The “aha”s are quite catchy and she looks phenomenal but yeah nothing to sink your teeth into beyond that. Marina did this concept better and without working with an objectively loser of a man. Hopefully the album serves some better bops
I feel like this song is a re-introduction for her into the pop music space. A safe pop song with a catchy hook with the return to her classic look after the ridicule of the public during her last few music eras. Is it groundbreaking? no. But its a fun song, interested to see if the next single or the album will have more depth or will continue to be surface level pop, hopefully the first option lol
@@bennshoutsdon’t expect anything deep, Katy said it herself 143 is a celebration album that is just meant to be a dance album with high energy and high bpm, nothing deep just party
The fact that she sold whatever amount of good will she had amassed for years to come back with... *this*. Spectacular miss, even with the bias aside. Hopefully she can have a return to form some day... without Dr. Luke.
I feel like it fails at both things it’s trying to do. It doesn’t work as a diamond tier infectious pop song because the melody in the verses as well as the chorus doesn’t stand out, the beat is pretty standard cookie cutter electro pop, and while the vocals are strong they lack the tongue in cheek charisma of some of her best songs. It also doesn’t work as so,e kind of feminist torch song because the lyrics are too vague to be especially relevant to the era of feminism we are in. There is no intersectional framing or any mentioning of specific oppressions specific to our time so it comes off as hollow. The video was cute but nothing stand out in her music video catalogue. I hope she has something stronger in the tuck cause this just doesn’t stand out in the modern pop landscape or her own catalogue.
💯 agree I would think it was fab if it was a jingle for a commercial for feminine hygiene products or something but first single off an upcoming album 🤔
To be fair, it feels like Katy can't do anything right for some "fans" after PRISM, she went "experimental" with Witness and got the MOST flack for it. She returned to form for the most part without Dr. Luke with SMILE and it was ignored for the most part. The song itself is an easy song for the TIK TOK generation and re-introduce herself with an image and sound the PUBLIC HAS BEEN CRAVING. The other songs are said to be better, and w/ Dr. Luke, like DOJA she still owes him a few records (3 I think). So, not much she can do with that situation sadly, the chorus is super catchy and it will do moderately well. (And of course she won't go personal or political anymore.... political almost ruined her career and the more personal songs have been called "filler" on her other albums).
i dont even hate the song sonically but i simply cant seriously listen to a "feminist anthem" produced by Dr. Luke....like please be serious. how can you expect anyone to engage with the message without even attempting to explain that?
It's a bland pop song with a fun video to watch but nothing really revolutionary or adding anything substantial to the musical/cultural landscape. In Madonna words, feels Reductive, no shade intended as I'm a Katy Perry & Gaga fan
lyrically verrrry stuff we’ve heard before, like hey hey hey is a great example. nothing at all special about it. taylor (despite the criticisms of lover as an era) already did this and did it significantly better with “the man” 😭
i feel like she just wants us to put the wool over our own eyes to be able to take in her music again and ignore everything, it just doesn't sit right, but i can still enjoy the song somewhat and the imagery was really good at points; maybe she can just start over with some new fans
The song is soooooooooooo bad. I really thought her comeback was going to be When I'm Gone. Now THAT is a bop, yet it flopped as well. Crazy how she was so massive for a few years and how quickly her downfall was.
Gays are super hypocrites about Luke's situation when until not long ago they danced to and sang Woman by doja, say so, kiss me more and all planet her among others, all slt Pop 1 and 2, unholy, Freaky girl by Nicki and many more
Not liking the song doesn't make someone a hater. The song itself is not empowering, yet that's what it's trying to 'be', most empowering songs generally aren't marketed heavily or have generic lyrics, they actually comment on life as it is right now. Also the need to generalise every gay person says more about you, we're not talking about those songs, we're talking about this one. Happy to discuss and have differing opinions, but you're just being volatile which shows that you're not wanting to hear anything other than your own opinion. If you want an echo chamber, go talk to the mirror?
I think compared to never really over. It’s definitely a flop like the song itself is not great. also as a lot of other people have said what could she possibly have been thinking working with Dr. Luke especially on a supposedly feminist song? and then to top it all off I did not think that was a good music video like one of her weakest for sure
My take on this whole Dr. Luke stuff is that I think it's bad ass of Katy to make him be part of something he might feel repulsive of. It's like she's making him work and be in charge of it.
I watched the Zayn Lowe apple interview for the song and the snippets of songs he showed from the album sounded WAY better than this, we're in good hands.

