Katy Perry continues to tease new music ahead of her upcoming album.
On Friday (July 19), the 39-year-old pop superstar shared a 30-second snippet on YouTube of the dance-pop track “Lifetimes,” which will appear on her long-awaited new release, 143.

“I know you feel it/ Can you believe it?/ I’m gonna love you ’til the end and then repeat it,” Perry sings on the Dr. Luke-produced track. “For life/ For life.”
In addition to the YouTube teaser, the singer also shared a brief video of herself dancing along to “Lifetimes” with fans during what appears to be an album preview event.
“143 IS A PARTY AND EVERYONE’S INVITED: SOUND ON,” Perry captioned the clip on Instagram.
143, which is code for “I love you,” is scheduled for release on Sept. 20 through Capitol Records. The forthcoming set marks Perry’s first album since 2020’s Smile, which reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200.
Last weekend, Perry appeared to respond to a wave of criticism for the music video of 143‘s lead single “Woman’s World,” sharing behind-the-scenes clips to explain her intentions for the visual that mixes feminist tropes and lyrics with lots of cheeky visuals.
“YOU CAN DO ANYTHING! EVEN SATIRE!” Perry captioned her Instagram post.
Between criticism that Perry’s song misfired in its attempt to be a feminist anthem and her team-up with track co-producer Dr. Luke — who was accused of sexual misconduct by Kesha before the singer and producer settled a bitter, nine-year legal battle in 2023 before it went to to trial — “Woman’s World” did not appear to land the way the singer intended.
“We’re kind of just having fun being a bit sarcastic with it, it’s very slapstick, and very on the nose,” she says in the first half of the video that seemed to anticipate some potential backlash. “With this set, it’s like, ‘We’re not about the male gaze but we really are about the male gaze,’ and we’re really overplaying it and on the nose because I’m about to get smashed, which is like a reset, a reset for me, and a reset for my idea of feminine divine, and it’s a whole different world we go to after this.”
