It's being rumoured that 'Bon Appetite' will be the second single from KP4. Sounds like another great track based on that snippet! She's really bringing it this era. *.*
I'd release this within the next month tbh. 'Chained To The Rhythm' is still doing well worldwide but beginning to fall (it's down to #43 on UK Spotify due to the drake album).
Posted by: Josh. 20th March 2017, 08:40 PM
Uh really, I was going to say please tell me that title isn't real (DREADFUL TITLE) but then the clip kind of confirms it and the track itself sounds even worse. CTTR grew a lot but it's still one of her weakest singles for me and this just sounds like a big misfire. I hope it'll be good because she rarely disappoints but the clip doesn't fill me up with a lot of hope 
Posted by: Peenus Fly Trap 20th March 2017, 08:41 PM
I thought it was Deja Vu?
Thw snippet of Deja sounda good, but her use of 'definition of insane' is that f***in stupid one attributed to Einstein. Um he never said that. And also trying again and again is NOT insane. It can actually be quite healthy - i.e training.
Posted by: Cameron 20th March 2017, 08:41 PM
this is gonna be a raunchy song *.*
Posted by: Juliano 22nd March 2017, 02:54 PM
This sounds good, I've got a feeling I'm gonna love this track, I think she's just slowly revealing snippets on her social media though, I don't know if it will be a single.
Posted by: slowdown73 23rd March 2017, 10:55 PM
I'm hoping this will be stronger than chained to the rhythm which isn't a bad song but my least favourite lead single by far.
Posted by: Peenus Fly Trap 23rd March 2017, 11:14 PM
Omg, THIS!!
Posted by: Josh. 23rd March 2017, 11:22 PM
I'm a bit of an odd hater of IKAG so I can't fully agree but as much as I like it, it is very disappointing considering I far prefer California Gurls and Roar were her past two lead singles, I think this just misses that massively catchy hook although I appreciate that she was going for something else with CTTR.
The clip and title haven't exactly got me hyped though...
Posted by: RobBob 23rd March 2017, 11:24 PM
Yeah, I'm happy for her going for something else with the first single but I must admit I'm hoping for an absolute belter of a Roar kind of chorus with her second single. No issue with Bon Appetite as a title, at least it's not generic and a title has never harmed anything. I raised an eyebrow at Ciao Adios but it's a bonafide bop.
Posted by: Cody Viall 23rd March 2017, 11:26 PM
I'm going to LOVE this era
Posted by: Andrew. 23rd March 2017, 11:41 PM
Everything is pointing to the era being KILLER. All of her albums have been tbh!
Posted by: Josh. 23rd March 2017, 11:51 PM
That's true! I was eye rolling at that title too but it is a huge jam. Maybe I'm too quick to judge and we will get a real pop smasha like Roar or Teenage Dream. Here's hoping!!!1
Posted by: Peenus Fly Trap 23rd March 2017, 11:55 PM
I think this album sounds like disco through and through :/
Disco is over.
Remember Heartbreak on Hold, the last experiment with a disco album?? :///

Disco is over.
Remember Heartbreak on Hold, the last experiment with a disco album?? :///
The lead single from the album has been a huge top 10 hit though.
Posted by: Peenus Fly Trap 24th March 2017, 12:20 AM
A moderate hit tbh that will be outpaced by Ciao Adios...
Posted by: RobBob 24th March 2017, 01:07 AM
I don't get this comparison at all? Chained To The Rhythm was an instant hit, top 10 from the very first week. Ciao Adios took time to build because it's airplay has only just picked up and it's been reduced to 59p, there's no real comparison because they've both becomes hits at different stages in their time span.
Posted by: RobBob 24th March 2017, 03:11 AM
Hearing a few people here and there say this might be featuring Ariana Grande, not entirely sure why.
Posted by: River Lea 24th March 2017, 03:50 AM
It sounds catchy, I can't wait to hear it in full.
Posted by: Tinasha 24th March 2017, 12:49 PM
We already know there's probably one song featuring Ari, so maybe this is that one?
Posted by: Liаm 24th March 2017, 01:07 PM
Omg that would SLAY *.*
Posted by: Juliano 25th March 2017, 12:33 AM
...Well now I'm listening.
Posted by: Andrew. 25th March 2017, 01:00 AM
Definitely here for an Ariana feature! *.* I think having Ari on the second single would really help it therefore giving a good launch to the album.
Posted by: Tinasha 24th April 2017, 02:16 PM
Just got this sent to my email from her mailer.
Friday?

This is gonna be a bop, I can feel it *.*

Not sure why but this made me laugh really hard
So excited for this!

Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 25th April 2017, 09:17 PM
I AM NOT READY !!
Posted by: Andrew♀ 25th April 2017, 09:24 PM
I'd guessed there's be an Ariana collaboration based on the symbols thing she did with the bunny ears but I didn't think we'd get it as the second single *.* Yassss
Posted by: mdh 25th April 2017, 09:28 PM
This could be a #1 debut now, no?
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 25th April 2017, 09:30 PM
OMG YASSSS! So ready for this!! <3
Posted by: Liаm 25th April 2017, 09:31 PM
JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH I AM NOT READY
Posted by: Tippin Virginia 25th April 2017, 09:34 PM
WHERE DID YOU HEAR THIS?!
Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌊 25th April 2017, 09:49 PM
Wait! Is Ariana Grande confirmed on "Bon Appétit"? 
I only thought it was a rumour.
Posted by: danG 25th April 2017, 09:52 PM
I just hope they don't try to outsing each other like Jessie and Ari in 'Bang Bang'. Otherwise, I'm excited.
Posted by: Tippin Virginia 25th April 2017, 10:14 PM
Ew at that screech-off, like that Screech ft Screech Russ from Open Our Mouths Too Much band in their screech off!!
But Katy hasn't got a loud voice - it's more of a soft voice, so she won't try to compete.
Posted by: Liаm 25th April 2017, 10:37 PM
Lmao as if Katy could even attempt to outsing Ari !!!
Posted by: Tippin Virginia 25th April 2017, 10:57 PM
Yes, as she has a soft voice.
Posted by: Jonjo 26th April 2017, 12:51 AM
I think their voices will be great together and will compliment each other nicely. In a similar way to the Miley Cyrus/Ariana duet!
SO excited for this now. 
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 26th April 2017, 06:33 PM
Ooooh ooh oooooh! Excite.
'Chained To The Rhythm' is alright and all, but I want something PROPERLY great for the second single please.
Posted by: A🐱🐱y! 26th April 2017, 06:44 PM
The snippet sounds great and huge!!!
Posted by: jase. 26th April 2017, 07:33 PM
'Chained' was a good second/third single so I'm HOPING this is the absolute pop banger we all know she's capable of!
Posted by: RobBob 26th April 2017, 07:46 PM
Absolutely!
SO freaking hyped for this.
Posted by: HausofIRNBRU 26th April 2017, 08:12 PM
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 26th April 2017, 08:17 PM
That artwork is awful 
But yeah apparently Ariana was replaced last minute with Migos, what a downgrade :')
Posted by: Tippin Virginia 26th April 2017, 08:23 PM
LMAO WHAT!!WHYYY!!
That artwork is a single killer.
This is giving me huuge Artflop teas.
Posted by: cqmerqn 26th April 2017, 08:28 PM
LOL
Posted by: danG 26th April 2017, 08:39 PM
Wait Ariana was just a rumour and it's actually Migos on it? Even more excited for this now!!
I realise I'm in the minority here but it's great to see Migos get another prominent feature.
Posted by: mdh 26th April 2017, 08:48 PM
omg that's brilliant
All the stans will be so disappointed x
Posted by: Andrew♀ 26th April 2017, 08:58 PM
I have no problem with Migos but when you compare that with an Ariana collab :') That artwork ;o
Posted by: Brer 26th April 2017, 09:06 PM
But Katy hasn't got a loud voice - it's more of a soft voice, so she won't try to compete.
This!!!
Posted by: Jonjo 26th April 2017, 09:07 PM
Why on Earth would they "downgrade" to Migos from Ariana, last minute?! That's so bizarre. Maybe Ariana's camp changed their mind? (I still believe she was meant to feature on 'Touch' by Little Mix, but that info got leaked early too (just like this) :')
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 26th April 2017, 09:27 PM
Crushed.
Crushed again by the artwork.
Posted by: Cremey 26th April 2017, 09:38 PM
The artwork is GREAT and I'm excited by the Migos feature, even if I'm in the minority :')
I'm sure an Ariana feature would've been a more obvious hit though!
Posted by: jase. 26th April 2017, 09:45 PM
Well my excitement levels went from 100 to pretty much 0 I'd love to know what actually happened with Ariana because there's no way you "downgrade" from her to Migos I mean, Kanye or Jay-Z, I suppose I'd kinda get it...but MIGOS?!!
Posted by: Cremey 26th April 2017, 09:49 PM
Was Ari even confirmed? Could've just been a rumour...
Migos are huuuge in the US right now and they're having an amazing year, way more exciting than a Jay-Z feature would be, definitely
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 26th April 2017, 10:06 PM
Yep I'm with Jase. Really hyped for this and now it's just completely dropped 
Posted by: Jonjo 26th April 2017, 10:10 PM
I'm sure it'll still deliver, but I had my hypes up a bit too much for Ari! Haha. </3
I'll get over it in an hour. Looking forward to it still
Posted by: J▲hq 26th April 2017, 10:26 PM
I'll join you in liking the artwork. I think it's colourful and fun :')
Posted by: Tippin Virginia 26th April 2017, 10:27 PM
I agree with Brer tbh -will be crap.
Posted by: Davidson 26th April 2017, 11:08 PM
A bunch of black men reaching for a white woman serving herself up on a platter. Who on earth thought this was a good idea???
As for that Annie Lennox haircut too.
Posted by: Jonjo 27th April 2017, 12:34 AM
I assume it's Migos who are the hands?
Posted by: HausofIRNBRU 27th April 2017, 06:44 AM
Why does the colour of their skin have anything to do with it?
I was excited as anyone for Ariana (Katy has tweeted that it was never true, always a rumour/fake news) but I'm still so excited for new Katy so bring this on, crap artwork or not ~
Posted by: Atonement 27th April 2017, 06:57 AM
I like the artwork. The preview of the song also sounded good.
I'm just a bit confused about this supposedly woke popstar working together with a group that made a homophobic statement.
Posted by: ~josh~ 27th April 2017, 07:39 AM
Yeah, it is a shame about the Ariana feature. I like cheesy Katy but everything from the snippet, title, lyrics tease and artwork is just TOO cheesy for me and the Ariana feature was all that had me hyped. Migos are like the least interesting rappers around too, they could've gotten anyone else! Even Fetty Wap or someone
Posted by: Liаm 27th April 2017, 09:32 AM
f***ING MIGOS
Ffs I was so excited for Ari but I suppose it was a bit too good to be true.
Posted by: Andrew♀ 27th April 2017, 07:37 PM
If that's the case then that eases the disappointment a bit (like if she'd replaced Ariana with them then I'd probably have gone bad
) but still less hyped ngl. The snippet is now deleted but it sounded good from what I remember, so we'll just have to hold out hope~
Posted by: #Justice4HeMo 27th April 2017, 07:41 PM
MIGOS?!?!?!
This is going to be the most hated single on here
Posted by: jjake 28th April 2017, 01:41 AM
the preview sounded like full ON summer anthem
expecting a massive tune
Posted by: jjake 28th April 2017, 01:41 AM
why are bj so full of natural dread for migos? i can't recall a song of theirs
Posted by: jjake 28th April 2017, 02:08 AM
AS IF she's congratulating nonsensical stans for baking actual cherry pies, lattices and all
know a metaphor, this isn't mary besza
Posted by: Rob Spears 28th April 2017, 05:41 AM
Even worse than CTTR if that's possible. 
Posted by: cqmerqn 28th April 2017, 05:59 AM
This is awwwwful
Posted by: awardinary 28th April 2017, 06:09 AM
Can't believe I put this at the top of my hype chart!
The worst thing Katy has ever released for sure.
Posted by: #Justice4HeMo 28th April 2017, 06:13 AM
Official Audio:
Why isn't the entire thing like the last minute of the song? It feels sort of incomplete saying all that.
Just as expected, everyone here hates this song, which means the general public will lap this up.
Posted by: Tinasha 28th April 2017, 06:20 AM
Not as instant as CTTR for sure but the production is great!
To think the initial reaction here is worse than Rise...
Posted by: jjake 28th April 2017, 06:27 AM
it takes a while to get going doesn't it? 🦃
Posted by: HausofSZA 28th April 2017, 06:41 AM
It's ok but a bit nothingy. Sort of catchy?
Will give it time but atm I'm not loving it.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 28th April 2017, 06:52 AM
f*** me, what is she thinking with this?
Posted by: Cremey 28th April 2017, 06:54 AM
Really liking this. Nothing amazing on first listen but definitely one I'll be listening to a lot 💃🏼
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 28th April 2017, 06:54 AM
This is disappointing af
Rise is way better than this on 1st listen and I actually think I'll still think that in a few months as well, this doesn't sound like it'll grow at all
Posted by: ~josh~ 28th April 2017, 07:15 AM
Omg this is a mess, takes ages to get going and is hardly catchy, just cringey! Can't believe she went to this after the interesting lyrics on CTTR.
Posted by: mdh 28th April 2017, 07:35 AM
No idea what to think of this. It's not particularly good, but I wouldn't call it bad either.
Posted by: Tippin Virginia 28th April 2017, 07:50 AM
#psychicbeaverandbrer
The preview sounded crap. So does the whole song.
If these disco songs are the best shehas to offer rn, then this is truly her artflop.
Didn't even listen to the whole thing, so beige.
Posted by: Klaus 28th April 2017, 08:00 AM
I WANT MORE WOKE POP.
Its alright, just not something I see myself returning too. Odd that she's gone for two featured rappers for both pre-album releases toooo.
Posted by: Liаm 28th April 2017, 08:42 AM
The chorus is catchy... It's not bad but it's certainly not a pre-album single to build the campaign :/ I really can't see this being a hit at all, I do love the production though. It sort of feels like it should be random electronic producer ft. Katy Perry & Migos and be a one-off single rather than her own single.
Posted by: l♀tita 28th April 2017, 09:09 AM
im heartbroken this isn't woke :'(
Posted by: l♀tita 28th April 2017, 09:11 AM

