"Woman's World" is a song by American singer Katy Perry. It is set to be released on July 11, 2024, as the lead single from her upcoming seventh studio album. Perry co-wrote the song with Chloe Angelides and its producers Aaron Joseph, Dr. Luke, Rocco Did It Again!, and Vaughn Oliver.

Background and release[edit]

Perry collaborated with Swedish producer Alesso releasing "When I'm Gone" in December 2021, same month where she began hosting a concert residency named Play at the Resorts World Las Vegas for three years straight and received positive critical acclaim.[1] Afterwards in February 2024, she made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! where she announced her exit from the judges' panel for American Idol following the conclusion of the twenty-second season in May, wanting to "go out and feel that pulse to my own beat" and release new music after being "in the studio for a while".[2]

Perry posted a fifteen-second teaser of her lip-syncing the song throughout social media on June 17.[3] The artist also revealed the cover artwork featuring herself in a metallic "alien-like" pants designed by Victor Clavelly with a white bikini top, photographed by Jack Brigdland.[4] The same day, she announced that the song would be released on July 11 and made it available for pre-order and pre-save via her website and various streaming services, with a music video premiering the next day.[5] A week later, Perry arrived at the Hôtel Ritz Paris from a black limo prior for Paris Fashion Week while wearing a red Balenciaga custom dress featuring two trains on June 25.[6] According to Vogue, the outfit's second train is approximately one hundred-yards long showcasing the song's lyrics in white lettering.[7]

The artist later partnered with Japanese electronics company Denon for a wireless earbuds commercial with the upcoming song being teased.[8]

Critical reception[edit]

After the song's announcement, a snippet was released which met with negative criticism describing the lyrics being made from artificial intelligence or as a commercial jingle.[9] Rolling Stone later reported that Perry "reconnected" with various music producers who worked on her third studio album, Teenage Dream (2010).[10] This statement criticized the artist for working with Dr. Luke, who was accused for sexual harassment in defamation lawsuit against American singer Kesha, on a song about female empowerment.[11]
