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!

Katy Perry - "Lifetimes"

Sounds like some random Joel Corey, Jax Jones UK radio fodder. If this is the sound she wanted to do, there's much better producers out there she could've worked with. Luke is so sonically stuck in 2014

    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.

not wanting her to work with alleged rapists and produce music that doesn't sound like 2015 leftovers isn't really having high expectations tbh, though your point does stand generally. 

This is exactly what I'm talking about.

 

Excluding your first point cause I don't see how that's relevant here, so what if it sounds like a 2015 dance track? That was like a decade ago, maybe she felt nostalgic for that period and wanted to do something that evoked a similar feel to it herself. The song is serviceable enough. 
 

Yeah it does not have the 'magic' of her earlier work, that was a long time ago however. She has hd her time in the limelight and served well, all things come to an end eventually. You can enjoy the stuff she puts put currently or you can ignore it. 
 

But I find the constant circle jerk around this so unnecessary and embarrassing.

Also, the constant expectations you homosexuals have for female artists to keep outdoing themselves for eternity is beyond stupid and ridiculous. Some have done it sure, but they are very few and the creme of the crop. Katy perry's obviously past her glory days, and that is okay. 

Yeah, but Katy hasn't really "outdone" herself since Teenage Dream... I feel like some frustration is to be expected from her fans. You're saying this as if she's put out peak after peak and only started to decline recently lol.

Lms are still obsessed with Katy, and for some reason flocked to this thread to drag a harmless song. At least Katycats, Katyclowns and even it's Katyrats make sense to be here, y'all are just looking for content that ain't coming until September.

Sweetheart, the only frustration I see is from girls of other fanbases. The Katycats have moved on from having these exceptions. We know what our girl gives, and at least I am fine with it.

Maybe because Teenage Dream is the greatest pop album of the last decades?! It's almost impossibile to top yourself when you've already done the best. 

This is not even about outdoing her previous work. She released several good / quality songs this decade only (2020 - present) so she is still capable of that:

 

Daisies

Cry About It Later

Electric

When I'm Gone

Lol I totally agree it's been over a decade since gaga had a solo hit. I think the horrible applause made top 10? That's her last I think? 

 

It's so funny how Madonna kept smashing over decades and these girls can't pull anything. 

lol stupid love peaked at #5

A certain fanbase hates everything she ever put out. They said the same **** about 365, NRO and Harleys as well lol

Idk why the pop girls feel the need to keep giving us these same watered down house pop songs… it was cute in 2014 but do people actually crave this production?

I can think of at least ten pop records more influential and better than Teenage Dream so let's cut this nonsense. Katy released a radio-friendly album produced by the top producers at the time.  Dr.Luke, Max Martin and Bonnie McKee also gave Britney and Kesha top 10 hits around the same time telling you everything you need to know regarding Katy's artistry. Had she been behind her success we wouldn't be having the conversation we're having right now.

This song tries to replicate a formula that doesn't work in today's music landscape let alone offer anything different other than what we already discussed and the fact that Katy keeps releasing the same song over and over and over again expecting different results gives you an idea of the limited scope of her talent of skills as an artist.

That made #5 it must have peaked and died everyone hated that song at my casino job. I swear everyone hated that song. Everyone was turn this **** off. 

Katy has a great voice for house, melodic house and progressive house music. If she wanted to make a bop dance record, she should work with producers that specialize in that music over Dr Luke.

This is way better then Stupid Love and Women's world. 

 

Me a liddo and Katyrat just enjoying the moment (for liiiiiiiiifee, for liiiiiiiiife)

When you put this song on repeat it's really hard to tell when it ends and when it's starting again. I think this was intentional and makes sense with the Lifetimes tile. :clap3:
