I feel like this is what you get when you're not trying to chase viral trends with memes and stuff.

 

Just a pure, solid, all out pop banger. I'm one of the few who liked Witness, but there was no arguing it was a step back, but this brings her right back on track! :wub:

She’s BACK *.*

 

Let’s just forget Witness and 365 ever happened x

I'm pretty sure this is challenging to be the best thing she's ever done for me. :o

I don't want to jump the gun either but I am having similar feelings — she hasn't had a song as euphoric as this since Teenage Dream. That anthemic pre-chorus leading into THAT chorus. And then her note into the middle eight. So wonderful.

oh this is SO great!!!! so is the video. it's absolutely MADE for her.

 

katy perry is always at her best when she injects the fun.

I’ve been avoiding making the Teenage Dream comparisons because I didn’t wanna look back in months like “wow I really went overboard” but that is how I feel... big statement though.

Yup this is absolutely brilliant! Really impressed.

omg that pre-chorus is so anthemic

Pitchfork have said "Never Really Over is her best song since Walking On Air"

and they’d be right

I think this is pretty average. It’s better than her recent stuff but not a patch on her earlier classic hits.

I prefer 365, but this is still great :wub: the chorus is a bit of a mouthful, but I like it!

#3 on iTunes US and UK when the last few singles struggled even get top 15, 26 on Apple Music already, new wig and critical acclaim across the board. Is she back?

Debuts at #35 on US Pop Radio!!

This is a BOP! It's Teenage Dream meets 2019. Such a great return to form. :wub: I hope this becomes a massive summer hit everywhere!

Liking this quite a bit, easily her best single since Swish Swish and makes up for the sub-par 365 and her pointless Con Calma remix.

Really can't get enough, I loved all of the Witness singles but this is a spectacular return to form. I think she could be on to a big hit with this!

Debuts at #31 on Spotify UK!

Absolutely love this

I didn't expect this positive reaction.

 

I think she really bloomed artistically with Witness and this seems like a step backwards for me but I guess it's alright.
