She considers 143 her symbolic “angel number,” a guiding sign that she’s on the right path, particularly during challenging times in her family life.

Background and Inspiration:

Following the release of her 2020 album Smile, Katy Perry took a step back from the spotlight. By August 2023, she was back, announcing her new music project during an appearance on Good Morning America. Perry described working from a “place of love,” which is evident throughout 143.

Collaborating with both old and new producers—including Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Stargate, Vaughn Oliver, and Rocco Did It Again!—Perry crafted a euphoric “dance party” album. The high-energy beats and summer-ready vibes are sure to uplift fans worldwide. Perry herself teased the album as “super high BPM” and filled with “so much joy, so much love, so much light.” Not only that, but she’s already hinted at an acoustic follow-up album.

Collaborations and Guest Features:

143 is filled with exciting collaborations. German singer Kim Petras joins Perry on the infectious track “Gorgeous,” while rap stars JID, 21 Savage, and Doechii bring their own flavor to tracks like “Artificial” and “I’m His, He’s Mine.” The latter track features a sample from Crystal Waters’ iconic “Gypsy Woman,” giving it a nostalgic yet fresh twist.

The album was preceded by three singles:

• “Woman’s World” (July 11, 2024): The lead single is a feminist anthem that, despite its powerful message, has faced backlash for its perceived “dated” sound and commercial struggles. It peaked at #63 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #47 in the UK.
• “Lifetimes” (August 8, 2024): Accompanied by a stunning yet controversial music video shot in the Balearic Islands, this track highlights Perry’s signature uplifting sound. The controversy, related to alleged environmental violations during filming, added to the song’s rocky performance on the charts.
• “I’m His, He’s Mine” (September 13, 2024): Featuring Doechii, this vibrant track samples the 90s hit “Gypsy Woman” and brings a sultry energy to the album.
