Katy Perry has been teasing her return for quite some time, and she just made things official. She announced the release of her seventh studio album 143, and dropped the music video for its lead single “Women’s World”.
After sharing several snippets of “Women’s World” on social media in recent weeks, she dropped the Charlotte Rutherford-directed visual on July 11. The singer wears Rosie the Riveter-inspired outfit throughout the video, drives a monster truck with Trisha Paytas, and tries to do a TikTok dance with a young woman before flying away on a helicopter.
“Women’s World” has been released as the lead single from Perry’s upcoming album 143 and she released an EP with several different versions of the song in an attempt to increase its chart success. This strategy doesn’t seem to be working after many critics described “Women’s World” as outdated and reductive, but Perry defended herself by describing it as satirical.
“Women’s World” set the stage for her upcoming album 143, and its title is inspired by her lucky number which stands as a code for “I love you.” She described it as a dance party that everyone’s invited to and announced it’s hitting the shelves on September 20 via Capitol Records.
