TIHWD is my favorite music video by her. That's the only reason the song was even as popular as it was. It was very stylish at the time. The cornrows backlash wasn't until a bit later.
Also, I'm sorry to say but Lifetimes is also so 2010s. The style is in that awkward spot of not being old enough to be nostalgic, but still to recent where it just sounds dated.

Fun interview. Of course no mention of the performance of the current single and of Dr. Luke, but it felt like a fun interview to me.

Genuine question. I’ve been kind of trying to think about Katy’s downward spiral of her career post Prism.
I do think a majority of the reason Witness flopped was the pixie cut as well as poor second and third singles. But I also didn’t realize how big of a break she had between “This is how we do” peaking on Prism, to when “Chained to the Rhythm” on Witness came out. It was almost three years, compared to her only year break between “Wide Awake” peaking on Teenage Dream and “Roar” on Prism coming out.
I have to believe that was another big factor in it. Personally, I rediscovered “Rise” on Tik Tok which kind of was a promo track between the two eras, and think it would have fared well as a lead single, with KP4 following a similar look/feel. I mean that one made it to #11 on the hot 100 with no big radio push.

Not much better but she did release "Rise" in July 2016 (two years after "This Is How We Do") so the break wasn't as extreme as it could have been. Was still too long in-between though.

Aside of the headline and what's written in the post, Katy shot a new music video in Ibiza, which points out to be for "Lifetimes".

I discovered back in 2013 when Prism was released that This Is How We Do is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more listenable when you turn the tempo (NOT the pitch(!)) up, sped up it actually goes off a bit!

For the people who don't like TIHWD: Is there a version where the spoken word bridge is removed? I swear it literally caused Katy's career decline, I'm not even joking. "Yo"

"Yo" It's funny because "This Is How We Do" is so Katy-coded "Reeesspeeectt!". Like Katy is that quintessential cringy white girl who gets weird and starts using a blaccent around black people. I was watching her behind the scenes of "Dark Horse" the other day and got secondhand embarrassment from her saying "mayne" next to Juicy J. 🤣

Lifetimes is a much much better song compared to Woman’s World. I don’t think it will do much chart wise, it sounded a bit outdated. But hope i’m wrong.

I love Lifetimes, it gives me so much of the 2009-2010 dance music era vibes. I really hope it takes off and corrects the course of her new album launch

If this was Calvin Harris feat. Katy Perry and released in April, this could've been a summer hit. Especially in the UK. But I think Woman's World burnt a lot of goodwill.

Katy wants the world to know that, flop era or not, she is RICH. I know #LisaRinna can appreciate this.

The video reminds me of It Goes Like (Nanana) by Peggy Gou, but the song doesn't really go anywhere.

As a Katy fan, I am disappointed. What even is Lifetimes? It's like she cooked these songs in an Easy-Bake Oven on low heat. Lifetimes has ONE VERSE? And then just a chorus of words that her daughter could have written. It took multiple people to write this? HOW? Where are her AR people?
