Katy Perry Defends New Song “Woman’s World” Amid Growing Backlash

Katy Perry’s highly anticipated Woman’s World single from her upcoming album 143 has been released, with a music video that has already stirred some controversy. While some slammed the upbeat anthem as “feminism gone wrong,” others critiqued the songstress’ collaboration with polarizing producer Dr. Luke.

The music video for Woman’s World was released on Friday (July 12). It presumably celebrates female empowerment and resilience, featuring diverse women from various backgrounds and professions, highlighting their strength and unity. 

Nevertheless, the two-minute-55-second-long clip also juxtaposes elements of hypersexualization, as the visuals incorporate provocative imagery, such as a close-up of the 39-year-old singer’s cleavage and a group of women dancing in sexy versions of construction workers’ uniforms.
