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 Agreed. It would have been a very cute album track. It just didn't deserve to be released and pushed right after NRO, instead of HIH. I will say her Zedd/Puth production run was on the right path!(sans Small Talk) Speaking of Zedd, I cannot let this page go without this song being mentioned: Added: Welp. I did let the last page go.

Katy on the set of a music video she filmed in Barcelona:
Edit: I’m not sure why the X/Twitter embed isn’t working but it was posted on @todaykatyp earlier today.

Am I the only one who finds this a total bop? It's Prism's Last Friday Night for me

Yes, it's embarrassing and the unspoken cause of her career decline is undoubtedly the fact that people heard this spoken word bridge and collectively decided we couldn't deal with her anymore.

Taylor Swift had a spoken word bridge in the same year? :'(

I love the sound of "This Is How We Do", but then there is the problematic video with the cornrows. lol She looks good in the behind the scenes of the new video shoot!
Off topic but did anyone see the BTS clip someone took of her supposedly high and heavily flirting with one of The Chainsmokers in front of her husband? I was gagged. 😂

‘This Is How We Do’ is definitely the ‘Last Friday Night’ of Prism. But while LFN is in the top half of Teenage Dream for me, TIHWD is in the bottom half of Prism. It’s one of Katy’s campiest songs but I feel like she pulls that off better on Prism with ‘Birthday’ and ‘International Smile’. Also, I’m not a fan of talking parts in like 95% of songs and TIHWD is no different.

I think "This Is How We Do" is certainly better than all the ballads crowding the back half of the album.
My personal Prism Ranking:
01.) "Dark Horse" 02.) "Unconditionally" 03.) "Roar" 04.) "Walking On Air" 05.) "Legendary Lovers" 06.) "This Is How We Do" 07.) "Ghost" 08.) "International Smile" 09.) "Birthday" 10.) "Love Me" 11.) "Double Rainbow" 12.) "By The Grace Of God" 13.) "This Moment" (should have been "It Takes Two")

Katy on the set of a music video she filmed in Barcelona. I don't know why the embed isn't working, but I guess it might be restrictions when @ katydailybrasil uploaded the video there, which was reposted by @ todaykatyp. That said, it's been said that Katy shot the music video of "I'm His, He's Mine".

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! I wonder if "Lifetimes" will be something like this:

I saw she was dressed in some oversized parachute-like piece with a man while being recorded spinning on a platform making out with her hair blowing in the wind. I guess if it's more sun, outside, open air vibes it could have a more "Teenage Dream" aesthetic/feel.

In one of the videos, you can hear the director or someone shouting the chorus of I’m His He’s Mine

I like the song it samples so it could be a possible slap.

not surprised, it's Katy and her team after all. If that's the next single, this era will be over a week after the album release.

What happened to her label or her creating a poll for the next single?

Yes, it's embarrassing and the unspoken cause of her career decline is undoubtedly the fact that people heard this spoken word bridge and collectively decided we couldn't deal with her anymore. This is correct. The dry "Yo" and corny ass "REEEE-SPEKT!" kills me every time. Then, of course, there is the chorus. "This is how we doo-doo" indeed. It popped up on my Katy shuffle playlist the other day and, yup, even worse than it was when it dropped. Can't believe they made that song a single, but then again, I guess I can? Also, if they are going with that song that sucks the life out of the iconic house anthem Gypsy Woman, then...no words.

I love This is How We Do. I also like LFN, Birthday, Woman's World. They have the Katy Perry "sound".

I'm beginning to think she and her team got lucky with Teenage Dream and are truly awful at reading the room to make single choices.

completely unrelated to current album discusssion:
Am I wrong in saying Power would have been the perfect first single for Witness?
The main reasoning is just the messaging of the song. A lot of the pre-album hype was built around this being a "deeper" katy perry album, and this song is very explicitly about getting out of a bad (abusive?) relationship. It's something she's touched on before on deep cuts, but hasn't been the forefront of any album cycle.
Plus, it sounds a lot like Believer by Imagine Dragons- which was huge at the time- and the tone of the song works a lot better as an introduction to the album than Chained To The Rhythm. That can be the second single instead.

I think it's moreso the issue that it's a potential single at all when it was the worst of the clips we heard from the upcoming album.