awful
Posted by: blacksquare 28th April 2017, 09:41 AM
Didn't she literally do an interview last week about being over faceless pop without a 'message?'
Posted by: Andrew♀ 28th April 2017, 10:13 AM
This is one of her weakest singles ever, how could she follow up the infinite bop CTTR with this? Don't even think Ariana could save it
Posted by: Tinasha 28th April 2017, 10:26 AM
Can't wait for y'all to catch up and be bopping in a month
Posted by: liamk97 28th April 2017, 10:34 AM
I too am a bit undecided. As others have said, the chorus production is very good but it does take a good 2 minutes to get going and it doesn't seem like a solid pre-album release. I could definitely see it growing and becoming a right bop when out in the club, but I'm just so used to Katy Perry delivering instantly catchy songs.
Posted by: J▲hq 28th April 2017, 10:55 AM
Sounds like the worst thing she's ever pushed as a single quite easily and doesn't sound like a hit. Who gave this the go-ahead?
Posted by: Davidson 28th April 2017, 11:25 AM
This won't be a hit but I really love it.
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 28th April 2017, 11:38 AM
Surprised by how negative the reaction here seems to be! First listen I was a bit unsure but second listen it's a total bop, not one of her best but very addictive.
Posted by: Davidson 28th April 2017, 11:43 AM
Yeah, I feel like I am gonna be one of the only ones stanning for this.
I think it's a complete jam. That chorus is so yummy.
Posted by: Jordan Lee 28th April 2017, 11:45 AM
This is isn't really to my taste But at the same time this album at least sounds a bit different from what she's done before and I can only credit her for that. Definitely think we're gonna get single 3 before the album now though.
Posted by: Tinasha 28th April 2017, 11:47 AM
I think it's a complete jam. That chorus is so yummy.
I'm here for it too.
It's weird because I remember everyone here loving Rise and me being the only one who disliked it, so it's the opposite situation for me.
I feel like with any artist, when we're used to a certain formula from them, people find it a bit jarring when they release something a bit different to their usual output, I do think people will change their minds somewhat here (unless it flops badly, I know what BJ is like
)
Posted by: Cremey 28th April 2017, 12:04 PM
I'm loving it too. So catchy.
Can't wait for the video too, it suits a really fun, colourful California Gurls/This is How We Do style video which Katy always does so well.
Posted by: RobBob 28th April 2017, 12:47 PM
I don't think it's a wise single choice and it's one of her least instant for me but that aside, this is SO addictive. No matter what style she experiments with, she never ever loses an earworm of a chorus which makes everything she does have such a replayable factor. This is the same, it really delivers as a grower and I love Katy when she's naughtier like this <3
Too much hate
Posted by: ~josh~ 28th April 2017, 12:47 PM
OK maybe I was a little harsh because it is growing and the chorus is fairly catchy. The rap verse is rly forgettable tho and the song does take too long to get into the swing of things, it is a bit of a disappointment after CTTR.
Do we think this genuinely has a shot at being a hit? I think it's going to be a massive flop tbh as it is kinda messy (but then Swalla is currently s huge hit so not that matters ) and I'm worried for her chances of a hit single/album following this as we've seen with Gaga how quickly radio can drop you. I know it sounds really pessimistic but I just don't feel confident that it's the huge hit that she could've done with at this stage in the campaign
Posted by: Cremey 28th April 2017, 12:53 PM
Heard 'boner petit' once and can't unhear it now 🙃
Posted by: ~josh~ 28th April 2017, 12:55 PM
Maybe the song is disguised as a dig at Russell Brand's tiny penis or something

