Katy Perry Unveils “Lifetimes” Video Ahead of New Album 143
Katy Perry is lighting up the music scene once more. After the release of last month’s “Woman’s World,” the pop star has rolled out a new single, “Lifetimes,” complete with a music video. Directed by the innovative Stillz, known for his collaborations with Bad Bunny, the video encapsulates the emotional depth and storytelling flair Perry is celebrated for. You can watch the video below.
A Glimpse into 143
“Lifetimes” serves as the second single from Perry’s anticipated album 143, set to release on September 20. The track was crafted by pop production heavyweights Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald and Vaughn Oliver, marking another chapter in Perry’s enduring collaboration with Dr. Luke—a partnership that’s produced numerous chart-toppers over the years and, more recently, controversy.
143, Perry’s sixth studio album, follows her 2020 release Smile, an album that explored themes of resilience and optimism. With 143, Perry is expected to delve deeper into personal narratives, combining her signature pop sound with introspective lyrics. The title itself, a nod to the pager code for “I love you,” hints at themes of love and connection—subjects that Perry has touched on in past hits but promises to explore with renewed depth in this new project.
