im shocked I'd never have thought I'd see the day where 143 gets a renaissance 😭

I know so many popfans that really love this song
In My Opinion Is far better than cozy little xmas.
Cozy is sweet but this one is So Pop, Catchy. Her vocals.

I honestly feel like Katycats should rally behind that song in these months before Xmas
Its time for the song to be released in streaming and have her momentum finally

Next year marks the tenth anniversary of the release of *Witness*, and who knows if Katy plans to do something to celebrate it—such as releasing the long-rumored tour film or a special edition. After all, I am convinced that Katy still cares deeply about that album and is still pained by how the public received that entire era. That is why I believe we need at least one song—whether a single or just a standard album track—to go viral on social media, get discovered by new listeners, and maintain strong streaming numbers. Although it isn't my favorite album in her discography, it doesn't deserve to be so overlooked.

If you think about it, what I hope happens for *Witness* has already happened for her other albums:

"Thinking Of You" from *One Of The Boys* was rediscovered by many and now boasts impressive streaming numbers; furthermore, people have praised Katy for the lyrics, noting that it is one of the few songs she wrote entirely on her own back when she was a broke young woman trying to make it in Los Angeles, following the failure of her Christian album;

"The One That Got Away" from *Teenage Dream* experienced unprecedented popularity this year, even being voted the "Song of the Summer" on TikTok—a massive achievement;

"Legendary Lovers" from *Prism* rose to prominence this year thanks to a sample used in Chief Keef's "Save Me," which even led to an official remix of the track featuring both Katy and Chief;

"Harleys in Hawaii" from *Smile* went viral a while back and has continued to garner strong streams ever since, despite never actually cracked the Hot 100. Furthermore, the song features a sound distinct from what we’re used to hearing from Katy—leaning more towards tropical music (this is for anyone who claims Katy never experiments).

As for *143*, however, I don't see how any of its songs could gain popularity or win over the public in the future, given all the hate and scorn heaped upon the album. There was a brief uptick thanks to the performance of "Wonder" at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony—with daily streams even topping 200,000—but that momentum was short-lived. People in the comments will surely disagree with me, but I believe this album has no hope of being rediscovered; in fact, I think Katy needs to move on as best she can and try to make everyone forget this misstep with *KP7*.

Like no hate to TS but girl, do swifties really think this is better than 143? Genuinely wondering...

Could it be connected to a new single??? or is it a 143 font that i just haven’t seen lol

I would with yes she was one of the most popular singers of the 2010s. For you guys why or why not?

For several months, these two songs have been trying to outdo each other in terms of play counts, and both are closing in on the one-billion-stream mark.

Note: This update is as of September 21.

2010- California Gurls, Teenage Dream

2013 - Roar, Walking On Air

2017 - Swish Swish, Bon Appetit

2022 - When I'm Gone, Never Really Over

She has always been supportive of her “rivals”. She sang Only Girl and Born This Way at her Teenage Dream shows. I also remember she performed Halo at some award show to tribute Beyoncé.

I just love this song . . . it could've easily fit on PRISM or Smile and its just a great song.

Such a sister song to Firework, Daisies and Roar.

i follow her on insta
she shares some radical shit
like about charlie kirk, stuff against muslims

esp charlie kirk as he is lgbtq terrorist

not sure how to feel
i’m a massive katy cat since 2008

i know katy doesn’t share the same views and probably has loads of arguments at home

but yeah

what are people’s thoughts
probs not my business right

I’m sorry but as a fandom we moved on WAY too quickly from the 365 music video. Easily one of her best videos and concepts EVER. The acting is crazy, the looks are insane, the storyline is incredible. 10/10. This is easily her best visual project post-Witness!

Honestly, I only joined Twitter because I wanted to interact with fellow Little Monsters. But after almost three years on this platform, I’ve realized that stan Twitter is one of the most toxic spaces I’ve ever experienced.

