i can assure you no one's expecting deep/raw songs from katy perry out of all people, atrl's main taste is stanning fun, carefree but still fresh and textured pop music, something katy's been incapable of releasing since teenage dream. 

 

this is just embarrassing atp

For me and my music tastes it's not embarrassing at all, but I guess we can agree to disagree

They should push this on all the major dance music playlists. This feels like one of those random dance songs that you come across on a playlist, didn't even realise charted, but has like 300/400m streams. Which is not always a bad thing.

I don't know why people are going on about the writing credits. Sometimes anyone in the room when a song is written can be owed a writing credit. 2 of the writers are also the producers. We don't know what contractual obligations play out behind the scenes that entitle someone to a writing credit.

I'm sorry but I love it. The chorus is catchy, you can't deny that. 

 

If the song would have a bridge or a change in beat - it would have a bit more depth to it. 

 

It's a lot better than Walking On Air.

 

The video reeks of last minute change of plans, but whatever. 

 

Will this be the hit she needs? I don't know. 

 

 

 

Her label has spent a radio deal budget and opportunity for WW. I hope they can repeat it with LT.

Honestly the clips never excited me cause it seemed generic af and sure enough...

 

It's cute tho. Not as cute as WW tho. The video is fun. Just so funny it's everything we begged for 10 years ago for "Birthday" but alas 

The verse sounds IDENTICAL to the verses of this smasha @magazine

 

 

C'mon, if you listen to this and think this is like the carefree bops she used to make you are prolly lying to yourself.

 

She got only 1 good thing going with her during that prime era and now it's gone. There's really no redeeming quality to her now.

Maybe a club mix might help the song. It feels like something is missing tbh 

Is her team serious? How did they promote that song over this?  

It's a good song. It's a drastic improvement from WW. This should have been the one to kickstart the era

Almost everyone here whether they like or the song or not pretty much agree it's not as good as her earlier music… why don't we stop comparing songs she's releasing now to music she released over two decades ago

"Joke's on you, my fave's never had profound lyrics " oh that's not...

 

A euphoric bridge and a punchy final chorus really could've elevated this song, I loathe how tik tok and streaming have impacted so much of the artistic integrity of mainstream pop.

 

that being said it's still very catchy and I enjoy it. Is the sound dated? Maybe. Calling it straight up bad though is a little dramatic

I LOVED Katys first two eras and yes, she never was about deep lyrics BUT this song is just appallingly bad in the lyric department. It may be catchy but I won't listen again

This is bad, the lyrics. Sounds dated and a desperate attempt for another chart topper. 

It's not a bad song, but it needed one more verse, a bridge and maybe a final chorus with a vocal change and she would have a moderate hit on her hands. The song like it is now will go nowhere just like WW, but at least it's listenable.

So this is her "comeback"

Uff this is as forgettable as it can get  She's completely lost it.

 

I couldn't even finish it, I was that bored...

Lyrics are too basic, even my broken english ass could've come up with smth like this. 

Production sounds too 2018-2020. 

Same thing goes for woman's world as well. 

 

Idk why people also keep talking about her "desperately trying to top charts". Katy has been through a lot during her career commercially speacking, she's reached untouchuble highs and undeniable lows. She has nothing to prove anymore and she has said many times now that she doesn't necessarily seek a #1 hit. And for who thinks that working with Luke is the prove of this desire, you need to reflect that maybe on a working level she just prefers him, also considering 143 is a dance pop album. 

Last but not least, she has literally let fan choosing the second single, so what's the point of wanting to top the chart with a song that maybe wasn't even supposed to be single?!

I just still can't believe that trash like this is the outcome of choosing to work with that thing. 

boring .... uninteresting lyrics 

it's really not that much better than WW  she and Luke have both lost their touch, despite the dancey production it's just painfully generic and repetitive to the point of just being boring 

What's with this trend of songs not going anywhere, multiple instances of it with Dua's album too.

 

You don't even need a beat drop, but give a memorable/punchy hook, bridge or something!  

It's not as actively bad as Woman's World but it's all very dull and elevator music-y.
