Remember when Katy Perry told her fellow kids to get ready to pop off? Well, the day has finally come for us to pop off to the corporate team-building exercise where our male co-workers are reminded that their non-male counterparts know where the HR office is.
As much as some hoped this upcoming Katy Perry era would break her flop curse, early teasers of "Woman's World" weren't promising. Unfortunately, the full version is even less redeeming, with any glimmer that the singer was going the club pop route smashed. The only thing matching Perry's robotic Mr. Tumnus getup is how much the song feels like it was manufactured on an assembly line.
We should take this opportunity to celebrate, if only because this is a massive L for Dr. Luke. I wouldn't be the first to point out that a song about being a girl's girl being produced by the man who kept Kesha locked in a contract after she accused him of sexual assault is darkly ironic. Anyway, stream "JOYRIDE!"
The music video is about as deep as the surface-level Tumblr feminism "Woman's World" touts, with Perry appearing as Rosie the Riveter while drinking "Woman's whiskey." Considering her reputation with the elderly, one can't help but wonder if Perry knows Rosie is from the '40s. Watch it below.