Fingers crossed 😟
Its definitely a song
💀💀
Is it though?

haha agree, hopefully there's something deeper within

It's definitely a choice to work with Dr. Luke again and not even make a good song

PERFECTLY SAID! 👏🏻
This is the comment I was looking for😅👏
💯 agree I would think it was fab if it was a jingle for a commercial for feminine hygiene products or something but first single off an upcoming album 🤔
the queen is back! thanks for reacting ❤
Queen of what exactly 🤣
Catchy but I know it isn’t the best song of the album and that’s ok
Surely not haha
Well... Gowns, beautiful gowns
LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
Meh!!!
LOL
It’s my song for summer 2024! I wish it would’ve been a bit faster at the beginning and a bit longer.
But musicwise I love the chorus
So deeply ironic… its hilarious, Trisha looked cute tho!!
lmao

this is a rupaul album filler track.
everything he dont like, i like a lot 😂
HAHA, opposite attract? 😂
Love it, POP is back 😍😍... Yeah it is simple, but thats the point, have fun and enjoy 😊
yas pop is back! working with a rapist to say nothing about femenism
5:36 Loosey Laduca reference
hahaha
well yes
QUEEN HAS RETURNED BABY!!!
Came here to see what Ben thinks about this one 😅
HAHA
i dont even hate the song sonically but i simply cant seriously listen to a "feminist anthem" produced by Dr. Luke....like please be serious. how can you expect anyone to engage with the message without even attempting to explain that?
Yeah, I really don't understand her thinking :/
The song was not produced by Dr. Luke, check the credits
You’re so annoying
@@eduardobaca8176 the credits in the mv are for the production of the video
So don't listen to any doja's, Nicki's, Fifth Harmony's, Beyonce's songs
You like Kylie and Bebe Rexha new single?
AND Tove Lo 💋
Let's just say, this shouldn't have been the first single. Katy has leaked a lot of the other songs on the album and they're AMAZING.

totally!!!

Katy Perry is back
Unfortunately
@@avarielle1582 Happily. 😉😘
sadly
I loveee Katy and no one can take away her Teenage Dream era but this was :/ but hey I’ll be first to listen to 143!
The comments in here are WILD but i guess the song definitely got people talking good or bad
I love you is the number of letters in each word dork.❣️
143 is I mean to say lol
Lol, I know
‘143 is code for I love you, especially used on pagers back in the 1990s.’
keshas song is much better
Get in loser for the joyrideeee
Please reacting to Blackpink - Playing with fire
Mm.. It's an "ok" track, but.. Waaaay too random.. Seen and heard it all before..
The music video was great. Such a shame she had to work with Dr. Luke
The chorus is 🔥🔥🔥!!
i feel like she just wants us to put the wool over our own eyes to be able to take in her music again and ignore everything, it just doesn't sit right, but i can still enjoy the song somewhat and the imagery was really good at points; maybe she can just start over with some new fans
Katy Perry had to have created the song and the video to be satire. It's the only way it makes sense
Cringe right?! Kate has that effect ever 😅
Camp queen
REMI WOLF JUST RLEASED 4 HOURS AGO PLZ REACT 😭😭😭 much love from Arizona!!
The song is soooooooooooo bad.
I really thought her comeback was going to be When I'm Gone. Now THAT is a bop, yet it flopped as well.
Crazy how she was so massive for a few years and how quickly her downfall was.
Yess that song was so good omg
Should have done "My Oh My" by Kylie, Bebe and Tove Lo instead.
Is a Bop sorry Haters but better go play that song out of tune and badly done instead of messing with Katy
Gays are super hypocrites about Luke's situation when until not long ago they danced to and sang Woman by doja, say so, kiss me more and all planet her among others, all slt Pop 1 and 2, unholy, Freaky girl by Nicki and many more

I clicked on this so fast to get your take 🤣and yikes
Love Katy, but she's no Madonna!! We all know M would have pushed the envelope with a song of this type.
POP IS BACK
usually really love your content, this was a miss for me, idk why we’re supporting abusers in 2024
Queen of pop❤
On what planet?
@@JB-pl1iu not yours dumb h03

I mean yeah it‘s catchy, but somehow bland… also it‘s kinda giving me 2020-2022 like stupid love meets kim petras problématique album
Reigning supreme!!!❤
There’s a song featuring Kim Petras on the album so looking foreword to that!
My take on this whole Dr. Luke stuff is that I think it's bad ass of Katy to make him be part of something he might feel repulsive of. It's like she's making him work and be in charge of it.
It’s….terrible
It’s a boring song and worst video…
I watched the Zayn Lowe apple interview for the song and the snippets of songs he showed from the album sounded WAY better than this, we're in good hands.
