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!

Look, it's catchy... but a month of teasing the chorus, and it's literally a song with 1 verse and the chorus repeated 4 times that took 9 songwriters to craft? I'm so disappointed. I miss the glory days of KP.

 

Katy once said it's Never Really Over, but I fear she was wrong. It's feeling pretty over right now :(

Better than WOMAN'S WORLD but the snippet was teased and overplayed so much I'm already bored of this song. The production sucks and feels basic AF. 
 

On second thoughts, I don't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. Maybe single 3 will be that one for me….

I feel like both this and Woman's World had potential but the too basic lyrics and repetitive structure ruin them both.

 

the constant and long teasing for such repetetive songs do NOT make her favor at all.

 

still, it's a cute bop and Imma keep wishing her the best.

As a Woman's World hater I have to say WW is better. Maybe WW really is the best pop track in this album. I'm sure there will be a ballad that is actually better (such as Save as Draft in Witness) but she couldn't use ballad as first single.

 

Also she wasted her sexy body image with this album, if she wants to pull that again with a better album it might not work.

Is this really the same who released prism and teenage dream? 
 

She used, just like Riri, to have the perfect recipe to make bops. Like her songs were SO catchy. This is still NOT it I'm sorry. It's not bad but it's boring AF.

idk the song is cute, but really something i would have expected more from like kylie minogue or something.

and it kinda sounds like one of these random dj collabs that pop girls like to do occasionally.

the video is cute, reminds me a bit of a (low budget) teenage dream for some reason.

How is this low budget than Teenage Dream? If anything, TD is low budget with its beach and motel shots while this one has yachts and more luxury.

Anyway, this is a joyful bop. It's repetitive for sure, like one long chorus but that's not always a bad thing.

I don't know how to explain it but I do agree that TD sounds and looks way more elevated

This could literally be the opening montage background music for Love Island season 7 USA.

I mean the way they filmed it was intentionally that it looks like that ig, but it really looks like her vacationing and having a camera with her. That's what I meant, while Teenage Dream looks more professionally shot.

this is obviously a step up from Woman's World and not a complete travesty but it's so painfully bland. For me, what set Katy apart was her cheekiness, love for camp, and personality. I'm not saying she needs needs redo the same era over and over but this has absolutely no identity. It's safe, basic and has nothing to say. And then seeing that it took 9 people to write this song... that's frankly just embarrassing. Not to mention that, once again, the production could've been done by pretty much every person who knows how to use Logic.

I'm sorry, but the verse slaps. 

 

The bass hits harddd. 

 

Also, it's a fun summer bop, nothing groundbreaking. 

 

Not you guys hating Lifetimes but loving that generic coffee song sung over a vanilla Jack Antonoff beat. 

 

I think the song is significantly better than WW, although it does lack a second verse and more high notes/adlibs. 

 

Had this been the lead single, things would've gotten off to an incredible start without the female empowerment anthem controversy. 

 

The MV is cute, but it's kinda generic. 

 

It's kinda reminding me of Zara Larsson's On My Love MV.

It's a cute bop that will help us to forget what she's previously relased :WAP:

I am so disappointed. I mean, it is better than WW, cause anything would be better, but... I was always wondering why is she always sharing the same snippet on socials and now you can tell why, cause the entire song is just the snippet on the loop.

 

Why couldn't they put more verses or something to make it less repetitive?