I know it sounds really pessimistic but I just don't feel confident that it's the huge hit that she could've done with at this stage in the campaign It doesn't sound like an obvious hit, I can see it doing similarly to Zayn's Still Got Time.
Posted by: Scene 28th April 2017, 01:07 PM
Considering her last second single was Unconditionally, Bon Appetit should be hailed as a success. 
In all seriousness, I think it's a definite grower, whereas CTTR was mega instant.

is this true?!?!/1!? *stans quick*
Posted by: l♀tita 28th April 2017, 01:27 PM
i really want to love this because i love the disco sound and despite not being really enthusiastic about this yet, it hasn't dampened my excitement for the album as a whole!
Posted by: Joe. 28th April 2017, 01:27 PM
Yeah, people were calling Chained a flop, saying her hair was ugly and that BA was going to flop. She wiped a tear and said "i'm alright"
Posted by: danG 28th April 2017, 01:39 PM
I'm liking this, I agree it's not as good as 'Chained' but it's not half as bad as people here are making out.
Posted by: LustForLife 28th April 2017, 02:29 PM
It's not very instant, it's just a bit there. It doesn't really go anywhere! A huge disappointment after CTTR
Posted by: Atonement 28th April 2017, 02:33 PM
I agree with the people who say that they like it but that it doesn't really go anywhere and takes a while to get going. I feel like it's missing something. The chorus is nice but could use a more explosive production. The verses are underwhelming.
Posted by: Catderella 28th April 2017, 02:35 PM
Isn't the message of the song clear enough?

I like it more than CTTR
But I agree that chorus from 2:15>>>>>the rest of track.
Posted by: A🐱🐱y! 28th April 2017, 03:00 PM
oh and just checked itunes positions (I know it's irrelevant these days lol) but seems like it got a very slow start
Posted by: Tippin Virginia 28th April 2017, 03:05 PM
She is over tbh. No wonder she is crying. She has realised, like GaGa, she can't put out any ol crap after a long break, have awful styling and pretentiousness and expect to still be huge.
Who'd have thought in 2013 that 3 years later Katy and GaGa would be little more relevant than Britney and Christina, but with GaGa having the Britney hits still!
This is her Art Flop.
Posted by: Andrew♀ 28th April 2017, 03:10 PM
Do we think this genuinely has a shot at being a hit? I think it's going to be a massive flop tbh as it is kinda messy (but then Swalla is currently s huge hit so not that matters

It's nowhere near CTTR and yeah it won't be huge but it's GOOD. Feel so bad for her!
Posted by: A🐱🐱y! 28th April 2017, 03:11 PM
this serves her for making fun of Britney's breakdown etc etc.
Posted by: Andrew♀ 28th April 2017, 03:13 PM
Oh god not this again
Posted by: Tippin Virginia 28th April 2017, 03:17 PM
Agreed tbh. It teaches her a valuable lesson about how it is NECESSARY for popstars to stay in the public eye and on the radar of big producers/ ear to the pop ground. Sitting at home baking pies didn't work for Nelly and it didn't work for Katy!
Posted by: Jade 28th April 2017, 03:19 PM
This is terrible what a disappointment after 'Chained To The Rhythm' was so good.

Can kinda see myself loving it eventually!
Posted by: Addy K!ng 28th April 2017, 04:18 PM
It seems like we will get another single before we catch up and bop to this
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 28th April 2017, 05:04 PM
I don't see how CTTR could conceivably be called a flop?
I do however think this is the moment it all starts to go disastrously wrong for her.
Posted by: Liаm 28th April 2017, 06:52 PM
Yeah this is growing on me exponentially *.* It's a bop but I really can't see it doing anything other than bombing It'll get to like #25.
Posted by: Atonement 28th April 2017, 06:53 PM
Eeh it seems to be really underperforming everywhere on iTunes. She should pull the plug on this single.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 28th April 2017, 06:55 PM
I'm a bit worried she won't even have anything else better up her sleeve.

I really think the inevitable hot mess of a video will be what pushes it up the chart, so until then I think it'll flounder for a couple of weeks.
Posted by: Tippin Virginia 28th April 2017, 06:57 PM
She should do a GaGa and switch NOW and call it a buzztrack.
However, after Rise, CTTR now this, this is probably her best on offer atm!!
If that's the case, do a Rita, scrap it and go back to the studio and keep everyone waiting a little while longer. She is crying as she knows this album is not up to scratch.
Posted by: l♀tita 28th April 2017, 07:28 PM
i don't understand how her "looks" are coming into anything at all? i think she's looked amazing this era (not that that should even matter anyway!)

Of course her looks matter. They shouldn't but they do. She's a popstar, not a ''real'' musician like Ed Sheeran or Adele. It basically defines how marketable she is.
Yeah, her days as a huge popstar are most likely over
. I still blame the long waiting period between 'Prism' and this new album.

