Katy Perry is desperately trying to salvage her career after suffering one of the worst flops in pop history with her poorly received single.
Perry released “Woman’s World” last week after a month of wowing fans, but the song and accompanying video were met with ridicule.
The star’s record company invested heavily in her new album, but the song did not reach the top 40 in many countries and did not manage to reach the top positions. Full chart in Australia.
Critics have described the song as “stale” and “disastrous” and Watchman The critic claimed she felt “stupid” every time she listened to the failed attempt at a feminist anthem.
It’s a wild turnaround for Perry, who was once the world’s biggest pop star when she managed to score five No. 1 singles in the U.S. from her last album. teenage dream Album.
Perry’s first big mistake was choosing to collaborate again with Dr. Luke, and on a female empowerment song in particular.
the previous American Idol The judge rose to fame alongside Kesha, and the two had been friends for years as aspiring pop singers. Kesha even appeared in Perry’s music video for her debut single “I Kissed A Girl” in 2008.
Kesha has accused Dr. Luke in a lawsuit of sexual, physical and emotional abuse.
The producer, whose real name is Lukasz Gottwald, has denied all the allegations, including Kesha’s stunning claim that he raped Perry – something she herself denies.
As a result, Perry’s ill-advised decision to team up with Dr. Luke in an attempt to revive her glory days was met with an all-out negative backlash on social media.
Just weeks after riding a wave of goodwill that seemed to promise Perry’s imminent return, she became an outcast among her peers.
Katie is panicking now because she is fully aware of the reactions that Woman’s World is getting. person from inside Tell Daily Mail“She’s pointing fingers at everyone but herself, but that’s her fault.”
To make matters worse for Perry, Kesha’s recently released single “Joyride” has been performing better on the charts despite not having the backing of a major record label. While the song continues to climb Spotify’s charts, “Woman’s World” dropped off the same chart after just one day.
Now, the poorly judged music video, which Perry claimed was an attempt at “direct satire,” has more dislikes than likes, truly showing the level of backlash directed at a star once beloved for her outlandish videos.
“It’s over,” read one of the most liked responses to the video, while another read, “Imagine throwing away all that goodwill just to work with Dr. Luke again.”
A source previously claimed that those closest to Perry think she’s “crazy” for deciding to team up with the producer again.
“She was crazy because she thought Dr. Luke was a good idea,” the insider said. Daily Mail“She didn’t listen to anyone. Instead of diving deep into the art world, she released something that sounded like it was from her 2010 album.”
Perry’s new album is due out next month, and she’s already started promoting another single after “Woman’s World” topped the charts.
However, the single titled ‘Lifetimes’ is already facing mockery on social media, with many suggesting the song sounds ‘faceless’.
After Perry’s last two albums failed to replicate her previous success, she’s banking heavily on her new album to rescue her from the depths of pop music obscurity.
Unfortunately, Perry seems somewhat destined, even determined, to diminish her legacy — at least what’s left of it at this point in her career.
“Sexy, confident… so smart,” she sings in the opening lines of her critically panned album Woman’s World. While no one can deny that she falls into either category, the latter is now up for debate in light of her recent confusing career choices.
