Beyond NRO and CAIL, I don't see any other viable singles from this album. Maybe HIH if the first two did exceptionally well?

Katy released both Never Really Over and Harley's in Hawaii about a year before the album was released. Never Really Over did okay (it hit Billboard 100 at number 15) and Harley's in Hawaii charted on the Hot 100 Bubbling Under at number 10.

Whatever became of the fan made one? Wasn't there some controversy after she announced it being one of the options?

I hope queen Katy has a nice chill Holiday with her family.
And that she comes back stronger than ever next year. I'm gonna need a strong return to the pop gold she made with her first three albums... or a detour into something new that feels fresh. Smile had it's moments but it felt like a stitched together kind of project instead of a cohesive album.

Or at least more features in the meantime. She sounded great on "Con Calma" and "Feels".

Honestly, I don’t really know where Katy should go from here. She tried something different (Witness) and it didn’t stick, she tried something safe (Smile) and it didn’t work. I think her best bet is to venture into new genres. I think she should go either a more dance/EDM route or a more rock route. Pop radio has given up on any female pop stars who debuted pre-2015 minus Ariana.
But what she needs the most is a record label and promotion team that actually does their job. You could make an entire album of how many missed opportunities Ms. Katheryn Hudson has in her career.

go the 365/Teary Eyes route. YES! Also, I am slightly worried we may not get an album for years now...

i think Cozy Little Christmas is going to be a perennial hit for her. It's actually doing really well in streaming. It's not going to be as big as Firework or Dark Horse obviously, but I think it does have the potential to be in her Top 10 overall. Time will tell.

Katy released one hit and single worthy song last era and it was titled 'Never Really Over'. It didn't do as well on the charts as we had hoped, but it was well received and it performed decently on streaming. But it was released well before the album and all singles after it weren't as strong.
Katy just needs stronger singles. She might not be able to light up the charts as before, but she can still accomulate a lot of streams over time. She also isn't an album artist, so she should focus on making strong singles.

I think she's going to dive deeper into the Adult Contemporary "realm" and offer more introspective songs a la "Only Love" & "By The Grace Of God". Of course I would love to get a pop rock album from her but I think she's past that.
I wouldn't be surprised if she put out a christian rock album in the future though. The Katy Perry version of Katy Hudson.

I would like another album like Smile, one of my fave albums of the year. I prefer dance/pop Katy over rock/pop Katy.

You could make an entire album of how many missed opportunities Ms. Katheryn Hudson has in her career. She needs to do music she likes, I want a concept album or something like what Dagny and Carly Rae Jepsen do. Gives us Pop gold even without radio appeal. Or give us a peek of the real Katy behind the gimmicks and the glitter. Your commercial career is over probably but that can be a blessing in disguise and the time to do your best work yet even if people aren't going to send it to #1. The HAC moments on Smile, to me, were kinda boring. It's never been the reason why Katy is... well, Katy Perry global superstar. I also disagree with Witness being some sort of artistic detour... it was the same goofy Katy but she worked with a worse team (and the visuals were all over the place too).

Wow I don't think I've seen her with black hair since some point in the PRISM era.

She's a great fit for holiday music, but I'm not desperately in need of a full-length holiday album from her.
The lack of proper promotion for Smile was heartbreaking.