It really gives me 'This Is How We Do' vibes, weirdly!
Posted by: l♀tita 28th April 2017, 08:20 PM
it's going way too far though, the fact she's physically upset over how people perceive her current image is absolutely despicable. she's a human not a dress up doll! i think she should be able to create her own image based on what she wants out there to portray her music

Yeah she'll never be as big as she was in Teenage Dream era but I don't think anyone expected that! Tbh as long as the music is great I'm good, charts are just numbers to me and the quality is most important. F*** I've done a huge u-turn on this, slay me with that European bop Katy *.*

I am also enjoying this a lot more after actually finding myself going back to it. It is still too slow to get going though.
Re her looks, she's made all this comments about 2007 Britney which means people are now taking the fun out of her and thinking she's having 'her' Britney moment. I do think there's something MORE going on under the surface, I have been seeing people saying she doesn't want to be 'Katy Perry' anymore.

Tbf given it's pre album it would be easy to brush it off as promo single if it really does that badly, a la American Oxygen by Rihanna for example. I think it's a bit ott to assume that this one flop will kill her career dead
Posted by: RobBob 29th April 2017, 04:16 AM
This is a f***ing tune and you all need to deal.
#1, #10, #100, I couldn't give a f*** where she peaks. I'm f***ing drunk and over this shit and I'm tellljbf you this sounds amazing at pre's.
Gonna have to stay of Twitter for this era though, she's getting so much hate. I've seen a few people seem genuinely so hateful towards Katy and I'm just like R U OK PSYCHO? Lmaooo get. A. GRIIPPPPP.

The iTunes performance is tragic! Her name alone should have went top 10 on U.K. And USA iTunes considering how terrible digital sales are!
I'm worried for her this campaign, think she will do well but nowhere near as well as she should \ expected!
Posted by: mdh 29th April 2017, 09:30 AM
Looking at the Migos situation I think it's beem blown massively out proportion - they made a full apology to what they said (which was probably taken out of context), if they genuinely were homophobic they wouldn't have properly apologised to ilM.

Yeah this hit me pretty much from second listen lmao. Certainly not a Katy classic but when her standard for singles is so high it'd be impossible to maintain those dizzying heights. Still a major jam though
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 29th April 2017, 11:56 AM
I think it's the first single of hers I've explicitly disliked, though she has had 2 or 3 clunkers (looking at 'Part of Me' and 'Rise' primarily).
Posted by: Andrew. 29th April 2017, 01:08 PM
Actually shocked at how this is doing, I'd have thought her name alone would at least get her top 10 on iTunes
Anyway this is a bop, not gonna apologize *.* It sounds like the type of song that you'd go CRAZY to when drunk as well, which I'ma hopefully try and see. Surprised at the fanbase reaction still being pretty bad but let this be ha gentleman I guess

It also reminds me a LOT of an In The Zone album track, but it is nowhere near as good as Showdown.
It is more like Boom Boom (I Got That Party) ft. Fetty Wap, the 2nd track.
It is as good as the worst album track on In The Zone.
Let that sink in.

Posted by: ~josh~ 2nd May 2017, 04:36 PM
Still growing on me but still disappointed in this, I do like the second verse with the 'open 24' and 'world's best cherry pie' lyrics a lot though. Might be a bit pessimistic but feel like this is the single that could end her, such a misguided single choice. #39 in the mids is dreadful, not even top 40 in the first week, and we thought Rise was a flop?!?
Posted by: Tippin Virginia 2nd May 2017, 05:16 PM
She's over.
Posted by: cqmerqn 2nd May 2017, 05:18 PM
Will that even be enough for it to go top 100?
Posted by: Tippin Virginia 2nd May 2017, 05:30 PM
I guess now she's learned not to follow in Nelly's baking pies strategy.
3 years is a long time. To come back and experiment with EVERYTHING, with all the ingredients that made you successful, and spend the interim 3 years pie-baking in the kutchen away from the studios, is just a recipe for disaster!
Posted by: Liаm 2nd May 2017, 05:33 PM
Yeah it's not THAT much of a flop to miss top 100, it'll probably also go top 40, idk much about US charts but sales aren't high enough for 17k to miss top 100 I'm sure
Posted by: cqmerqn 2nd May 2017, 05:35 PM
Well you need around ~15k to go top 40 in the UK
Posted by: Andrew. 2nd May 2017, 05:38 PM
Iggy's 'Mo Bounce' sold 15k I believe and missed the hot 100 so genuinely scared for her
She wouldn't do that badly surely?
Posted by: Liаm 2nd May 2017, 05:41 PM
She'll have better streaming, idk about radio but surely it wouldn't miss the top 100
Posted by: Andrew. 2nd May 2017, 05:43 PM
Just Looking at ATRL I THINK it meant it would get 17k paid for sales which relaxes me a bit
Still awful, I'm hopeful the GP will see sense though.
Posted by: Liаm 2nd May 2017, 05:45 PM
Yeah I think that's it not overall Obv it's not been a streaming bohemoth but I think I saw it was top 70 or sth so that'll add a bit.
Posted by: Tippin Virginia 2nd May 2017, 05:50 PM
She needs to do a Rihanna ANTI when Rihanna saw Breath In, Breathe Out and those other 2, I forgot them, were flops. She re-did the WHOLE album!! She came back with more bops. They still flopped but not so badly.
Posted by: Joe. 2nd May 2017, 05:52 PM
She should have booked some promo for the first week, Chained was predicted for 30k in its first week before the Grammys performance which luckily kind of saved its first week and it ended up selling a lot more after that.
Posted by: cqmerqn 2nd May 2017, 06:04 PM
I think she's on track to miss the top 40 in the UK and maybe US.
Posted by: mdh 2nd May 2017, 06:17 PM
Yeah it's top 60 on Spotify US streaming with ~350k streams a day at the moment, that means she's probably headed for around 3 million streams by the end of the week in the US overall, which'll work out at a fair bit more than 17k!
(it'll still probably miss the top 40 but I doubt it'll miss the top 100 altogether!)

