Then why Witness flopped? Max is all over it. This song is fine

Witness didn't "flop" it underperformed and that's as largely due to Katy's image at the time not the music. A lot of people liked the music.

As a Katy pre - Smile fan, and OWWH, I was actually excited for this cause it sounded like a cute carefree bop. But WHAT THE ****. I wasn't expecting this much blandness. I went from bopping to feeling stuck in an endless loop. It was awful. The repetitive lame ass lyrics. The monotone delivery throughout the whole song. The fact that she sacrificed her integrity over what is looking to become her most inoffensive yet somehow very offensive (?!) bland and uninspired record. 

[OreGuy]

soo disappointed that this turned out to be a looped mess. The best part is basically what we have heard and well, 95% of the song anyway nnn which gets boring in awhile

So far, everything she has released or teased has at least 1,859 similarities: from David Guetta's songs to Vagisil's ad slogans.

I am disappointment

 

"Lifetimes" is like weak demo version of any basic house inspired track.

 

Overall production is so flat and there is not one unique sound or aspect of it :/

 

Even WW is more entertaining.

2/2 trash! 

Was it agreed appon at the beginning of the creation of this album that they would make songs with the blandest, cringiest and lamest lyrics ever? And the production is so basic, just there.

Spoiler

Woman's World is better than this

At least that one has Katy's trademark quirky personality and a more interesting delivery. this one is so lifeless

"Max is all over it" when he produced 5 out of 17 songs for the album. He's barely even half of it

Isn't this song sampling something else though? Like both Katy and this guy are sampling a song from the 90s/00s i just can't think what it is but i've defo heard this chord progression 17 million times before. Also quite reminiscient of this UK hit back in the day: 

OT: The song is 17,000x better than Woman's World, it's nothing groundbreaking and a bit of a looped mess but definitely listenable

Much more enjoyable, but I do wish there was a little something extra to punch up the song - the production, while decent, is stock standard piano house, just as WW was that with 80s synths. This is cute, a 7/10, but she needs to be giving 10/10s.

[paperfectdelusion]

The YouTube views are serving Halsey/ Kim Petras level of smash, they need to do something quick.

[ALA]

Um... I can't believe I'm saying this but I think I might prefer Woman's World? Oh

[Truth Teller]

The best thing about this whole ordeal is that it has, hopefully, proven to all of you that Dr Luke is, and always has been, a mediocre producer and we do NOT need him back. His best work was in the 2000's and heavily relied on great co-writers. His productions after that, including TD and Prism, sound washed out and have aged like milk. We were perfectly fine having left him in the iPod era and Katy's extremely unfortunate and ill-advised choice to do an entire album with him officially put her right next to him in that shelf of relics.

 

Somehow I still hope she can turn this around. Without him.

[CozySkin]

Great Song  

[Cain]

I'm sorry but she should've demanded more from L*ke  like she really put her whole image on the line to work with that man again and he gave her the most uninspired bland music imaginable 

 

This can't have taken him more than 10 minutes to make, I'm sure he had the piano loop already lying around somewhere and he just added some kicks to it

 

If I was Katy and I woke up to a voicenote playing THIS instrumental I'd be pissed, but maybe she doesn't care

Its a cute bop. She needed the same power of ad libs she had on Birthday to be at the end of this song. On Birthday she was SANGING.
