Katy Perry’s Lifetimes music video receives glowing reviews from fans in contrast to previous flop

Katy Perry dropped the music video for her new song Lifetimes on Thursday — after her forthcoming album’s lead single Woman’s World bombed.

The Grammy nominee, 39, shot the entire project on location in Ibiza while vacationing with fiance Orlando Bloom and their daughter Daisy Dove, three, in July.

The nearly four-minute music video captures a mostly bikini-clad Perry partying on the Spanish island with her real-life friends and fans.

Fans quickly drew comparisons to her iconic Teenage Dream music video from 2010 — from the video’s care-free, summer vibes to Perry’s raw beauty.

‘Okay but wow the Lifetimes music video to me is giving the Teenage Dream music video but all matured and with wealth now,’ one excited fan gushed on X (formerly Twitter).

Another declared that ‘Katy Perry is back.’

The reception to Lifetimes is starkly different from that of Perry’s female empowerment anthem Woman’s World that was released on July 11.

Woman’s World, accompanied by a glossy, high budget and hyper-sexualized music video, was meant to mark Perry’s long-awaited comeback — though it failed to crack the Top 10 and landed at number 63 in it’s first complete tracking week.

The rollout also faced backlash as it was revealed that Perry had agreed to work with music producer Dr. Luke, 50, on her forthcoming album despite his highly publicized legal battle with fellow popstar Kesha, 37.

A source previously told DailyMail.com that Perry was ‘freaking out’ over the flop and holding crisis talks in an attempt to save her album rollout.

Shortly after, Perry confirmed that Lifetimes would be the second single off her new album 143.

‘Y’all I’m gonna say it….#LIFETIMES MV is better than Woman’s World�� It’s SO BEAUTIFUL I didn’t expect the MV to be THIS GOOD,’ one devout ‘KatyCat’ penned on X shortly after the video’s release Thursday.

Another wrote: ‘Katy Perry is goingg to rock the world againn..!! Lifetimes is such a BOP!’

Many fans feel like Lifetimes should have severed as Perry’s lead single, not Woman’s World.

‘Why wasnt this the first single ? This makes woman’s world seem like an unreleased demo,’ one X user wondered.

The Lifetimes music video begins with footage of Perry in a pink crop top and faux leather shorts snacking during an idyllic ferry ride to Ibiza.

Once she lands on the island, she hits the beach in a skimpy zebra-print bikini — showing off her incredible post-baby body in all its glory.

As an Easter Egg for fans, Perry revealed the full track list for 143 — to be released September 20 — on a billboard behind her in one shot.

Next, the raven haired beauty is clad in a sexy silver chrome dress that she rented from a local shop for $200 as she rides on the back of a hunky man’s motorcycle.

The shots of Perry riding along the Island’s coast and dancing in the sand in a bikini top mirror iconic scenes from 2010’s Teenage Dream.

Unlike Lifetimes, Teenage Dream was famously shot on location in Perry’s hometown of Santa Barbara, California. 

Perry is then joined at the beach by many of her real-life friends — including DJ Mia Moretti — as they push her out into the water in a bright yellow canoe.

Next, Perry, rocking a netted white swimsuit cover-up, snacks on fresh shrimp on a platter with Mia on a speedboat.

As the sunsets, a bikini-clad Perry flashes her backside as she climbs on red rocks on the shore to then cannonball back into the water.
