Katy Perry’s ‘Woman’s World’ Fails to Crack Top 10 and Debuts at No. 63 on Billboard Chart
Katy Perry's long-awaited musical return, a female-empowerment single dubbed 'Woman's World,' debuts at No. 63 on the Hot 100, derailing her comeback.
It’s no secret that Perry’s comeback single — a seemingly female-forward anthem called “ Woman’s World ” — had a bumpy landing, between the involvement of Dr. Luke, the pop hitmaker who was accused of sexual misconduct by his former artist Kesha (the case was settled with no conviction or admission of guilt on Luke’s part), and its heavy-handed video, which was intended to be ironic but wasn’t perceived that way. Her last chart-dominating numbers came through “Witness,” where its lead single, the Max Martin- produced “Chained To the Rhythm” (also co-written by Sia) broke through at No. The song’s matching “divine feminine” -themed music video featured some common feminist tropes, including Perry dressing up as sexy Rosie the Riveter, and women replacing men in a recreation of the historic Lunch atop a Skyscraper photo.
