Legendary pop singer Katy Perry seems to be blaming everyone else but herself for the failure of the pop star’s “Comeback” single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. According to sources, Perry is “scrambling” to formulate a plan to save her upcoming album and create music that would bring her career back to the heights she had seen in previous years. The backlash came from the fact that Perry had worked with controversial music producer Dr. Luke, who has had legal troubles connected to singer Kesha over assault and abuse allegations.
Perry released her newest single, Woman’s World, on July 11th, as a lead single from her upcoming album, 143. The song was created to serve as an empowering song focused on feminism and women’s equality. To Perry’s shock, the single was quickly dismissed and labeled as unoriginal and hypocritical. Fans criticized Perry for the theme of her song being a contradiction to the fact that the song was produced by Dr. Luke, who is a producer and songwriter who had been taken to court in 2014 on the allegations that the producer abused Tik Tok singer Kesha both physically and emotionally during the early years of the singer’s career.
Perry also received backlash for the nature of the video released along with the single, which had explicit themes throughout it. Woman’s World plummeted down the iTunes charts in the U.S. within a week after being released, with reports that Perry has demanded her writing team go back to the “drawing board” and devise a song to prevent her upcoming album from suffering the same fate as its lead single.
An unnamed source who took a deep dive into the background production and writing of Perry’s latest single to prove further the singer’s contradictions revealed to the Daily Mail media outlet that the song Woman’s World, was almost entirely produced and written by male individuals in the industry.
