Katy Perry's new single "Lifetimes," from her upcoming album 143, centers on eternal love, especially her bond with her daughter, whom she sees as her soulmate.
"Woman’s World" faced backlash over Katy Perry's collaboration with Dr. Luke, whose past harassment accusations overshadowed its feminist message.
The "Lifetimes" music video is under investigation for filming on protected dunes without permission, but Capitol Records claims all permits were secured.
Though not as commercially successful as her earlier hits, Katy Perry's influence on today’s pop artists, like Chappell Roan and Olivia Rodrigo, remains significant.
While Perry's music maintains an endless summer vibe, evolving pop culture and newer artists may affect the reception of her latest work.
