According to the iTunes file, it was written by Max Martin, Savan Kotecha & Ali Payami.

Produced by Max and Ali.

It seems to be an iTunes/Apple Music exclusive so far:

I've been waiting for this moment for so long and I love it and I'm disappointed at the same time. This just proves my point that Luke's career is suspended. Every Katy's comeback was produced by Luke now she has the opportunity to meet the wolf cousins.

K'naan 2010 as well as Dr. Luke & Cirkut 2014 were brilliant.
German artist Herbert Grönemeyer delivered two sport smashes as well (2006 & 2016).

And no, obviously Firework is Katy Perry's worst single to date.

Wow, I never would've guessed it was by Max and Ali. Upon first listen it sounded more like Tricky Stewart to me.

The lyrics are too busy and Katy-ish. Definitely one of her not so strong singles.

http://www.popjustice.com/thenews/katy-perrys-released-a-new-single-in-one-specific-place/

"This is a song that's been brewing inside me for years, that has finally come to the surface," are words of Perry's that appeared in a press release. "I was inspired to finish it now, rather than save it for my next album, because now more than ever, there is a need for our world to unite. I know that together we can rise above the fear – in our country, and around the world. I can't think of a better example than the Olympic athletes, as they gather in Rio with their strength and fearlessness, to remind us how we ALL can come together, with the resolve to be the best we can be. I hope this song can inspire us to heal, unite, and rise together."

So: she had the song shelved and decided to give it a go.
It's one of these cheesy songs she writes on guitar.
Not written over a track, where with some help she really delivers.

Back to English:
I want to take note of something and wanna know if anyone else feels the same. I did listen to the iTunes Mp3 and the YouTube version, both versions in the first verse "I won't just SSSSurvive" that S sounded like I was listening to a low bitrate song, The first part of the song I'm uncomfortable with the overall quality of katy's voice, it sounds like she's singing through a Wall, if that's the correct way to describe a low bitrate sample.

I still don't get the song.

The other day I read an article about the music trends: now it's slower, after the 128bpm standard of EDM.
Plus: now songs contain +300 words.

Back in the 80s, it was 150+.

Post by: nanofives on April 28, 2017, 03:23:08 PM
I can't stand quavo's vocals, the mix seems to be more like a migos song, and they are terrible. Of course offset can bring some good verses which could be only about generic rap, but it's a stupid selection from Katy bringing mediocre rap artists just because they have ONE number one song (because of a stupid trend), this is my assumption.
Seems like oscar holter is making max and shellback experiment new sounds, see mitt team.

It's not even on top 50 worldwide on spotify after two week (totally understandable since it's a bad, boring, cringy song).

And now the video is out which is gaining a lot of views. So maybe it will begin to rise on charts etc?

But if so, it's only because of all the chefs touching her body and not about the song smh

I don't get the hate for Bon Appetit either. It's a pretty brilliant slinky pop jam. The way it builds, the whole clubby vibe, and the video definitely brings the song to life more.

At first I didn't get what she was doing this era. She seemed a bit aloof in interviews and the live performances of Chained to the Rhythm were lackluster. But I watched a 30-minute live stream she did the other day and I get where she is now in her career/life. She isn't taking it too seriously, trying to break records, or hit #1. She's experimenting and above all wants to have fun and be silly. I think the music will deliver.

This new era with Katy has really not had the impact that an artist with that fame / fanbase should have.

But I guess you can't constantly rule the hot 100 and be nr 1.

I look forward to Camila Cabello and Justin Timberlake now.

And I would really like Max to finally have a sick song with Rihanna.

I have to echo Dr. Fleischman's sentiments. I'm not sure if Katy's album—which I find very underwhelming and lazy—has more to do with Dr. Luke's absence, Max Martin losing his touch, Ali Payami's influence, or a combination of the three. 
Title: Re: Katy Perry - album WITNESS on June 9 (incl. Bon Appétit & Chained To The Rhythm)

I think the logic is to blame Dr Luke because he forced Max to find a a replacement and Ali is very close to Max, but it's not the best choice for Katy. I think it would have been different if Ilya or Klas Ahlund were involved. Or Stargate and Benny Blanco.

