Why Katy insists on shooting herself in the foot by releasing these lukewarm “promo” singles like this I’ll never understand. At this point in her career she needs to be beating us over the head with smashes and this just isn’t even close. what point would that be exactly lol Paula Abdul on the decline point.

I love this now, so infectious. It's been stuck in my head all day. The bridge is obviously still lacking, though. what point would that be exactly lol Paula Abdul on the decline point. LMAO, Paula Abdul's career lasted 4 years.

Is it a hit no, but its a get up and feel good song. At this point I feel like its all about the message and lyrics behind the songs...

If she's gonna chase hits, why waste a great song in the middle of a pandemic and almost at the end of her pregnancy when she can't promote it? I'm sure there will be great songs on Smile but i do think she'll deliver on KP6.

That's assuming her goal is to get where she was 8-10 years ago, and even then, it's not about having a "truly incredible song", it's about rebranding in such a way that she's suddenly appealing to the people she needs to appeal to to get to that level of fame again. Which is to say, it's very not likely and also not likely to be their goal either. I'm getting from this new era (which started in what? 2018?) that there seems to be more self-awareness in how the songs themselves are getting pushed and even the songs themselves getting released. Katy could be chasing trends but it doesn't seem like she's doing that if these songs are any indication. There also doesn't seem to be a strong push to pop radio. I'm not sure what the end-goal is but it doesn't seem to include winning over young audiences or even pop radio as much.

Not feeling this. Reminds me of Hey Hey Hey. Hey Hey Hey by who? This sounds nothing like the Hey Hey Hey sung by Katy on Witness. ZERO similarities. Anyway, I still love this song. So bubbly. So fun. Just what she needed.

Katy looks a little like Xtina during that performance.

That video is really good, she and her creative team have been thriving even with the pandemic restrictions.

I really like the video and the fact that Katy has been serving top-notch visuals (barring Daisies MV) this era. Not that it's surprising given her videography but it's still impressive nonetheless. That video vanguard awards will be her's one day, hopefully, sooner than expected.

This is cute! Don't get me started on that long ass instrumental break with no bridge in it though, someone put something there ASAP. The visual isn't amazing or anything, but I dig how silly and fun it is.
I'm assuming all of the clown shoes in the video are from her shoe collection right?

I give the video for Daisies a pass cuz of what was going on at that specific time period. Plus she gave us that Idol Finale performance which was the best thing so far this era.

this is also not labeled the "official music video" so idk what's up with that. this either happens when the label doesn't want this to be perceived as a single OR if there is a bigger, actual music video on the way. hmm

Tbh they set the bar up high with that performance video. It’s really good and I hope whatever’s coming next will be able to at least match it.

Depending on how you count it the second single was either "Daisies" or "Harleys in Hawaii" lol. I'm just happy "Harleys" and NRO made it to the album.

This video must have costed her a fortune, so this is definitely the second single. Of course the album has the same name, so this is kinda ad for the whole album I guess.

They are sending this to radios in Australia so it's already a single there.

Who currently hustles harder than this woman? I mean, geez! I really like this song and the performance video gets the job done. I hope more artists go this route for the time being to get videos out there.
