Katy Perry is kicking off 2025 with a bang, releasing 1432, the deluxe edition of her 143 album. Featuring four fresh tracks, including the uplifting and previously unreleased “OK,” Perry offers fans a hand of reassurance with lyrics like, “I’m always gonna be around/ No matter if you’re up or down.” The deluxe release also includes “I Woke Up,” “Has A Heart,” and the emotional closer, “No Tears For New Year’s.”
143, Perry’s first full-length project since 2020’s Smile, originally dropped in September. It’s packed with standout collaborations, including tracks with Kim Petras, Doechii, 21 Savage, and J.I.D. While the album has been celebrated for its catchy pop tracks, it wasn’t without controversy.
The music video for lead single “Woman’s World” received criticism for juxtaposing its empowering lyrics with visuals that some argued catered to the male gaze. Perry responded to the backlash in interviews, explaining, “We’re kind of just having fun being a bit sarcastic with it. It’s very slapstick and on the nose… like, ‘Oooh, we’re not about the male gaze but we really are about the male gaze,’ and we’re overplaying it.”
Upcoming Katy Perry Tour and UK Dates
Katy Perry is set to bring her music back to the stage in 2025 with the highly anticipated Lifetimes Tour. Fans across the globe can look forward to live performances spanning Mexico, Australia, Canada, South America, and Europe, with stops in England and other parts of the UK. Kicking off in Mexico City on April 23, the tour will run through November, making it one of the biggest Katy Perry tour events in recent years.
For those eager to see her in the UK, Katy Perry concert dates in England are expected to be among the highlights of the tour. Fans can anticipate a mix of hits from her recent album, 143, as well as timeless tracks like The One That Got Away.
Addressing the Dr. Luke Controversy
In addition to the music, Perry’s decision to work with producer Dr. Luke on 143 sparked significant conversations. During an appearance on Call Her Daddy, she addressed the criticism, saying, “I understand that it started a lot of conversations, and he was one of many collaborators that I worked with. The truth is, I wrote these songs from my own experiences. He helped facilitate that as one of the writers and producers.”
Despite the backlash, Perry remains focused on her personal growth and artistic evolution, which she says are central themes of her recent album.