Ali is a great option, but not for too many tracks.

It would have been great to have an edgier sounding record.
I missed Greg Kurstin. He did great working with Halsey.

Allie X's record beats the sh*t out of Witness.
She recorded with Billboard, Cirkut, Kool Kojac, Ammo, Mike Wise, Brett McLaughlin.

Taylor putting 1989 and all her albums back on Spotify the same day Katy releases her new album is ridiculous. But promotion for both and Max now gets even richer. I don't complain. It's really handy to be able to stream her songs now instead of switching to iTunes or putting the CD into the player.

I am not yet sure if I like the "Witness" album - it is not really instant, needs lots of plays. Eventually it will grow on me.


Max tasks on the album can be displayed here (among them is Prophet 6) and solina

Are you sure Wiki is right?

There is no way Max wrote those songs. Producers take writing credits even if they don't write just like singers take credits for writing.

No Slash ////// needed.  Writing is different than production. If you don't do the work you shouldn't take credit or you look stupid. Like right now. Max looks retarded, again. Get off my dick and use your ears.

Spent some time producing and co-writing with the lovely Katy Perry. As if being around someone as talented and iconic as her wasn't awesome enough... today I found out that one of the songs we created made it onto the exclusive deluxe version of her album. Beyond happy! (https://www.facebook.com/iamrationale/photos/a.762417407181249.1073741828.499481163474876/1347572105332440/?type=3)

The song "Witness" grows on me enormously. It is really addictive.

Btw - what does an A&R person do on an album like "Witness"?

Are they the ones who decide which of the songs will be on the album? Or are they listening to external demos?


Did Max approve all songs as an executive producer?

The A&R represents the label's position about the tracks that make the cut.

Katy is the kind of artists that reworks the songs over and over again.
She said she had 40 songs for the album.

This is kinda similar to what happened with the last 2 albums of Madonna, especially in rebel heart, which is an odd concept, with some cringy music, with good demos (leaked) and awesome producers.

I love the verse/chorus snare of Hey Hey Hey so much - so Ali <3 would've never guessed Sia's co-written this one, probably the first time I don't recognize her lol.

I would have to re-listen to the entire album just so that I could get into a position where I could be constructive. I'm in Simon Cowell mode, Honestly, The album was so pitiful that I erased it from memory. Regardless of producer(s), distributor, entertainer, writer(s), or of what name is on the packaging; The. album. blew. chunks.

There is no other option but for you to be biased.

It's not bias, it's a different perception, if you don't like it it doesn't mean everyone else will, Simon Cowell missed a lot of times too.
In my case I can tell I'm biased by Max, the album didn't call my attention but Max's songs (mostly) are stuck in my head.

I love how no one likes save as draft in this pool, and yet it's still the next single, lol.

The album is not up to her standards.

Boring melodies, the tracks are average, pointless songwriting -lots of weird comparisons, LOTS- and is a miss to my tastes.

Being someone like her, she could have curate something different. Katy is this enviable position in her career: a well built fanbase and label support.
There's a lot of people doing great music that would die to work with her. She can do whatever she wants.

The album is focused on the tracks, not on the songs. Seems like all these songs are written over a beat, which is a pop industry standard and also the reason why the album doesn't work as a whole.

The main problem here is the songwriting: she should have work with songwriters insted of producers.
First: write the songs. SAY SOMETHING. After that arrange and produce the songs, trying to match your vision for the songs with the right producer.

In the Ross Golan podcasts, Bonnie McKee said she and Katy were "not close".
Maybe that's why they didn't write together for this project. Actually, lots of the writing in Teenage Dream and Prism are stories that already happened, Katy and Bonnie together.
And you kinda feel that honesty through the songs.
That's what I don't feel on Witness.
Title: Re: Katy Perry - WITNESS album (incl. Bon Appétit & Chained To The Rhythm)
Post by: melodicmoonlight on July 04, 2017, 06:31:06 AM
I find it pretty interesting and also kind of strange that the reception to Witness is so polarized.

