There is no way that’s happening, sorry. I agree. And I'm kind of sure this rumour was debunked a while ago.

So cute people are ‘trying’ to debunk this rumour and say nasty things like ‘That is not happening’, well sorry if you guys are pooping your pants, but it looks like it hella is happening whether you like it or not! Get off the forum if you’re so hurt about Katy making a comeback for this year, and learning and thriving as a person! Bye!

I gotta say, this song sounds amazing in a club atmosphere. I just wish it was a little longer with a second verse.

Behind closed doors this has got to be highly affecting her. It’s literally during her supposed comeback launch 3 weeks before the album release and in the middle of the “2nd” single and it’s crickets from her and her team. I even saw her advertise shoes again the other day, lol.

Everything is so negative this beats Madonna’s Erotica era.

At this point, there is absolutely nothing she can do to revive her rapidly sinking career without major support from her label that would invest heavily in play-listing support. "Lifetimes" had playlisting support on par with some D-listers. Even she released a killer single without Dr. Luke, it would not have amounted to anything. Maybe it would have been a small hit, but she cannot realistically expect a comeback without big investments from her label.

If I'm being honest I actually enjoyed the clip of "Lifetimes" when I first heard it (especially compared to "Woman's World"), but was disappointed when I heard the song in full. Like the clip is the highlight of the song and that's really all there is to the track: a catchy line with a house beat. I feel like the era is pretty much doa as at this point, even if the 3rd release is what we all wanted, it's kinda too little too late. :/ I have a feeling they're gonna push "Gimme Gimme" and I don't see it turning things around.

Yeah, no song is saving this era now. I really think she’d be better served scrapping the album release and coming back in like 12-18 months with an album of all fresh writers and producers for her. But that would be a completely unprecedented move in the industry, and probably contractually illegal too.
Agreed too about her being on an Apple remix being about the only thing that could derail charli’s momentum rn, which is just wild it’s gotten that bad.

The song had sparked both emotional connections with fans and controversy due to Perry's decision to work with Dr. Luke.

yep, no point in another promo single as it will get attacked immediately cuz of Dr. Luke. Might as well rush release the album and let the GP decide which is the best track to release. That's what they should do, but they probably have something lined up with the Rio performance to coincide with the album release.

I’m sad because this was truly all her and her teams doing. I said it in another thread, this will be a failed comeback that’s referenced for a long time to come. I actually think she could have had a really strong comeback if she played her cards better.
I’m still going to enjoy the album. But yeah, the Dr. Luke / WW thing really did extreme damage.

I don’t dislike this, but I think I’ve liked every song she previewed more than this.

If Katy released an Espresso copycat it would have went top 20. Instead she's releasing D list copies of Firework and dated Calvin Harris clone songs

She did amazing at the club, I saw the Evita performances! Can’t wait to see her perform it at the MTV VMAs!

They need to rethink a new strategy, cause this is honestly embarrassing to watch. I thought there would be some hype surrounding a new Katy record, but she ruined that by working with a horrible person. Did she think this music would be quality enough for her fans??? It might be better to postpone the album and rebrand tbh

The melody on this one really is stellar, but similar to WW the song structure is just lacking and it overall feels underwhelming.

Has there even been a case of an artist postponing an album this close to release?

Why should she shelve or postpone the album? I'm actually looking forward to new music from Katy, i can't care less about its chart performance.

The album isn’t getting postponed. Everything is physically prepped for release, so a re-brand isn’t possible. If anything, I could see them pushing up the album and rush release it. They’re not gonna throw away all of the physical product already produced.
But like others said, I don’t care about chart performance anymore. As long as I enjoy the music, I’ll be happy. I really enjoyed Smile even though it didn’t do much commercially. If 143 turns out the same, then so be it.
