Katy Perry returns sooner than we thought to announce her new single and music video, which will be released as soon as next month. Will this top her latest release?

The former American Idol judge has taken strides toward a comeback singing career, including her latest single, “Woman’s World,” which has stirred controversy compared to her old music. With high expectations after being at the top of pop for the majority of the early 2000s, Perry was bound to receive varying feedback as she grew into new eras.

The singer-songwriter took to social media to announce the official date of her next single, “Lifetimes,” out on August 9. This single will be the second release of her long-awaited, upcoming album titled 143. The enticing cover showcases Perry holding a techno heart as it melts across the screen. Could this be hinting at topics of love? With the song’s released snippet, we think yes.

She began promoting her upcoming music on TikTok, allowing fans to dance with excitement to a snippet of “Lifetimes.” The release reveals the upbeat nature of the song, including elements of a house music style, which indicates a new sound for the artist. The released lyrics confirm the romantic nature of the cover, as she sings, “I’ll love you for life, lifetime.”

See below as listeners react to the release and await the upcoming album as they dance to Perry.

The new single will notably be accompanied by a music video, similar to her last release, “Woman’s World.” With her latest music video depicting an American-themed anthem screaming girl power, we wonder what she has in store for the next video. The real question is how this release will compare to the last.

What we do know is that she is bringing new, florescent vibes in her recent covers, as she glows into a new era. Fans await her new releases up until her new album to see how far the comeback will skyrocket up the charts.

Perry teases more singles to her upcoming album, playing snippets in a livestream on social media.
