They are right not pushing it on radio(which costs a lot of money and they lost all it with ST after big promotion NRO). If this is all they got for an album, better to get to work and restart in a year. Capitol must be super broke after Small Talk.

This is the grown up Katy we want. It's literally Teenage Dream 2019.

This is by far her best single since the Teenage Dream album. Welcome back Katy.
The chorus is kinda week though but it works

If she’s not planning on promoting it other than just the launch then not making it a single is a good idea. Yeah Nicki was trolling ugh

I thought none of her new songs would top NRO but I love this.

Yeah, this has topped NRO for me too, and I love NRO. This is Dark Horse/Teenage Dream/ET level awesome.

WoW this is great!! It's my favorite out of the 3 released so far from this "era". I own all of them. Each time this has come on since I purchased it I don't realize what it is and keep checking my playlist. It's a little different for her. It's a little island sounding and has a modern feel to it. I wonder why they released "Small Talk" (which I like) over this??

I like this and I agree that it's better than "Small Talk". That said, from all of her recent stuff, I still prefer "Never Really Over", but I can't deny that the music video is one of her best to date, which is a reminiscent of "Teenage Dream" in my opinion. Anyway, I hope Capitol will give this a proper push and Katy changes her mind if it's considered that it's her decision (backed up by her label) to not label this as a 'single'.

20 hours later, and it's still number 7 on iTunes. It needs around 450 copies to enter the top five.

I think this isn't tooo summer-y, I could see it being played at summer beaches and bars but not at parties This is a chill track you can spark a j too in the wintertime as well, this could do well even at this time of the year

Damn... I want this to be #1 on iTunes so bad.
I have this feeling that this will be the Dark Horse of the era. Dark Horse was a fresh sound for Katy at that time, and it wasn’t a single til at the end of 2013/ beginning of 2014. The GP wants it so bad, Katy & Capital accepts the fact that Unconditionally wasn’t the hit. I have the same faith for HIH.

Why didn't they release this before "Small Talk"? This is so hot, and needs to be sent to radio immediately! This. It’s so good that it is increasing my disdain for ST. it should have had the ST summer slot. We got blah-blah-blah instead of this as a summer song? How does that happen? i also like that it vibes and that it doesn’t have the expected bombastic chorus, going for a sexy ear worm instead. Also interesting and fun that look at her last full 12 months output and the variety there: 365, ConCalma, the Christmas song, NRO and this show that there is a lot of life left - vocals are amazing these days. ok, now what’s this about HIH not going to radio when they sent blah-blah-blah ?

If they don’t send this to radio, it will be a bigger travesty than passing up WOA as a single.

This is surprisingly good (except for the lyrics, of course--Katy remains one of the worst pop lyricists of all time), it's like she injected a little Lana Del Rey into it and it suits her very well. Probably her best since "Dark Horse."

Yeah I already enjoy it way more than yesterday. It's a jam.
It's not the type of track that will smash on it's own tho. If they aren't gonna promote, it's wise to save the single push for something else then.
But I mean I can see it outperforming ST at the least.

I really hope I’ll stop thinking of One Direction’s “Fireproof” everytime this song comes on. It’s a curse. But they do sound alike.

Debuts with 621,438 plays I- It only had like 6 hours of tracking and had zero playlisting. Maybe promotion will begin Friday, since that's probably when it was set to be released.

Down to #14 on iTunes and still dark red. How can they waste such an amazing song and ruin the rollout so badly, yet send Small Talk to radio and schedule a televised live performance for it when it flopped so badly?

this has to be the most instantly catchy thing she's released since...Bon Appetit? her team is insane for releasing Small Talk over this, especially considering how summery this is, and even more insane for not giving it a proper radio push(...yet?)
as much as i think Katy's career is coming to a close, i could totally see this taking off because of how un-Katy Perry this is (at least instrumentally, this sounds ripped straight out of the Camilla Cabello handbook). seriously, this sounds like a 2019 pop smash if i've ever heard one.

Debuts with 621,438 plays I- Worldwide? That's more than I expected and pretty good considering it would've had 0 playlist support. Hopefully it'll be added to the NMF playlists and manage to climb a bit more.

^Agree
It's 2019, and I don't expect Katy to be in the top 10 anymore...just here for some good songs (and music videos).