Can someone PLEASE ban Michael from this forum (and Gaga's whilst we're at it) PLEASE!? 
Honestly, I don't mind anyone who hates the song to comment etc.. so it's not about it being a negative opinion, it's just that his posts are so repetitive, boring and just a chore to read and really ruins my enjoyment of coming in here!
Gutted about it's chart performance! I really hope it doesn't get cancelled as a single, coz I can see this growing and becoming a bit of a stable hit in the end. Especially if the video was to be killer, like I'd expect it would be!
Posted by: HausofSZA 3rd May 2017, 06:37 AM
Can I just say (and I've discussed this with friends irl too) that it is actually so liberating for an artist to "flop" quite badly and then stop caring about charts and success et al. I've learnt it the hard way with Gaga an era ago and with Madonna too I guess (and Prince retrospectively). Once the stigma of them being mega successful goes they are free to experiment, be artists and do WHATEVER THE f*** THEY WANT like the artists I mentioned do/did. It's liberating not only for the artist themselves to get through a shit period and come out of it rejuvenated and free but also for the fans.
This is all hyperbole in Katy's case. It's ONE song, what artist hasn't had a flop single? But SHOULD this spell a period of ""chart flopping"" welcome it and embrace it and let her be free to do whatever she wants and actually ENJOY being a popstar which she seems to not be doing recently I'm really rooting for her.
Posted by: Joe. 3rd May 2017, 01:52 PM
I mean, it's first week is pretty underwhelming, but it's only 5 years old so I do think it's way too early to brandish this an outright flop just yet.
Posted by: Liаm 3rd May 2017, 02:06 PM
Exactly, it is only one song If you look at huge artists, Cher for example had pretty much a whole flop decade for most of the 80s! And even the likes of Madonna and Prince had flop albums, one song is nothing. Especially when she smashed with Chained To The Rhythm just a few months ago. It's so easy nowadays to just brush this off as a promo single if she wanted to anyway, I know the pop industry is fickle but it's not so bad that this would end her whole career by "only" peaking at like #38.
Posted by: ~josh~ 3rd May 2017, 03:06 PM
On a side note, it's a shame that the Migos feature is so redundant on this. All of her features are just so unnecessary tbh, the solo version of California Gurls/Chained to the Rhythm/Dark Horse/ET are all better tbh (especially the latter when they cut out the AMAZING middle 8 to insert a Kanye verse...). I can barely remember the last time she did a good collab where both artists actually provide something worthwhile, probably Starstrukk & If We Ever Meet Again for me!
Posted by: Cremey 3rd May 2017, 03:33 PM

I'd rather him banned from the whole forum tbh :') but his posts in here and the Gaga forum are the worst, definitely.
I'm also hoping this remains a single despite its chart performance. I agree with Bal, it'd be great for them to not be influenced by charts and to just go for it anyway. I think an amazing video would sell it so, so well and I can't imagine a video for this not being ridiculously fun. Her looks at the met gala were 👌🏼 can't wait to see more visuals from this era.
Probably biased because I loved Migos anyway but I do feel like they add to the song! Lots of the criticism for the song in general is that it doesn't go anywhere (which I don't agree with..) but if the feature wasn't there, it'd feel more like that. Offset's verse is my favourite part of the song – that melody along with the change in production is perfect.

Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 3rd May 2017, 04:09 PM
E.T. is so much better solo for me, not here for Kanye's addition at all, same for Migos on this really. I do enjoy Snoop, Juicy J and Skip's contributions to their respective singles though!
Posted by: Andrew. 3rd May 2017, 04:11 PM
Skip makes CTTR for me! The solo version of Bon Appétit is wayyy better than the released one though, don't know why they didn't just release that tbh. That's not to say the released one is bad, I just don't particularly like Migos's part
Posted by: Davidson 3rd May 2017, 08:54 PM

Debuts at #40 in the UK Charts! Of course that is dreadfully disappointing but at least it's better than the first mids suggested it could have been. Hoping the A-list spot on the R1 playlist will help it out a bit though...
Posted by: Joe. 5th May 2017, 04:30 PM
I just want her to drop the video. It's apparently got some weird stripper in it and will probably be a hot mess. I can see the song rebounding nicely when it's out.

Posted by: Jonjo 7th May 2017, 07:16 PM
Will we still get a video?
Posted by: Joe. 7th May 2017, 07:21 PM
Who, knows - for the UK's sake I hope we do, as the song is showing signs of doing really well here with a push. I find it a bit annoying that they'd pull the plug simply because it is doing badly initially, and isn't living up to the songs from her imperial phase. All it takes is a good video for a song to catch on sometimes.
Million Reasons by Gaga wasn't doing well at first but Gaga was smart and kept pushing it until it was.
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 7th May 2017, 07:34 PM
I'm not surprised really, for it to sell less in week 1 in the US than Mariah's I Don't is a REALLY poor result, Chained didn't do badly at all so you can't really justify this. Million Reasons was pushed post-album anyway so it a different scenario really but as much as I'm enjoying the song, its US performance is worrying
Posted by: Joe. 7th May 2017, 07:39 PM
I'm not saying Bon Appétit isn't doing terribly in America, but I Don't was released with its video the same week, got a premiere on her reality TV show and a performance on Jimmy Kimmel, was the first single from Mariah in quite a while and it debuted at #89 while this is predicted for #69. Katy has thrown this song out and done nothing with it, it's the first time she's done that with a pre-album single. I know Mariah and Katy are meant to be on totally different playing fields, but still.
Posted by: cqmerqn 7th May 2017, 07:47 PM
69 is awful!
Posted by: Jonjo 7th May 2017, 08:02 PM
It's OK. This is just the 'Bitch Better Have My Money' to 'Chained to the Rhythm's, 'FourFive Seconds' in all honesty.
She just needs to rethink her promotional tactics and learn to move with the times a bit faster. This is nothing but a blip. Every artist gets one.
(Still an utter jam and seriously in my top 5 songs of the year)

BBHMM was still a decent sized hit
Posted by: Andrew. 7th May 2017, 08:26 PM
BBHMM did a lot better than this!! I do think it can be saved in the UK at least but in America they've probably done the right decision. Opening less than I Don't
Posted by: Jonjo 7th May 2017, 09:06 PM
Tbh, that is what this era is reminding me of. And I thought BBHMM did so much worse than it actually did haha. I remember people saying Rihanna was "ova!!1!×#1" because BBHMM didn't go top 10/have instant success... off the back of a big hit.
I understand that doesn't explain why they've pulled the plug on this. They really haven't given this a chance at all and that's why I'm annoyed. Haha. So infuriating. Like Joe said, this is the first time she's not promoted the hell out of a pre-album song first week!

