Woman's World is Katy Perry’s worst-performing single release from an album in her 16-year career. What went wrong?
After immense, immediate backlash, Katy Perry explained that comeback single Woman's World was a feminist satire. But of what, exactly?"Tone-deaf." "Like its author had to have feminism explained to her by the top half of the first page of Google." "Made me feel stupider every sorry time I listened to it." "Stuck in 2016."
In July, Woman's World became Perry's worst-performing single release from an album in her 16-year career, debuting at #63 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and at #47 in the UK before dropping off both charts entirely the next week. Raised by Pentecostal preacher parents in California, Perry began her music career as a Christian artist. In 2001 at 16 years old, she released a self-titled album under her legal name, Katy Hudson, which sold less than 200 copies.
"Witness got so much heat for being a flop because the height she fell from was so high," says Murphy. "But in the context of any other pop star, it wouldn't have been that much of a disaster.""This new album is already a proper flop. What I find interesting is that there's a lot of attention around her, but none of it is translating to streams. Not even, 'I want to see if it's really that bad' streams. There's just no chart love for her.
"I understand that it started a lot of conversations, and he was one of many collaborators that I collaborated with. But the reality is, it comes from me," says Perry. That's not to say Lifetimes sidestepped controversies entirely. Shot on S'Espalmador, a picturesque Spanish island near Ibiza, the video sees Perry rave, rest and love. After the video went live, the government of the Balearic Islands stated that Perry was being investigated for potential damage to "ecologically important sand dunes", and did not seek authorisation for shooting.Lifetimes is far more representative of 143 than Woman's World was.
