"Lifetimes" is infinitely better than "Woman's World" and doesn't suffer from the irony of being a woman's empowerment anthem made by Luke, but his involvement at all makes it a tough pill to swallow. Damn. Did he produce the whole album? Still, should fair much better than her lead and they're smart to move on quickly!

I am already seeing quite a few people say "Lifetimes" also sounds horrible so it seems Katy cannot win with some people.

Literally triggered by the red hats lmao You caught that too? I think the song is enjoyable but immediately recended and swapped my smile with a sideeye in the glare of so many undulating red caps. lol Like a bop blaring at a white supremacy gathering. Meanwhile I've been watching a lot of old Katy interviews/clips/music lately and heard her say on multiple occasions "Birthday" was an "early Mariah type track". Am I the only one not getting the parallel there?

Lifetimes is a HUGE step in the right direction, aside from Luke’s involvement.
Catchy bubblegum pop with good beats, upbeat vibes, and a hook are what the people want from Katy. WW was not that song. At all. I think it will get the “ME!” treatment and end up being treated as an “oopsie” and quickly move on and try to forget about it.

'Lifetimes' is a huge step up from WW. It pains me, but I've heard a 100s of songs just like this on Dance Radio during the past decade.

Over it really lololol I feel some of it is very performative for some clicks. Without a doubt. Any person I see tweet about Kesha also tweets about Katy in the same breath. They're obsessed with associating the two

I was thinking at most he produced a few songs, but the whole damn album?! I was being sarcastic before. -_-

I actually assumed Voldemort produced the whole album the minute I heard he was involved. Either way, only die-hard KatyKats are buying/streaming this album, so I don't expect this era to last long, for anyone who is really upset.

Yeah that makes sense now that I've looked more through the credits of her albums in detail. I just assumed he maybe had involvement in producing a few songs, but he was one of several producers used, but had no idea he had *such* a large hand in her previous albums. Well it's all been said before. I was looking forward to the album so much, so I guess now I'll just hope the material is strong enough to make me forget about his involvement. lol

I think Small Talk would be liked a lot more if it was just an album track. It isn’t bad, it just wasn’t single material

I think Small Talk would be liked a lot more if it was just an album track. It isn’t bad, it just wasn’t single material I can appreciate your optimism. Personally, I just loathe that song entirely. It has no discernable hook, goes nowhere, and is lyrically awful. "Blah blah blah blah" I think the fact it directly followed one of the best songs in her catalog highlighted its flaws even more. Like, I remember being genuinely so disappointed when I heard it after "Never Really Over" and then knowing it was pushed so hard while they had "Harleys In Hawaii" waiting in the wings?! Chiiilee. lol It instantly flogged any building hype "NRO" built, but even when you strip it down to its bare bones, it's a throwaway. I wouldn't say it's good enough to make the standard tracklist of an album. Maybe good enough as an extra bonus song on a Target exclusive or something (but then I think of "High On Your Supply" and I question that too). lol

I like the production and instrumentals underneath, it just has such awful lyrics. Katy probably was the primary author because she often needs to be reigned in.
Here's the instrumental:

Small Talk's writing sounds like her and Puth did it together(quirky but somewhat catchy), but HIH sounds solely Charlie. Looking back, I can see why ST was released, Puth had a couple hits out at the time, so a few artists wanted his talent.

I assume she recorded the music video for ‘Lifetimes’ in Barcelona since that is where she previewed the track at a club.

I am excited for the potential mv for "Lifetimes" actually! I feel she's gonna be giving more sexy goddess and the goofy stuff will be set aside for a change. I really would love a sound/video on the level and likeness of "ET" from this era before it's done. That's my favorite Katy Perry single!