If it's scrapped in the US already then she probably won't perform it on SNL in two weeks. Kind of like Gaga not bothering with Perfect Illusion on her SNL slot even though it'd only been out for a few weeks.
If so, would Katy debut two new songs in the same night? I can't see her doing CTTR but who knows.

Why do all her fans necessarily have to like it or buy it?
Posted by: ~josh~ 8th May 2017, 07:59 AM
Quite selfishly, I'm hoping she drops this ASAP and acts like it never happened with a new smash single in a couple of weeks. I know it has chance to grow in the UK but if it's not even going to get a video due to no US release then she may as well just not even bother. I mean she had SIX #1s in the US during the Teenage Dream era and then two #1s with the Prism era which is still good. To go down to a #4 and #69 or whatever with the next is a little embarrassing. She just needs to bring it with the next release and then I think this can be swept under the carpet but I am worried for her career at the moment tbh
Posted by: Joe. 8th May 2017, 08:40 AM
Katy is no longer in her imperial phase though, she's not going to get #1s easily ever again. Pretty much every artist gets to this point at some point, and as Haus said on the previous page, I think fans sometimes need to ajust to that reality to be able to enjoy the fact they're releasing music they want to release.
It may have had a much stronger rollout, but #4 for Chained is still fantastic, the pop girls don't get #1s very easily anymore. Gaga and Ariana's era peaks were #4s too. And underwhelming as it is, there's no way Bon Appétit would have peaked in its first week if they continued to push it, especially with Billboards, Carpool Karaoke, SNL, Music video promo planned. A new replacement single, no matter how good it is, isn't going to magically do any better than this, unless she actually pushes it a lot harder than she's done so far with, she isn't the name that she was, she can't drop a single and expect it to sit at #1 automatically anymore.

I was meaning stans. The defensive ones who will buy anything she does. I was sure that she'd have more?
Posted by: danG 8th May 2017, 12:20 PM
This is going to be her ANTI isn't it? Bet this won't even appear on the album.
They really need to re-think her strategy.

A lot of this might be true, but a replacement single could do better because this hasn't had a great reaction, we've all surely seen a lot of hate for it online. Promo may help but things really don't bode well right now, and the fact she's not at her imperial phase anymore doesn't excuse that - I don't think anyone expected this to storm to #1, but top 10 on iTunes on day 1 and hanging around the top 40 by the end of the week is what I expected (in the US, it's done the second part in the UK tbf). It really has a long way to go to become a hit and I'm not convinced it's gonna be anything more than a minor hit both sides of the pond, a la Run Up for example.

I don't know how to feel about this. It's obviously absolute TRASH but i can't help but bop along to it.
Posted by: SamJudd 10th May 2017, 09:59 PM
What's happened to her, she used to release such great gems but since the presidential elections, she doesn't care and even coming across as unlikeable with her comments about Britney's breakdown and that terrible Miley Cyrus haircut and it's even affected her music, who honestly thought that 'Bon Appetite' was a strong single, it's terrible and ranks as one of her worst along with 'Rise', she's just given up.
Not really looking forward to her new album, despite 'CTTR' being quite decent, but even that's nowhere near her best.
Posted by: HausofSZA 11th May 2017, 07:01 AM
Migos' part is my favourite moment in this song now. What a sweet potato JAM 🙌
Posted by: WallIsSoGood 11th May 2017, 02:02 PM
I do think her presenditional involvement and Taylor Swift rivalry has had a rather large impact, debuting as low as it did worldwide is nothing short of disastrous!
Posted by: Вuzzjack 11th May 2017, 02:31 PM
This is much better than the awful imo Chained To The Rhythm and its forced fun chorus 'dance dance dance to the disco show' 
Posted by: cqmerqn 11th May 2017, 02:43 PM
It's actually dance dance dance to the distortion lmao
Posted by: Joe. 11th May 2017, 02:43 PM

It's "Dance Dance Dance, to the distortion" - It's about social and political blindness.

I think this might be a breakdown tbh.
She has obviously lost it or given up.
CTTR was only decent. The Head in the Clouds Fanboy Brigade defend it, but it's not her best at all.
The other song clips were just as bad as Bon Appetit.
She is over.

Posted by: ~josh~ 12th May 2017, 07:23 PM
Oooh, wasn't expecting the video to drop today! At first I wasn't so keen on it as I was expecting it to be a bit more vibrant but I really enjoyed the entire thing actually. I like it how it balances sexy and funny really well, she looks HOT throughout the video but the next second she's getting her leg stretched and kneaded like a piece of dough I'm hoping this video can work wonders for the chart performance of the song!!
Also, I knew Migos wasn't one person but now I'm even more shook that it's THREE people
The most annoying thing about the video is that the hand and the icing don't match up during the title intro thing right at the beginning
Posted by: Atonement 12th May 2017, 07:29 PM
omg the part where she's sliding into the soup and is being boiled is my favorite.
that also really annoyed me
Posted by: l♀tita 12th May 2017, 07:31 PM

