The aesthetic of the song is great. I love the atmosphere of it all and am hope it is indicative of the direction she is heading toward with this new album. On the negative end though, I don't think the melody/vocal really excels over the arrangment/supporting elements. There are also two notes which sound identical to those in that "Boom Clap" song which I thought was dreadful.

Anyways, have a good feeling for this album. This single is miles better than Roar which truly is probably my most hated song she has ever released (actually I take that back, Dark Horse is the worst).

I really like CTTR and the message. It's political but not in your face which I appreciate. If Katy is going full on 80s synthpop for this album, I'm here for it.

I am with many of you. I like Prism but not crazy about it. Prism does not have WOW effects like Teenage Dream but the album is better than One of the Boys

Hopefully the new album will have some WOW effects.

I don't love the new song, but it's not bad either. It might grow on me eventually. :laugh

I didn't like it all, well never been a fan of her and she sounds bad live imo the last song of her that I kinda like it was The one that got away :rolleyes

Song is underperforming sadly

I enjoy it, though it's a bit surprising for the main single.
But using it as a hype single could be beneficial. Dropping a much heavier hitting song after might be better for sales, as opposed to the opposite.

The lyric video is brilliant.

I think the new Song is really good ... nice for my workout ...

@Cahz-: Not really... http://ew.com/music/2017/02/11/katy-...eaming-record/

The song is okay, nothing really special. I wish it was a solo song, not a featuring.

I saw her new haircut. I dont like it. She looks like Miley Cyrus.

Is there a Release Date for her new Album? Or will she release another Single?

I want to see you work out .... I pay for that.


This song has too much politics for most people. I hope she can have some fun and positive songs, similar to California Gurls...

I love Chained to the Rhythm. Excited for the new album.

Bon Appétit is meeeeh .... nothing special! She needs a big hit, otherwise her album will flop hard!

I think it's an interesting track. No doubt it's song 1,000,000,000,000,000+ X better than the hot piece of steaming shit that was DARK HORSE. That song is absolute garb—vastly vapid in all respects. Not to mention listening to Roar was on par with having a bit drilled into the temple of my head. I dislike the rap on this song and am sick of the "featured" tracks - but the silky smooth production of this track creates a unique and enjoyable atmosphere that I approve of.

I prefer she has meh single tracks before her new album release.

Many times artists have shitty single tracks before their new album release. Once when they release their new album, the better tracks in the album stand out and they are over meh shitty tracks.

Oh Dark Horse and Roar.. I could still jam to those tracks. I rather have songs like that than that Parachute song for instance.

I liked Bon Appetit, but Chained To The Rythmn is life.

Katy Perry used to be one of my favorites but Prism was a let down for me. I do love a small handful of tracks though.
These last two songs are not having an impact on me sadly.
I think I am just over all these pop divas over saturating the American music scene the last few years.:no

She needs to have some strong lyrics.

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

PRISM was pretty flawless to me tbh. Chained to the Rhythm had to grow on me.
