right with dance carrying it a bit. I sent the snippet to a couple DJ friends and both had good things to say. Hopefully it sounds good in a club and has a proper house bass line. 

some people need to realize that WW going #63 and then dropping out will be the peak of this whole era chart-wise, lmao.

Agree, as much as I want to like it, it already sounds dated from the clips I've seen of it. Her team are doing her so dirty, imagine the pure number of demos etc that would have been available to Katy for her big comeback, and these were their best choices? This will go down as the biggest fumble in pop history.

 

Lemme wait to hear Nirvana!

Well. She needs to work really hard this era. Her seat is busy.