Posted by: Joe. 12th May 2017, 07:31 PM
f***ing disgusting, disturbing and weird....
It's very very clever though. I love the twist at the end and it's a good comment on capitalism. It's filmed brilliantly too.
Posted by: Jonjo 12th May 2017, 07:35 PM
It's kind of the antithesis to 'California Gurls'!
I like the video, but I'm sure there's some sort of message that I don't quite get atm (I'm sure someone will come to a conclusion that'll make sense and I agree with )
Still, a very well shot video. It's classic Katy, with a dark twist.
Posted by: Yeasty Clutch 12th May 2017, 07:39 PM

It's a shame about the timing for the UK, it's the worst day/time for video boosts as with the weekend, weekday videos are much better. Might make some tiny gains though.
Posted by: Yeasty Clutch 12th May 2017, 08:19 PM
Record company must hate her rn
Posted by: Liаm 13th May 2017, 02:59 AM
I think the video does kind of work for the song, it's a hot mess for a hot mess of a song, but it is quite disturbing It's definitely going to be a talking point though and it can't do the song much harm as it's not got much further to fall. Exposure can only be a good thing, it's better than nothing and the song just being left to fail. If it still flops now it's not hard to pass it off as a buzz single

Posted by: 360Jupiter 13th May 2017, 07:16 AM
Like the song a lot but that video is legit vile. The last thing she needs right now is a weird and offputting video when the song's already not doing that well.

HELP why have I only just realised the three hands in the single art are Migos?!?!?!?!

I kinda wanna go cannibalise random strippers while blasting this song tbh. 
Posted by: troylovesmusic 13th May 2017, 01:29 PM
I'm sorry but this song is such a bop to me probably going to end up being one of my favourite songs by her !
Posted by: SamJudd 13th May 2017, 07:37 PM
The video is surprisingly really good and does make the song a little more tolerable, she looks great at the beginning with long blonde hair, and I really like it's disturbing nature, definitely ranks as one of her most interesting videos to date. Song still SUCKS though. Doubt this will help it's poor chart performance though (may climb a few spots higher in the USA, other than that highly doubt it.
Mmmm I wonder if Hilary Clinton did win the elections , then it would have made a difference and Katy would start caring again and make great tunes again. Maybe in an alternate reality where Hilary did win and Katy pulled her finger out and brought out incredible tunes that would slaughter the competition and eclipsed the success's of 'Teenage Dream' & 'Prism' combined. But nope we have to make do with this.
But I'm not gonna write her off just yet, gonna wait and see what the album's gonna be like first and maybe we might get a pleasant surprise and the next single will be great and put her back on form (maybe). Just wait and see.
Posted by: Yeasty Clutch 13th May 2017, 09:49 PM

'Cringe', 'Cringe like a biology teacher trying to be down and look cool with her students', 'why do popstars always shave their hair when they go crazy' etc!!

Posted by: Jonjo 21st May 2017, 10:41 PM
Yeah. That performance really wasn't good tbh. I HATE it when artists practically whisper over the backing track. I'd rather they just full on mimed and performed the shit out of it or gave us actual vocals. Visually it was an ok performance though, I guess.
I far preferred the 'Swish Swish' performance (which I don't get the hate towards? )
Posted by: Cremey 22nd May 2017, 01:15 PM
Wincing so much at her during Migos' part... 😬
The worst thing is her clearly thinking it's 'oh shit' when it's actually 'Offset'! It's like 'Tinasha' all over again :')

That performance is SO much better. Everything is very cartoon like and everything Katy Perry is really about as a popstar and I think it shows that she looked comfortable and happy in that environment.
Posted by: Joe. 6th June 2017, 07:00 AM
As a result of her performance Bon Appétit has been performing better in France than any other country. Still #7 on iTunes there and is higher on Spotfiy than it's been in any other country. (She also did Chained and it's top 3 there but that was already a huge hit there). Goes to show this is the kinda KP people are here for so it's a shame the US hasn't seen a performance like that.
Also, side note, her hair looks a lot better now she's dyed it platinum blonde, so much better, more feminine and suits her face more.
Posted by: Cucumberella 3rd July 2017, 02:43 AM
the Voice France performance of this is PERFECT staging / visual wise! sooo much better

You are not even a music fan. Just a huge popularity contest for you. If this was #1 you'd be shitting on the floor stanning and being repetitively pessimistic about anyone not in the #1 it girl spot.

Still one of my favourite songs of the year. So many people seem to have done 180s on it but I don't see why the public didn't take to it at all after what was actually a half decent push. I can understand why her campaign is in pieces because people they expecting a smash which is what it deserved.
Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 14th July 2017, 07:43 PM
I hated it when it first came out, but the beat got me SHOOK when I played it on my bass heavy speaker. I have been blasting it - get it into the consciousness of the hotel I was in and now aroond me barrio. Every little helps!
It needed to be a third, out there single after 2 smashes, or a risky first single to have done well.
Posted by: Mrs. Potts 14th July 2017, 09:40 PM
As if Meekul has started including Spanish words in his posts !! They were hard enough to understand in the first place :')
I've kinda done a 180 on this too. It wasn't what I was expecting or hoping for when we first got it but it does worm it's way into your head and the video helped me enjoy it more too. I can't say the same for Swish Swish though
Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 14th July 2017, 09:49 PM
Swish Swish is so so bad 
Yeah, a song like this discovered on the album, with more time to get hype from growing on fans released later in the campaign, was the way to go tbh. Only problem was she had nothing to replace i with

I don't quite get what happened.
It WAS a huuge grower. Half of us HAAATED it at first, but I thought radio would still have played it till it clicked.
Posted by: White Mustang 1st October 2017, 06:20 PM
I think some slight tweaking would have made it a bigger hit. The beat of the final two choruses should have come in earlier, and the rap is too long. It is a huge single and I love it.

2 years after this flopped was released it has a sudden surge of popularity on YouTube over the past 9 days, really peaking over the past 2 days where it’s become the top 4 most viewed video (was 2nd yesterday).
Which has caused this:
