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

lets not pretend its not a bop but...

it sounds like capital FM UK told katy they want a 4 month top 5 airplay smash and she said 'no worries' and submitted this hihi

it would've smashed in 2009 along with 'when love takes over' but in 2024 its redundant radio fodder that wont be remembered. in fact, she will have a hard job getting people to stream this. like ava max's 'everytime i cry'.

The production is so tight, and the hooks in the chorus are great, but everything else feels very limp and half baked. 
 

Lyrics (which I normally don't pay much attention to) are noticeably lazy. If you're going to repeat the pre chorus melody 80 times, at least come up with more than one bar of lyrics for it. The verse melody also doesn't quite stick - something clunky about it. This is probably why the song is 90% chorus and post chorus (and why the song has admittedly grown on me already)

Ugh.. I don't like this at all. Sad to see her go out like this

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.

Or we enjoy pop music and are as entitled to our opinion as you are to yours

The lyrics are still dreadful - more AI than Woman's World lol way better production but she seems like a guest feature  to a DJ on her own song

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 doesn't change the fact that TD is the embodiment of POP BIBLE so cut this nonsense sis

#1 on US iTunes

I feel like the iTunes charts shouldn't even exist in 2024. This probably equates to 143 downloads and a dream, I fear. 

It's not the best song in the world but to think she released Woman's World as the lead single over this...

 

Not only is this a safer option, but at least it isn't a song about female empowerment produced by Luke. A Luke song still, yeah, but I'm sure people wouldn't have been as harsh if she had dropped this cute bop with basic but relatable lyrics. 

 

I just can't comprehend how her mind works when it comes to singles or music in general. 

Capitol Records not opening their purse to atleast push Lifetimes and give Katy decent numbers is just...

ROI is highly negative for this era. It's just a charity.

Cute song but ages quite fast.

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. 

always remember us this way (a solo song) has 1.3 billion streams

i need y'all to be serious... 

This is so bad. Keep flopping girl, it's what you deserve for working with that rapist

30M spotify playlist reach debut. Worse than World War.  

Is this being sent to radio in the US at all?

Am I the only one who's pretty sad the song lacks that kind of horn that they put during the apple music interview? 

 

Still, a bop and a half

This serves Girl Gone Wild in the sense that it bops but it's completely devoid of personality.

This song is SOOOOOOO much better than WW. As dated as it sounds, it's a good pop song and it's the formula that works for KP. 

 

My only critique is that she didn't do as many ad libs on the chorus. It would have elevated the song a lot more. 

Hopefully the extended version will have the second verse and pre-chorus to make it a 4 min+ song.

I see that the entire budget went to WW and the cover art.... expecting the tour as well.

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. 

lol whatever bjtch 

I was bored not even 2 minutes into the song. Hang it up, Katheryn.

The way I had to DIG to find this in the new releases on spotify and it wasn't listed anywhere on the new releases main page.  

How is this a Dr Luke production? It's so lifeless and monotonous, like it was produced in Fruity Loops. Damn.