I enjoy the album a lot. I don't think the melodies are weak; the sound is a departure from her past music but the melodies are still there: Witness, Hey Hey Hey, Roulette, Miss You More, Power, Deja Vu, Bon Appetite, CTTR. That's half the album. The production is new for her, but I like it. Mind Maze, Tsunami- these kind of songs have a clear purpose. The mixing of self-reflection and coming to terms with life's inconsistencies... I don't see how this album is dishonest. If anything this is as direct as she has been. Save as Draft. Into Me You See- the personal, relationship side to her. Bon Appetite, of course the one necessary sexy/raunchy song which still sounds amazing to me, Swish Swish, the sassy song.

I don't know what else people would want? Sure the Max tracks don't sound like typical Max. One thing that got me on board was hearing Katy's explanations. Hearing about where she was when she made this album, how she's evolved and is still evolving, kind of not giving a fuck about it. That's refreshing for a pop star.

Idk what I'm trying to say other than I'm amazed how some of you abhor the album when to me it is really not bad- in fact it's great.

They are the writers of the musical and also from "The Greatest Showman".

On April 29, 2017, I went and saw Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway, and was emotionally transformed forever. In my own life, I've struggled with depression, and like so many, always feeling alone in the battle of wanting to belong.

That night, I was particularly struck by the song "Waving Through A Window." It embodied the mental isolation I sometimes fought. So when my friends @benjpasek and @justinpaulmusic came to me and asked if I would like to re-record this song, not only to help launch the national tour, but to continue the conversation on mental health and all its complexities, I jumped right in.
I hope this song helps you know that you are not alone, and that I'm waving back at you.

QuoteNow, however, Dagny tells that she has not sat at a desk and written material on behalf of, or for, Katy Perry. To VG, Dagny says that Perry and her co-writers have simply fallen for "Love You Like That" and made a new song based on it. The result is the single "Never Really Over".

"Katy Perry and her people wanted make their own version, and they would give us credit for it - they have had an open dialogue with us about this. I'm very proud. I do not have any children to be proud of, so I would rather be happy on the song's behalf.

This is the first song from her new album, and yes, I've heard it - it's like Katy Perry back as a pop queen. It's totally wild! I am always very excited about all things related to releasing my own songs, but it is super exciting to be on this side of it.

It's incredibly cool that she does this (credits artists), she could just as well let it be. I mean, what would I do, call my non-existent lawyer to take her to court? It says a lot about her that she's not just going to try to get away with it.

There are many similarities (in our two songs). Some will say they are very similar, others may say they are not the same at all, but I think there are some harmonies there and the way her song is built up, which resembles mine. Mostly musical, not lyrically."

Allegedlly produced by Zedd & Dreamlab and written by Katy Perry, Farrago, Hayley Warner, Leah Haywood & Daniel James.

Umm, so... People.com says it's not written nor based on Dagny's song?
Where do they get the info?

The video for Never Really Over is out.

According to iTunes, the song was written by Zedd, Daniel James, Gino Barletta, Leah Haywood, Dagny Norvoll Sandvik, Harley Warner, Jason Gill, Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson & Michelle Buzz.

Thoughts?

Dagny herself told it on Norwegian newspaper that the song is based on her song.

But they credited all.

It's very reminiscent to dagny's song, I like the original song way more, but it's not bad, it's very middle of the road.

I love both songs. Love the harmonies on the chorus -or post chorus?-, she did something similar on 365.

Katy Perry Talks Never Really Over + New Music/Album

She said she had the song since August 2018 and wasn't really sure if it was a good one.
She wrote a song called Harley's on Hawaii, about a trip with his boyfriend.

So Katy Perry wrote a song about Orlando Bloom's - who's most likely not gay - boyfriend?
I'm very confused right now.