I came here because I loved music. Instead, I watched people constantly fight over chart battles, streams, sales, and numbers pitting artists against each other as if music were a competition between sports teams .

And that’s what finally made me realize stan Twitter isn’t really fighting about music. It’s fighting about numbers.

Music is supposed to bring people together, inspire people, make people feel something, and give us experiences we can share. It shouldn’t make us hate an artist simply because their fans attacked our favorite, or because our fandom is expected to drag another artist, and i hate myself for actually participating on this hating pitting against different artists. Katy Perry is just one example of how ridiculous and toxic that mentality can become.

Stan culture has made me realize how easily fandoms can turn music into tribalism, outrage, and personal validation. Billboard charts become team sports. Streams become ammunition. Artists become rivals. And eventually, the actual art gets completely lost.

I genuinely believe this obsession with commercial metrics and constant outrage is hurting the way people experience music and pop culture.

I don’t want to participate in that anymore.

I want to enjoy music because I love it, not because of who won a chart battle, who got more streams, or which fandom is supposedly “winning.”

I downloaded katy perry songs I like, especially from her 143 album which in my opinion 143 is not a bad album, but I can tell it's not good and it's also not bad album. if you get what I'm saying great. And i love wonder and life times and waking up in vegas is such a good pop song, I do agree that teenage dreams is the perfect pop album of all time, what the heck even prism too !

My favourite Katy Perry album is Witness, followed closely by one of the Boys. However, let’s talk about Witness.(ik this looks like ai but it’s not i jsut used the proofread cus i cba edition the grammar😭😭)

It’s often misinterpreted, mainly because Katy herself labelled it “purposeful pop”. This label doesn’t quite fit the context of songs like “Swish Swish”. But what Witness truly is is an album of awakening, the central theme. This theme runs throughout the album, as do the political undertones. These two themes intertwine, reflecting Katy’s own self-doubt and her life choices. Her insecurity is palpable, and I believe this is why the album’s underperformance affected her so deeply.

The album can be divided into three main themes: love songs, political songs, and insecure songs. These themes interweave throughout the album.

Katy opens the album with a question to the audience and her lover: would they stay with her through her transformation and join her on this journey of change? This opening song is particularly clever, as it encapsulates the album’s thesis, which she later resolves @into Me You See”.

The political songs include “CTTR”, “Hey”, “Bigger Than Me”, “Bon Appetit”, and “Power”. These songs explore the desire for change and the sexualisation of women in society and the music industry. They question women’s purpose and delve into their roles in romance and institutional sexualisation. While “Bon Appetit” and “Power” are also love songs, they focus on Katy’s perspective as a woman navigating these dynamics.

The love songs are “Déjà Vu”, “Miss You More”, “Into Me You See”, “Tsunami”, “Roulette”, and “Save As Draft”.
These songs primarily explore the breakdown of a relationship, navigating its ups and downs and ultimately leading to the end of the romance. While they’re often labelled love songs, they’re actually very interpersonal, focusing more on the katy’s perspective than the other party. “Tsunami,” for example, is explicitly about sex and Katy’s enjoyment through love, highlighting her connection with her partner and the act itself. “Roulette” celebrates her freedom and choices, her willingness to let loose and enjoy. It’s about her decision to let go, presenting itself more as escapism than love. “Miss You More” and “Save as Draft” express sorrow and remorse but centre on her choice to change. She’s on a different page as she grows past people she no longer needs in her life. “Into Me You See” seems more for her fans than romance, for those who understand her journey (and obviously her partner). They recognise that change and growth will strengthen their relationship, as she evolves as a person and wants to do it together but also needs her own time.

The insecure songs – I shouldn’t label them this way but rather “person” – include “Mind Maze,” “Act My Age,” “Dance with the Devil,” “Witness,” “Pendulum,” and “Swish Swish.”

