Katy Perry has announced her new single “Lifetimes,” dropping August 9 along with its music video.
The pop singer made the announcement by posting its cover art, featuring Perry holding a futuristic heart.
Perry has been teasing the single over the past week or so by posting clips on social media using the house-inspired song as the soundtrack.
“Lifetimes” arrives on the heels of the female-forward “Woman’s World,” the first single off her upcoming sixth album “143.”
The track gave a rocky start to Perry’s latest era as fans were quick to write off the song after learning of the involvement of Dr. Luke, Perry’s former collaborator who was accused of sexual misconduct by his former artist Kesha.
The music video for “Woman’s World” didn’t help, intended as an ironic portrayal of female empowerment but was perceived as somewhat heavy-handed.
Upon its release, Perry explained of the visual, “We’re having fun, being sarcastic with it, it’s very slapstick and very on the nose… it’s like a reset for me and for my idea of the feminine divine.”
While she has yet to reveal a tracklist for her upcoming album, “143” is slated for release on September 20.
Perry teased a few of the songs and some features while live-streaming on Instagram and TikTok, previewing “I’m His He’s Mine” featuring Doechii, “Gimme Gimme” featuring 21 Savage and “Nirvana.”
It’s been almost four years since the singer released her last album “Smile,” which came out in August 2020. It produced a handful of singles including “Daisies” and the title track, and became her weakest-performing album in years.
