Katy Perry and Doechii recently took the stage at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, held at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. Perry, known for her hit songs, is gearing up for the release of her upcoming album '143,' which she has described as her big dance project. To build anticipation for the album's release next Friday, Perry has already released summer singles 'Woman’s World' and 'Lifetimes.'
During the MTV Video Music Awards, Perry unveiled her latest single 'I’m His, He’s Mine,' featuring Doechii. The song is a direct homage to classic dance hits, with production by Dr. Luke and Rocco Did It Again. It samples Crystal Waters’ popular 1991 track 'Gypsy Woman,' a favorite on dance floors worldwide.
In 'I’m His, He’s Mine,' Perry sings about being her partner's everything, while Doechii adds her own flair to the lyrics. The song captures the essence of past dance anthems, with Perry even incorporating iconic riffs from Waters' original track.
Doechii, who recently released her major-label mixtape 'Alligator Bites Never Heal,' is no stranger to club-ready beats. Her collaboration with JT on 'Alter Ego' made waves on the Billboard Dance chart, and her track 'Persuasive' from 2022 garnered attention, especially after a remix featuring SZA.
Perry has been vocal about her excitement for '143,' calling it a project she has dreamt of creating for nearly a decade. She expressed her long-standing desire to produce both a dance album and an acoustic album, with '143' fulfilling her vision of the dance album she always wanted to make.
Set to be released on September 20, '143' promises to be a significant addition to Perry's discography, showcasing her passion for dance music and her evolution as an artist.
As fans eagerly await the album's debut, Perry's performance at the MTV Video Music Awards with Doechii offered a glimpse into the vibrant and energetic sound that '143' is set to deliver.
