Boo!
I wanted HH :(

[Wavey✨️]

HH or this would've did the trick.

[Junkiex]

was not expecting this but this is AMAZING! One of my favorites from the album. I expect it to hit #1 as well.

[Sir LOVE IX]

oh I didn't know Smooth Criminal was a 7th single. and only peaked at no. 7? It's like one of his biggest hit now.

[SoMuchToSay]

Based on that article, they don't seem like they expect it to hit #1 on Hot 100. Who cares? She tied the record. This is a solid single, and one of my favorites ever since I heard the album sampler previews. INSANELY catchy! I'm excited to see this blow up! Perfect slower Fall/Winter single choice! It will do well, no doubt!

lol I know. Too bad it wasn't released as one of the first 5 singles.

I think "The one That Got Away" is the perfect single choice! I think "Hummingbird Heartbeat" would've also done well.

So excited for this! Definitely my favorite song on the album.

And just incase anyone missed it from the article:

Adding to the song's chart-topping potential: a "touch-up," i.e., a Dr. Luke-produced radio edit of the album version (which he also produced), according to Thompson, and a video. The label is currently "reading treatments" for the proposed clip. (Perry penned the song with Dr. Luke (Lukasz Gottwald) and Max Martin).

:o

[Cody Wants Out...]

Cool; can't wait to hear this on the radio already. Hope to hear about an adds date soon. Should be an easy top 10.

[Spidey]

Yes! This is a great song and while it may not be another number-one hit it should do well.

[Ryan]

My life is now complete.

[Deleted]

Wish they would have decided on this sooner.

[Deleted]

Yes! I'm so glad they went with. Probably my favorite track on the album. Perfect for the fall season, feel good track.

[David]

I hope the new radio mix is good. :) Love this one.

[SoMuchToSay]

Oh, I hope she gets rid of that horrible pink hair for this song. I can't see her topping the other videos, w/ the excpetion of Teenge Dream. I wanted this, but figured it was a long shot. Can't wait for the radio edit!

[calichaos]

I told you guys


so happy right now

[kmbgs]

SHUT THE FUCK UP

[When I Ruled the World]

Best song on the album!

Yay!

[Eqbk]

I love this song but I'm not sure how this will do as a single. I feel like the logical step would have been either to stop at LFN or do a re-release but I do hope for the best.

[Caviar]

I hope she smashes!

[Az Paynter]

Urgh second single in a row I hate. I just don't get what people like about these songs.

[neverduplicated]

Honestly at this point I'm just happy there is a 6th single. I was hoping for either HH or this song - glad they made the right decision. Also can't wait for another smash Katy Perry videos. I've loved every single one of her videos to bits except maybe IKAG.

[Choco]

Awesome! Excellent choice. It was either this or HH, and this one is much better.

[hitseeker.]

WHAAAATTTTT ?!

I love this, I think it will go at least top10 on Pop and the Hot100. #1 is another question, but I'm really happy that they decided to go with this for a 6th single, it's amazing!

I don't get all the love for HH, it wouldn't work as a single imo.

[JayBoozer]

I'm surprised! I thought they were gonna pick HH because Katy said that was one of her favorites from the album... I love this more though.

[Wavey✨️]

If they promote it enough,it could go Number 1.

[ƒreakshow]

OMG. This news just made my day. This song is AMAZING and is the perfect song to wrap up the entire TD era. This might even be my favorite Katy song ever, I'm so excited.

[Deleted]

I have to give her team credit that they picked all the right singles off the album. This is the perfect closer for the "Teenage Dream" era. I see this peaking around the top 5 on both pop and the hot 100.

[blue in moonlight]

Completely forgettable filler like everything else remaining on her album. Katy and her label did a bang up job picking the correct five singles from the album. The first five singles are head and shoulders above the remainder of her album. I guess they see no harm in milking it for another single as this should do decent off sheer momentum. But she really should just wrap this era up.

[Deleted]

I was hoping she would go out on a high note with 5 #1s in a row and then come back with a new single next summer.
