It’s Katy Perry’s world, and we’re lucky to be living in it. Perry, 39, began her comeback on Thursday, July 11, with a new single and accompanying music video titled “Woman’s World.” The video seemingly in “male gaze” world, where Perry and her group of dancers are dressed in construction work attire.
After taking a bathroom break at a row of urinals, they head back to work as they dance in syncronicity and reveal American flag inspired bejeweled bikinis. “Sexy, confident / So intelligent / She is heaven-sent /So soft, so strong,” Perry sings in the first verse before declaring “It’s a woman’s world and you’re lucky to be living in it” during the chorus. The video then pauses after Perry gets crushed by an anvil and the screen flashes with women-centric video clips.
Perry awakens on a beach and goes off to explore a new era, where women have seemingly taken over the streets. After gassing herself up — literally — she meets up with Trisha Paytas and the twosome take a wild ride in a monster truck. Perry ends the video by performing a Tik Tok with a stranger and flying off in a helicopter, declaring, “I’m Katy Perry.
” The pop star’s latest release comes ahead of her sixth studio album, 143, which she announced earlier this week is set to drop on September 20. 143, which is code for “I Love You,” is Perry’s first new album since 2020’s Smile. Perry previously teased the new song and video to fans via Instagram, sharing album art.
