Katy Perry is set to release her new single “Woman’s World” on Thursday night, ahead of her upcoming sixth studio album “143” which drops on September 20. The song is a female empowerment anthem celebrating women’s strength and influence in the modern world.
The lyrics, which Katy Perry teased by wearing them on a 500-foot dress at Paris Fashion Week, include lines like “It’s a woman’s world and you’re lucky to be living in it” and “She’s a winner, champion, superhuman, number one”. The music video, released on July 12, features Perry embodying the spirit of Rosie the Riveter and includes cameos from YouTube star Trisha Paytas.

However, the song has generated some controversy due to its production by Dr. Luke, who has been accused of sexual assault by Kesha. Fans have criticized the apparent hypocrisy of a female empowerment song being made with someone accused of abuse. Kesha herself released a new single “Joyride” on July 4, rumored to be a response to Perry’s collaboration with Dr. Luke.
Despite the backlash, “Woman’s World” marks Katy Perry’s highly anticipated return to music after a two-year hiatus, with the album “143” described as having “a lot of heart – and a lot of BPM”. The single and video have elicited a mix of excitement and criticism from fans and viewers.
