base talk Katy's Small Talk vs. Lifetimes

[80x100]

[Mordecai]

Better: The song that doesn't have 'blah blah blah blah' as its bridge

Bigger: Small Talk

[ICLDXU4HS]

You could've at least posted Small Talk, how's anyone supposed to remember what that sounded like.

ST, sweetieeeeee 

[SmittenCake]

small talk

[80x100]

small talk is the worst katy single of all time btw

[Dolce Vita]

at least small talk had some personality 

[Gelato]

Lifetimes is better but that's no compliment 

[Bubble Tea]

Both are bops

[MerveAksak]

Lifetimes sounds like a DJ track that happens to use Katy's vocals meanwhile Small Talk at least was camp in a good way. Never thought I'd defend Small Talk though but here we are 

[Pop_Music_Lover]

I never liked "small talk" because of that useless chorus, but the pre-chorus: " And I just can't believe, we want from strangers to lovers to strangers in a lifetime" is addictive and should have built to something on par, it was such a waste :(

 

Lifetimes sounds quite generic to me, I sometimes listen to it  just cause of nostalgia ahah (tbh I think Lifetimes  is worse than WW in some ways).

 

 

[IfNotForYou]

Lifetimes is a cute lil song that doesn't really bother to listen to on the background. Small Talk is not that bad but as a follow up to Never really over it really single handedly Kill any hype or momentum. It's similar to WW. 

[Apolonio ₃₄]

Both suck

[cyberraga]

Both awful but Lifetimes is better.

I don't even remember lifetimes 

[Tylerbv]

Comparing a 0 to a 0 seems pointless

[bielneira]

1. "Lifetimes"

2. "Small Talk"

[Rihinvention]

Small Talk is terrible, but I do wish that its 1960s vibe inspired the aesthetic of the era, rather than the sad clown thing she ended up going with. That was whack.

 

Lifetimes is way better, but the video is such a nothing video. It's like a video that the only single guy in a friend group of straight people makes about their 2014 holiday to Ibiza. He probably sets it to Avicii or The Chainsmokers or something. He posts it on every platform imaginable but it still only gets 17 views.

 

Also the lyrics are super generic. Makes it feel like a EDM song with a vocal feature.

Small Talk is revolutionary while Lifetimes is tragically generic.

The truth, the drag

Small Talk

[ChooseyLover]

Small Talk is overhated and if you cared about lyrics and how songs can tell a story you would easily find that track relatable. Only people who listen to pop music as background noise would choose Lifetimes over Small Talk.

[Top Dash]

The blah blah blah blah makes perfect sense in the context of the song, I never got why it was so hated
