Jesus song or wedding song it's all the same to me. Reminds me of shania twain's from this moment or some other song you always hear at korean weddings; some super sappy mess.
I really didn't think she could go safer or cheesier in lyrics from roar but she proved me wrong.

Could this be another "Bye Bye"? Meaning, a song universally acclaimed by those who heard it prior to the album's release, noted as basically a guaranteed smash by almost all as well, by one of the biggest artists on the radio at the time, which completely underperforms because it's actually just not that good?
I won't make a judgment until I hear the entire song, but I think this could be possible.

This is why I never listen to pre-release "reviews".

I like it a lot more than "Roar" based on that clip, but "Walking on Air" and "Dark Horse" are miles better. This is bland.

Hopefully this pulls a "Diamonds" for me... I thought that song was so boring when I first heard it, but ended up absolutely loving it.

I really hope this isn't a hit just because she's Katy Perry. She should release Legendary Lovers and end the era. (lol)

"Legendary Lovers" is not that good. It sounds like "Chloe" by Emblem3.
"Unconditionally" sounds like it will be a great followup.

From the snippets "this moment" was one of my favorites. To me 'TM' it's the most instant along with "this is how we do."
'This moment' is the sleeper hit of this album in my opinion.
"Unconditionally" sounds like a grower though, and probably will be one of my favorites when it's on the radio.
"By the Grace of God" is lovely. I love Christian songs.
By the way, the titles of her songs 'international smile' and 'this moment' were obviously inspired by 'international love and feel this moment."

Dark Horse is the only song after TD era that I really find addictive. I don't get why they don't just release that as 2nd single, it's already doing well on itunes.

Based off of the snippet... the chorus is very powerful. Reminds me a lot of Wide Awake, so I'm not too worried about its chart performance. I'm really hoping for a killer bridge (that we get just the beginning of in the snippet) and final chorus to push this over the edge for me.

Still doesn't tell the whole story tho! :)
Just listened to the preview...I enjoyed it. I'll have to listen to the whole song before making a full judgment, but I find the potential for another hit single is there.

I enjoyed the snippets. "Unconditionally" sounds pretty good. It will most likely be a hit. I honestly liked almost every song's preview based off of those snippets of her album.

I've been hearing "Walking On Air" on the radio lately lol I thought that was going to be the next single. :( Hopefully it will still be eventually.

I was so hoping for something like the one that got away or thinking of you. Even a rehash of those would have been better. Did something happen to her team's creative process? All the songs off prism that weve heard seem so much more formulaic and bland compared to her last eras. Something is not right

Something is not right I'm guessing they just want to make the most of the momentum and hype she had built up by making the safest most formulaic songs possible and ensuring the 'hits' continue.

She has had flawless singles since her OOTB (thinking of you want my favorite but it was good) Honestly this song is just not very good. The way she sings the title is sip strange, its not catchy at all and i think it sounds messy. Everyone was right DH and WOA are way better.... It is Katy Perry so it may smash anyways but i honestly do not see thus song becoming a smash....i just don't at all

Y'all are crazy! This is her next #1, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see it sell 5 million plus when all is said and done. The timing is perfect, going into holidays, and the lyrical content is extremely relatable and will find success across multiple formats, especially HAC and AC. I can see this being played at weddings, tbh. Katy is coming for another 5 #1s this era. She is NOT playing.

I do think this will do really well. Since #1's are much harder to come by now, I'm not going to say it's for sure getting there. But it has a good shot.

I feel bad for being so harsh based on the snippet, but after hearing the full song I love it! The timing is perfect! It will peak right in the dead of winter!

I'm just laughing my ass off in this thread. Yeah it isn't her most ICONIC song but this will be a major hit and will scalp wigs when it hits #1. I'll give this 2 weeks before people start coming in here saying "I'm loving this now". ;)
