The message here is totally vague, though it’s rumored to be about the 2016 election.
Unfortunately, though, theTeenage Dreamtrack is less angsty alternative and more Thursday night karaoke.

Hopefully she’ll retry after releasing this lackluster holiday song for an H&M campaign in 2015.

Hint: That’s probably not the best way to win back a love interest.
May I suggest spending that time taking a fire safety course with Smokey Bear instead?
Witness (2017)
Perry’s most socially conscious album to date,Witnesspackages powerful statements in infectious melodies.

Katy Perry’s stab at creating an ’80s soundtrack song just misses the mark.

Like a ghost, it’s easy to forget “Ghost” exists.
According toKanye, he also has a probe, which sounds… invasive.
The problem is angst-ridden emoting doesn’t come naturally to Perry, making this entire song feel forced.
Self Inflicted (2008)
Katy Perry, is that you?
We hardly recognize the pop star’s voice in this forgettable track.

1 single and the trap-pop gem, helmed byDr.
LukeandMax Martin, may mark the last time she truly had her finger on pop’s pulse.

The actual text though includes awkward phrasing like, “You don’t have to subtweet me.”
You should have kept this one in the drafts folder, honey.
but also packs a punch, partly thanks to co-writerSia.

But hey: It’s No.
A fun trap-pop effort that became a staple of summer 2017,Witness’Migos-assisted second single is a delicious appetizer.

Chained to the Rhythm feat.
It’s such a satisfying kiss-off, you’ll want to flip the bird in solidarity.
Plus,the Cure-stylesolo at the two-minute markis totally the creme de la crop.
Is this song about herfeud with Taylor Swift?
You know what is what.
But when a song’s this much fun, who even cares?
