Katy Perry Is Planning Her Next Album Already
The pop superstar is following up 'Witness' with a major return to form...
Don't call it a comeback but Katy Perry is planning a... comeback?
The pop titan is planning her next move just seven months after she released her fourth album Witness, according to her record label boss.
While the album spawned three Top 40 singles, it has not seen the same success as Perry's first three collections, all of which dominated the pop scene.
Hey!
Now, nothing ever last forever, no
One minute you're here and the next you're gone
So I respect you, wanna take it slow
I need a mental receipt to know this moment I owe
Do you mind if I steal a kiss, tho? (Chop, chop)
A little souvenir, can I steal it from you?
To memorize the way you shock me
The way you move it here (hey)
Just wanna feel it from you (hey)
Don't be afraid to catch feels
Ride drop top and chase thrills (hey)
I know you ain't afraid to pop pills (hey)
Baby, I know you ain't scared to catch feels
Feels with me
I'm your window shopper, sucker for your love, oh
I'm wearing your goggles, virtual reality
It ain't what it cost you, it might be a dollar
As long as it shocks you, memory, electricity
Do you mind if I steal a kiss, tho? (Chop, chop)
A little souvenir, can I steal it from you? (Oh, yeah)
To memorize the way you shock me (yeah)
The way you move it here (hey)
Just wanna feel it from you (hey)
Don't be afraid to catch feels (ha)
Ride drop top and chase thrills (oh-oh-oh, oh)
I know you ain't afraid to pop pills (hey)
Baby, I know you ain't scared to catch feels (straight up)
Feels with me (woah)
Goddamn, I know you love to make an entrance (babe)
Do you like getting paid or getting paid attention? (Like, woah)
You mixed the wrong guys with the right intentions
In the same bed, but it still feel long distance (yeah, yeah)
She's looking for a little more consistency (I know)
But when you stop looking, you gon' find what's meant to be
And honestly, I'm way too done with the hoes (no)
I cut off all my exes for your x and o's
I feel my old flings was just preparing me (me)
When I say I want you, say it back, parakeet (par')
Fly in first-class through the air, Airbnb (woah)
I'm the best you had, you just be comparing me to me (woah)
I'ma at this at you, if I put you on my phone (woah)
And upload it, it'll get maximum views
I came in through in the clutch with the lipsticks and phones
Wear your fave cologne just to get you alone
Don't be afraid to catch feels (ha)
(Don't be afraid to catch these feels)
Ride drop top and chase thrills (yeah)
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
I know you ain't afraid to pop pills (I know)
Baby, I know you ain't scared to catch feels
(Woah, woah, woah)
Feels with me
Don't be afraid to catch feels (no, no)
Don't be afraid, baby
Don't be afraid
Ride drop top and chase thrills (woah, okay)
I know you ain't afraid to pop pills
I know, I know, I know
Baby, I know you ain't scared to catch feels
Feels with me
Now, Capitol Records' Steve Barnett has revealed that "tough conversations" have taken place to see what happens next.
"I love her and have forged a great relationship with her. I talk about how engagement is so important and I don’t believe you can have big cycles between projects [as Katy did]," he said.
"I think that’s changed. And so you sit down and have tough conversations with her and management. As successful as you’ve been, you learn."
While these may not be the most positive comments, Barnett announced that "she has a plan, and we have a plan, and I feel good about it."
A Witness reboot isn't very likely so we reckon she's moving swiftly onto album number five, which will be interesting as she is travelling the world with Witness: The Tour until late August.
It's probably for the best, however we will never not be sad that 'Bon Appétit' didn't become the biggest hit of Katy's career. It's what it deserved.

I grab her legs and now divide, aight
Make her do a donut when she ride, aight
Looking at the eyes of a dime make you blind
In her spine, and my diamonds change the climate
Girl, sweet tooth (sweet), no tooth fairy (no)
Whip cream (whip), no dairy (milk)
Got her hot light on, screaming, "I'm ready" (hot)
But no horses, no carriage (go ahead)
