I just heard this for the first time and I think it's just ok. I dont see his being a CHR #1. It will probably be a moderate hit peaking in the mid 20s to mid 30s.

Btw anyone who complains about the ticking sound, it's Zedd's signature thing. It's been in all of his tracks since Clarity, it's just more noticeable since Stay.

The video is a masterpiece. Like wow. The script, acting, cinematography are all topnotch. It also got me in my feelings badly. Yeah, even with me not watching it again, I keep thinking about it and how it is kind of like peeling an onion. I think that's why I can't watch it again, I obnoxiously overthink things. The male human was able to have an immediate flaw right away - the sensors detected an abnormality when Zedd said he'd be able to go back to his normal life after the experiment (i.e. it shouldn't be possible to spend an entire year with someone and then just walk away like it was nothing) but they ignored it and kept him in the study. But the robot was expected to be perfect and discarded as soon as she 'malfunctioned.' The final tear shed as she saw that the scientists (society) already had her replacements lined up and didn't recognize or value her as a unique individual...too much. you got all that from one viewing?

Two viewings; I did one rewatch before concluding that I shouldn't click repeat again. I actually got more than that out of it but...like I said, I overthink.

Reminds me a lot of the movie Ex-machina . She had to be inspired by it.

Apart from the verses which sound dated to me, I'm in love with this. It's better than what I'd heard through a leaked snippet. And I didn't do it on purpose lol. Already #6 on my week-to-date chart.

Zedd and Katy both had much better songs.

Held off on listening to the leak and just now listened for the first time. Love it! Glad Zedd moved away from the Stay/The Middle formula (even if the ticking sound is still present in the bridge lol), and it just feels good hearing Katy on something I personally use again bc I wasn't a huge fan of Witness minus 2-3 songs.

Dang I’m so torn on this. I like it on the surface but it’s just.... generic. However, the pop landscape is super generic right now (which... maybe an unpopular opinion... but it’s allowed artists like Ariana to thrive because it’s actually quality pop music and B list pop acts to push songs that shouldn’t have ever been hits).
This isn’t her best. What I do love is that Katy can sell anything she does. The video is well done and I’m glad to see new material from her.
I have no doubt I’ll be causally bopping to this but I can’t see it in high rotation on my personal playlists.

It's so nice having a Katy Perry song again though. Witness may have sucked but I still have my stan card hidden somewhere.

How is this generic tho? And what would be an example of something NOT generic?

Yep really like this. Hoping for a top 20? hit for Katy and Zedd. Also the video is fantastic, this is exactly the song Katy needs to come back swinging in the industry.

Aside from the first two singles, Roulette, Bigger Than Me, Tsunami, and in theory Miss You More, I didn't use Witness. Beyond not using, the rest of the album repelled me to various extents. It's easily her worst, and the low points are more than low enough to more than cancel out the highlights when taken as a whole.

I like this. It's catchy and fun. I like the slightly robotic delivery.
I definitely like this more than the last few Zedd singles which got on my last nerve.

That chorus is so infectious, I'm so addicted to this track. It's hard for me to listen to that new Bruno x Cardi song cuz I'm stuck on this one.

This is so good, and Zedd's signature clock sound actually complement the entire thing really well. Also the video is really good.

Here we go, yes. This fits Katy's vocal abilities perfectly. And its a step back in the right direction production-wise for Zedd. Welcome back both of you.

It’s certainly better than the 2nd half of SPIRM. The highs on PRISM ("Dark Horse", "Legendary Lovers", "Walking on Air", "Roar", even "Uncle Deshawn Ali" and "This is How We Do") destroy everything on Witness.