No, José said that it's written about "his" boyfriend, so it's obviously about a man's boyfriend.
After asking "Whose boyfriend?" the reply was "Then boyfriend now fiancé Orlando Bloom."
So I assume he meant Orlando's boyfriend.

"Katy Perry and Others Must Pay $2.8 Million Over 'Dark Horse,' Jury Says"

QuoteAccording to the verdict, Ms. Perry must pay $550,000, while her label, Capitol Records, owes nearly $1.3 million. Ms. Perry's five collaborators in writing the song were also ordered to pay, including the star producers Max Martin, who owes $253,000, and Dr. Luke, who owes $61,000 personally, while his company, Kasz Money Inc., owes $189,000.

Max pays more because his input was more meaningful to the song than Luke's? or what is it?

Looks like 49/51.
61+189 = 250

Max Martin is Aktiebolag (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aktiebolag), all what he earns he puts into a "company" which is he himself.

Luke divides himself from his company.

Well, after each session you split the songs.
Each one did 25%, 20%, 5%, etc and all the writers have to agree about the amounts because that's what they get from royalties.
And I think the differences are for their respective publishing deals.

Josh Kloss accused Katy Perry of sexual harassment via Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/B1CFg2xFG-C/

You know. After I met Katy, we sang a worship song, "open the eyes of my heart"
She was cool and kind. When other people were around she was cold as ice even called the act of kissing me "gross" to the entire set while filming. Now I was pretty embarrassed but kept giving my all, as my ex was busy cheating on me and my daughter was just a toddler, I knew I had to endure for her sake. After the first day of shooting, Katy invited me to a strip club in Santa Barbara. I declined and told her "I have to go back to hotel and rest, because this job is all I have right now"

So I saw Katy a couple times after her break up with Russel.
This one time I brought a friend who was dying to meet her. It was Johny Wujek's birthday party at moonlight roller way. And when I saw her, we hugged and she was still my crush. But as I turned to introduce my friend, she pulled my Adidas sweats and underwear out as far as she could to show a couple of her guy friends and the crowd around us, my penis.
Can you imagine how pathetic and embarrassed i felt?

I just say this now because our culture is set on proving men of power are perverse.
But females with power are just as disgusting.
So for all her good she is an amazing leader, hers songs are mainly great empowering anthems.
And that is it. I continued to watch her use clips of her music videos for her world tour and then her dvd, only highlighting one of her male co-stars, and it was me.
I made around 650 in total off of teenage dream. I was lorded over by her reps, about not discussing a single thing about anything regarding Katy publicly. And a couple interviews they edited and answered for me.

So, happy anniversary to one of the most confusing, assaulting, and belittling jobs I've ever done. Yay #teenagedream

I was actually gonna play the song and sing it on ukele for the anniversary, but then as I was tuning I thought, fuck this, I'm not helping her bs image another second.

The Witness album is so great - Ali Payami really is the producer of the past decade!

Witness and Hey Hey Hey are two of the most interesting Max Martin songs ever.

Sure, Prism will forever be her masterpiece but Witness isn't much worse!

She's very likable. And she's sharing some of her struggles, honestly.
In this interview she said she felt Witness didn't match her expectations and after that she thinks she was in a "loop of winning" and realized she does music to share a message. It's great to see artists realizing stuff like that.

She's incredibly likable, well-spoken, and specific. I started feeling that way towards her during Witness, when she did that entertaining yet revealing live stream thing. She's a smart, feeling woman who's not afraid to be self-aware and honest about her career.

The vocal production/mixing is enjoyable across the album. Both in the way it's produced and how she actually sings. A bunch of vocal moments either in her tone or delivery reminded me of One of the Boys-era Katy, it was kind of a nice flashback; specifically on Resilient.

Songs like Tucked, Only Love, and Not the End of the World have strong melodies. Nothing is quite an ear-worm as TD but they're catchy in a different, less saturated way? I guess what I'm trying to say is these songs sound new for her and I like that she doesn't just stick with the same formula necessarily or work with the same people. I love her as an artist!
