Birthday and Walking on Air are the two takeaways for me from this album so I'm not mad I'll be hearing this on the radio instead of Black Horse.

Quite like the new single but the new video is just horrible. Think it's a huge misfire on every level.

yeah the video doesn't really work at all. it'll be a good radio jam anyway.
― dyl, Thursday, 24 April 2014 18:45 (ten years ago) link
tbf even with at least a handful of good/tolerable singles, "Teenage Dream" is still pretty much her only video that isn't embarrassing on several levels

Still can't deal w her voice. Very yelpy

dating someone THAT famous seems like a minefield, i can't really fault anyone for trying to maintain some control and discretion tbh

"American Girl" was nothing if not excruciating (and "nothing" is a viable option)

with karmin and that violin star and etc. its like now that she went indie after not breaking on a major she's hanging with a whole bunch of youtube-famous viral ppl. i like the california winter single itself, but also generally bonnie mckee is a very boring lyricist.
― big WHOIS aka the nameserver (s.clover), Saturday, 9 January 2016 00:52 (eight years ago) link
the karmin performance is even by the standards of karmin performance something.. else
― big WHOIS aka the nameserver (s.clover), Saturday, 9 January 2016 00:54 (eight years ago) link
don't like the treatment of the vocals on that holiday song, otherwise I would have dug it (if I'd heard it at the appropriate time)

Doesn't a New Jersey require its singles to be hits though?

it will probably fall off the chart next week then re-enter for one more week after the video drops before falling off again. i wonder how embarrassed and/or panicked the ppl at capitol are right now.

it's sorta crazy anyone involved heard that and was like "this is the song we need to save our suddenly flagging new album rollout"... maybe it was just the migos feature
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 9 May 2017 22:21 (seven years ago) link
This really was an odd choice for a single but I did think it would still do fairly well based on her name alone. I still think Chained To The Rhythm is a great song.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 9 May 2017 22:27 (seven years ago) link
Love the music, but the vocals and lyric are TERRIBLE (and I really liked "Chained to the Rhythm" overall). The Migo rap is the best sounding vocal part.
― Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 02:52 (seven years ago) link
that migos song is good as hell
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 10 May 2017 03:17 (seven years ago) link
beat's great, melodies great, its a hit record
>>>>> t-shirt
i mean.... it's not gonna be a hit record lol
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 10 May 2017 03:27 (seven years ago) link
you can stump for it as a song for whatever reason but it's already a flop basically
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 10 May 2017 03:31 (seven years ago) link
idk sure sounds like one to me
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 10 May 2017 03:32 (seven years ago) link
has radio even pushed it yet? katy perry isn't exactly the kind of artist whose songs hit no. 1 out the gate right?
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 10 May 2017 03:35 (seven years ago) link
?
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 10 May 2017 03:35 (seven years ago) link
are we talking about the same katy perry?
idk i dont follow her shit, i usually dont like her songs and then sometimes i do (teenage dream or w/e), this seems like a perfectly good summer record to me, but then im not invested in katy perry as a 'star'
maybe her star is falling cuz its the woke era or something, i dont really get what the problem would be w/ this single though, shit is catchy as hell
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 10 May 2017 03:37 (seven years ago) link
for comparison, "chained to the rhythm" debuted at #4. "bon appetit" debuted at #76.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 10 May 2017 03:37 (seven years ago) link
i wonder if its similar to that effect w/ albums where people judge your single off the success of the last one
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 10 May 2017 03:39 (seven years ago) link
Katy Perry, a real dark horse on the Billboard charts.... not
― skip, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 03:39 (seven years ago) link
the song is good enough imo that it feels like momentum would *really* have to be moving against her career in general for that not to do something
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 10 May 2017 03:40 (seven years ago) link
that's possible, but "chained to the rhythm" was only a flop in the context of katy perry insofar as it didn't hit #1 and stay there for weeks. it did fine otherwise tho.
another aspect is that they're going w/ the old school model of choosing specific pre-release singles w/ the album still months away, whereas i.e. bruno mars had a little trouble finding a second single after "24k magic" but the album was timed to where they were able to look at streaming data while "24k magic" was still on the charts, which led to the elevation of "that's what i like" as a people's choice pick that the label eventually got behind
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 10 May 2017 03:43 (seven years ago) link
"that's possible" is re the idea that this single is flopping bcuz "chained to the rhythm" also underperformed
