Katy Perry admitted to being “sarcastic” in her music video for “Woman’s World.”

Katy Perry has spoken out about her new single “Woman’s World,” which promotes female empowerment, after being criticized for collaborating with men, including Dr. Lukas – who is involved in a legal dispute with Kesha.

The 39-year-old sings, “It’s a woman’s world and you’re lucky to live in it (Uh-huh, uh-huh) / It’s a woman’s world and you’re lucky to live in it (Uh-huh, uh-huh; you better) / You better party (Party) / ‘Cause, baby, we’re not going away (Oh) / It’s a woman’s world and you’re lucky to live in it (Uh-huh).” The music video, which dropped on Friday, July 12, depicts a woman’s world where the “Fireworks” singer channels her inner Rosie the Riveter and wakes up in a destructive world where viewers meet internet personality Trisha Paytas, who makes a cameo appearance.

Girl power is a big message of the song, but many users online did not like the creation process. One online user commented on Katy’s X-Post“The video was co-written by six people, four of whom are men. It was produced by three men, one of whom is Dr. Luke, who has been accused by Kesha of sexual, physical and emotional abuse. The video was also directed by a man. LOL.”

This of course prompted the girl from California to say that the concept was just “satire”. Despite all the comments, she gave a Instagram video while we are on set, “We’re a little bit sarcastic about it… It’s very slapstick, very direct. And with this set, it’s like, ooh, we’re not about the male gaze, but we’re really Are the male gaze. And we’re really overdoing it, which is like a reboot for me, a reboot for my idea of ​​the feminine divine.”

Fans were discouraged by the artist because they felt like she wanted to make a song about how strong women are without a female crew helping to make the music video. One user commented, “A female empowerment song produced by Dr. Luke?”

The 50-year-old producer was not considered a suitable representative for the implementation of this song due to his legal dispute with Kesha after he was accused by the “Tiktok” singer of drugging and raping her.
