“You better celebrate/’Cause, baby, we ain’t going away/ It’s a woman’s world and you’re lucky to be living in it,” she sings in the anthemic chorus.
The track was produced by Dr. Luke, Vaughn Oliver, Aaron Joseph and Rocco Did It Again!. and marks her first proper release since 2020’s Smile, which reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200. “Woman’s World” serves as the lead track to Perry’s upcoming, long-awaited dance-pop album, 143, which is code for “I love you.” The usage dates back to the early 1900s, per Dictionary.com. The project arrives on September 20.
“I set out to create a bold, exuberant, celebratory dance-pop album with the symbolic 143 numerical expression of love as a throughline message,” Perry confirmed in a statement. According to a release, “Woman’s World” will match much of the songs on 143 — a “sexy, fearless return to form for the multifaceted musician.”