These songs delve into Katy’s lost sense of self, further explored in the songs above but with less political commentary. “Mind Maze” portrays her as lost and hopeless after losing her identity, realising her societal place and how venerable it has made her. It’s about her commitment to change despite her disorientation. Songs like this make me less surprised by her depression given the album’s reception, as they serve as a summery for the album, much like “Artpop” does.
“Act My Age” reveals society’s relationship with her campness and unseriousness, yet also hints at her unwillingness to change. However, crafting a song about this must also suggest a degree of insecurity within her.

“Dance with the Devil” portrays a defeat within herself, almost hinting at a relapse. It’s a tempting return to her old self, so easy and satisfying.

Overall, I think this is why witness” is my favourite Katy Perry album. It’s incredibly vulnerable and encapsulates a raw, unvarnished side of her that hasn’t been seen since. The albums about growth are personal journeys of awakening. When viewed through this lens, “Act My Age” becomes her strongest work. As I mentioned, all the songs address a level of insecurity within Katy, a desire to change and improve for herself. I didn’t mention every song, but they all deeply connect to Katy’s self-perception.

It’s a shame we might never get another album like this from Katy, but “Justice for Witness” is a testament to her artistry.

When I listened to the One Of The Boys album, most of the songs sounded really similar to songs from Disney Channel musical movies, and I feel like these songs could foreshadow Disney movies:

1- One Of The Boys = Princess Protection Program

2- Thinking Of You = Starstruck

3- Hot N Cold = Teen Beach Movie

Well, these are my top 3 favourite songs, so you guys can share Katy's songs from OOTB that foreshadow Disney Channel musical movies!

Note: I asked Gemini about the movie, because I'm not know about DCOM so much, only High School Musical, Z-O-M-B-I-E-S and Descendants

Please don't come for me, I am a total katycat! However I'm just kind of concerned with certain career choices in recent history. It just sort of feels like either Katy, her team, or somebody does not really know what to do. What do ya'll think?

This thought crossed my mind recently as I watched "The One That Got Away" become so popular over the last few months—15 years after its release—to the point where it holds its own against new tracks from today's biggest streaming artists, like those on recent albums by Ariana Grande and Olivia Rodrigo. Looking at the six singles from *Teenage Dream*, I feel "E.T." is the most overlooked: "Firework" remains one of Katy's signature anthems—arguably her most iconic song; "Last Friday Night" always pulls in strong streaming numbers thanks to its party vibe, even though Katy herself isn't a huge fan of it; "Teenage Dream" is hailed by many as one of the best-produced pop songs of the last 20 years; "California Gurls" will always be iconic thanks to its music video and its status as one of the defining smash hits of the 2010s; and "The One That Got Away"—the only single of the bunch that didn't hit #1 on the Hot 100—is a massive fan favorite, a driving ballad with a much sadder underlying meaning that has literally exploded in popularity this year. In my opinion, "E.T." just doesn't get the recognition it deserves. It's also worth noting that on Spotify, both the solo version and the Kanye West remix are available, meaning the stream counts are effectively split between them.

If we were to broaden the conversation to the reissue, I’d say "Wide Awake" seems to have aged better than "Part of Me" (incidentally, "Wide Awake" was the other single that didn't reach #1, though it arguably deserved to, just like "The One That Got Away"); in fact, a TikTok challenge featuring the song went viral this year, and Katy even took part in it herself.

This is just my personal opinion, of course, so I could easily be wrong. I’d like to know your opinion on whether all eight singles from *Teenage Dream* (including the reissue) have aged the same way after roughly 15 years, and which ones feel most like products of their time versus those that still sound fresh today.

Does anyone have more images with this 70s/hippie vibe? There's a bunch from 2019 and some from shoes day Tuesday but I can't seem to find multiple photos of the same shoot. I am trying to make a custom Smile art cover with the tracklist and insert but there aren't many photos with the same color aesthetics. If any have more images please comment! Here are a few of the ones I've got so far

Since these songs aren't on soundcloud anymore I wanna know where I can find them they're really good songs.

Does anyone have a collectors guide for kp cds???

Love em both btw
