Katy Perry

Katy Perry’s upcoming song snippet has sparked controversy, with critics slamming it as “terrible” and “cringy.”

The lyrics, which include lines like

“Sexy, confident. So intelligent.

She is heaven-sent.

So soft, so strong,” were criticized for being dated and reminiscent of a Real Housewives release.

Some fans were disappointed, comparing it unfavorably to her earlier work.

There’s also backlash over rumors that she worked with producer Dr. Luke, whom Kesha accused of sexual assault.

Despite this, Katy announced the song’s release on July 11 with enthusiasm, while facing mixed reactions from the public.
