Katy Perry has made a bold return to the music scene with the release of her latest single, “Woman’s World,” accompanied by a visually striking music video. The much-hyped track debuted on Friday morning, featuring Perry in a series of attention-grabbing scenes that showcase her trademark flair.
In the video, Perry begins in a Rosie the Riveter-inspired ensemble before transitioning into a provocative white crocheted G-string bikini paired with robotic metal leg covers. Throughout the video, she commandeers a monster truck alongside YouTuber Trisha Paytas, disrupts a TikToker’s dance routine, and even injects her own buttock with petrol, culminating in a dramatic helicopter stunt.
The single itself has been noted for its catchy, upbeat sound and production style, drawing comparisons to Lady Gaga’s “Stupid Love.” It serves as the lead track from Perry’s upcoming sixth studio album, “143,” slated for release on September 20.
Perry, known for her boundary-pushing music videos and vibrant persona, explained the album’s concept as a celebration of love and empowerment. During an Instagram Live session, she previewed snippets of other tracks from the album, including “It’s His, He’s Mine,” which samples Crystal Waters’ iconic “Gypsy Woman (La Da Dee).”
However, the release hasn’t been without controversy. Questions have arisen regarding Perry’s collaboration with producer Dr. Luke, a figure embroiled in past legal disputes. Despite his involvement in some of Perry’s biggest hits, including “Teenage Dream” and “Last Friday Night,” Dr. Luke faced serious allegations from Kesha in 2014, which led to a highly publicized legal battle and settlement in 2023.
Critics have pointed out the potential implications of Perry’s decision to work with Dr. Luke amid ongoing public scrutiny within the music industry. Nevertheless, Perry remains undeterred in her musical ambitions with “143,” her first album release since 2020’s “Smile.”
As anticipation builds for the album’s full release, Perry’s latest endeavor promises to continue her legacy of chart-topping hits and provocative artistic expression.
