Katy Perry's 'Woman's World' Debuts at No. 63

Katy Perry's comeback single 'Woman's World' debuted at a disappointing No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100 and faced significant backlash for its perceived feminist messaging and association with controversial producer Dr. Luke. Critics noted that the music video aimed for satire but was largely misinterpreted, leading to claims that it catered to the male gaze. The song's performance has drawn comparisons to Perry's past successes, highlighting a decline since her peak years, with her last major hit being 'Chained to the Rhythm' in 2017. 'Woman's World' also entered the UK chart at No. 47 and had modest streaming numbers, peaking at No. 58 globally on Spotify. Despite the negative reception, Perry defended the project as a fun and sarcastic take on femininity. Her upcoming album '143' is set to be released on September 20, 2023.
