Has there been a video shot for this? I’m hoping since there has been one for Harleys that this is just a promo track/something just flung out there to see if it sticks in between Never Really Over and Harleys. Hopefully her label gets the hint fast that this isn’t being received as well as it should or as well as Never Really Over was

This is super weak on first listen. The video is cute and the concept of the song is dope, but the execution seems pretty poor. I can see this being a grower, but don’t see it being much of a big hit. Stranger things have happened, though.

This is really fine, but nothing groundbreaking, chorus needed to be much stronger. Bring Max Martin and Bonnie McKee back NRO > Con Calma > 365 > ST

I like this. I found the chorus to be very catchy and the production is really good. The verses are a little wordy but they’re fun, relatable lyrics. This is an A in my book.

Lots of negative reaction to this on the forum, now watch this be a bigger hit than NRO. Lol.

This is kinda cute, it definitely gets better with repeated listens. Super disappointed by that bridge though.

Not a fan of this at all which sucks because Never Really Over is probably my favorite single of hers since Dark Horse.
I've only listened to it once but I don't have the slightest urge to listen again.

When NRO premiered, I had it on repeat all day, I only listened to Small Talk 2 times.

This isn't groundbreaking but I trust Katy is attempting to rebuild her relationship at radio/public. Her songs and visuals this era have been toned down and inoffensive. I have no doubt she'll unleash something to get the social media hyped again. The chorus on this is catchy and I like how it's short and sweet.

Anything is possible, maybe this will be a surprise hit, summer is almost over.

I feel like the production is missing something. I don't know... I was expecting more from Charlie.

Okay, it's cute and all, but if NRO didn't *really* do it for her, this has a very small chance of doing so.
But then again, songs like I Don't Care get #1 these days, maybe the GP is enjoying uneventful.

Super mediocre. I already forgot what this sounded like. I wasn't as huge on NRO as others were, but at least that one was memorable.

Ok I'm feeling this now, and I totally agree with the "Make Me Feel" similarities. #11 on iTunes.

This is great! Breezy, catchy, just the right amount of heavy and maturity, really fun lyrics — I don’t know what you all are smoking lol. Putting too much pressure on a Katy Perry song at this point.
Only small thing is I think she says “blah blah blah” too many times - think that line should’ve been just once.
I genuinely think if this gets bad reception/call outs people are just tired of Katy.

I really wanted to love this, but honestly the chorus is seriously lacking. Kinda the same way w/ NRO, where the pre-chorus was good, but then it gets off track. Bring back the big melody driven anthems from her first 3 albums.

I've liked so many songs of hers throughout the years, but I've always been on this thin line between love and hate of her voice. Sometimes it annoys me. Don't know what it is, a tone when she goes higher or something. Sometimes to me also her voice is ok and I love the song. I ended up liking NRO even though at first I didn't. It was the first song of hers I liked in a while. Now this new one I've heard only once this morning. It didn't do ANYTHING for me. I found it plain, uneventful and her voice kinda' getting to that point where it annoys me. Maybe things change later for me like what happened with NRO, but for now at least for this there is no magic, that pop magic she had years ago song after song after song.

I don't like all her songs, but I always love her voice and singing, at least on studio record, but this is the first time I find her singing irritating. Honestly I couldn't find one good thing about this song.

It's fine. I hope it does well for her. If the production had a bit more of a punch, it would sound like an Architecture in Helsinki song (especially from Moment Bends album).

Clips remind me of Ingrid Michaelson... like “Hell No” perhaps. If it’s like that, should be fine. I love you for this comparison... Small Talk actually sounds like something that could be in Ingrid’s new album... though “Jealous” and “Young and in Love” are stronger. The lyrics are a little clunky but her voice is superb on the pre chorus. I wish the production came a little harder.

This is stalling at #8. Not a good sign. I like the song, but it’s not a single to launch an album and I think they should pull the adds date.

The single has only been out for 13 hours, no radio deal, no music video, second single (if this is even an era). I don’t understand the need for Katy to smash right out of the gate every release. Remember, it’s 2019, not 2013.

Remember, it’s 2019, not 2013. Right. The label is clearly trying a different approach with ST after NRO's performance. They didn't wait for a Lyric Video, it was ready, Spotify added to Top Hits already, the promotion is going to be there.
