I love Ghost also, is that a ballad? Sometimes people call songs ballads and I think WHAT? Like I've read reviews where they refer to Dreamlover and Always Be My Baby by Mariah as ballads...I don't get it. I would never refer to Ghost as a ballad. Probably a mid-tempo, it’s slower than most of her songs anyway. I think a ballad tends to be used for any low-tempo song but calling a song a low-tempo sounds odd lol

I love how positive all the narrative is for her this time around vs Witness.
The new track is quite good. NRO is still the best of the bunch (I'm glad it made the cut along with Harleys). I really like the cover as well.

It looks the order of the flowers in Katy’s Daisies flower shop back in May is the tracklist.
1. all over again - Never Really Over 2. shameless summer 3. light in your life - Teary Eyes 4. the small town - Daisies 5. full flower moment 6. what a time to be alive 7. big & bright - Smile 8. now we’re celebrating - Champagne Problems 9. sweet escape 10. pink & purple in the sky - Harleys In Hawaii 11. heart & soul 12. the Katheryn
I italicized the titles that Olly gave since they haven’t been officially released yet. Katy confirmed the title “What Makes A Woman” but I’m not sure which lyrics it goes with.

My favorite Katy ballad is "IT TAKES TWO". I adore that song! Ghost is my fav! Ok we're friends again! "Ghost" is my favorite too!

Do you guys think she entered Meghan Trainor territory in terms of not being able to score hits anymore?

I actually think 'Smile' is Katy's best song since NRO.

If they’re not going to push Smile to radio, then Katy and her team should try pushing Harleys In Hawaii to radio. Daisies isn’t going to last until the album release and HIH sounds like a smash. When it was released last year, it wasn’t given any push and I feel like the GP doesn’t know it exists.

I am very curious to see what she has in store for the deluxe fan edition that you can pre-order from her website. Also, will it be different than the Target version? (i assume it will have even more than the target version) I wonder what the voice memo thing is about...
A little annoyed the confirmed tracklisting wasn't announced with the preoders. How much longer is she going to make us wait? I won't preorder anything until i know whats on those deluxe versions...

One interesting fact: the cover photoshoot was done in April 2019.
Considering she wrote "Smile" in late 2018, and the "shaping up" singles i/c NRO and ST, the original plan to release this album was around Q3-Q4 of last year... Then it was pushed due to lack of interest after ST, but she also had some other materials back then.

Hopefully that’s why Smile isn’t a single cuz they realized their mistake with the Small Talk direction. Daisies is a great track, and single #2 has to be just as great, and Smile is not even close.

I will still never understand why they went with Small Talk as the follow up to NRO when they already had a video filmed for HIH and there was anticipation for it (since Katy mentioned it in an interview).

I feel like "Harleys" could have been much bigger than "Small Talk" had it been pushed in July/August before "Small Talk." that one should have stayed in drafts or been an album cut lol.

There will be a bonus track on the Japanese edition per store.universal-music.co.jp/product/uicc10049/. Not sure if it will be different from the Fan Edition (which incluse "Small Talks" and "Never Worn White" and a voice memo) sold at her US official store.

I'm in a bad mood today, but god I hate the Smile video. Jesus. She is either a slam dunk or complete flop for me lately. Like, Never Really Over-wow I'm excited! Small Talk-Never mind! Daisies-Hell yeah! Smile-Never mind again!!

Not that anyone cares but I realized this is the first time a Katy Perry album has a title track that’s not the opener. “One Of The Boys”, “Teenage Dream” & “Witness” were all track #1 on their respective albums.

It’s probably the work of KatyCats but Harleys In Hawaii is trending in multiple countries on Twitter.
Katy & Capitol, it’s your move now...
