Even though I think Never Really Over should've been the lead, the song is very good (just like everything she released since NRO). It's sad that she gets hate for no reason nowadays.
Would you still support a male artist if he kisses a minor in her mouth without consent, grabs the back of a female singer (fourteen years younger than him) without her consent, and if he is being accused by an actress of sexually assaulting her?
This song is about how, during her past era, she wasn't taken seriously and she went from being the Number 1 artist in the world to having just success. That, for the gp, was considered massive flop and she was just so low during witness. Now she's been lifted and doesn't care about that stuff anymore. Maybe the track is a classic Katy Perry Pop Bop, but the lyrics are just so deep, considering how depressed she was during the past years. I hope you give it another fair ahot cuz it's definitely a bop and the lyrics are so inspiring
The text is like a continuation of Daisies, where she talked about a person's spiritual strength and resilience, while in Smile she is as "grateful" to life, for giving her this resilience and being able to smile again
Great Video as always :) She's actually singing "I'm thankful scratch that baby I'm grateful" it must be the way she's pronouncing thankful cos I can see how you heard faithful lol The song is about how she lost her smile a couple years ago due to being depressed and the album is about her journey on to how she got her smile back! Cant wait for the full album reaction!
I feel like a this is a song we have heard from Katy but it’s already a classic. You just know. In 10 years time this will be one of the many many classics
i’m so glad for her because she said she wrote this song when she was in the darkest time so i think this album is gonna be so important to her. anyway love your reaction! hope you react the whole album when it comes out
It’s meant to represent how she has has her smile back after her witness era, and she’s happy again And maybe it’s bouncy to represent her bouncing back?
I did not like it at first too! Like I thought it is too weak to be a single but quite frankly - you listen to it 3 or 4 times once and you catch yourself humming the melody hours later. It's cute, but repetitive (we get to hear the chorus 4 times which is A LOT) and it makes you come for more. Pure pop, nothing more and nothing less. Now I'm waiting for the music video 🥰
This song is amazing. I don’t know how anyone doesn’t get this one on first listen. The track, the melody, the vocal. Everything is amazing. Very straightforward
I wasn’t really a fan of this song when I first heard it but it’s definitely grown on me the more I listen! I can’t wait for the new album, and also for your album reaction when it’s released! I’m most excited for the duet with Taylor Swift, who of course she previously had a public feud with! 🙌🏼 Hopefully the album is better than Witness, as that’s my least fave Katy album thus far!
benG - Not necessarily, as a lot of pop music instantly hits me and I love it immediately. That wasn’t the case for me with Smile, or in fact any Katy Perry song since Never Really Over. That doesn’t mean I hate her or dislike the songs, I’m just saying that it takes time for me to enjoy them recently as opposed to how her early music would instantly be a favourite 😊
This is a freaking bop!!!!!, Amazing song & vocals 💕 , i love her soooooo much 💗, i love your channel 💕, keep going girl 😊💕, you deserve way more views & subscribers 💕 .
Btw for people who are confused by the singles and what’s on the album: 1. Never really over and Harleys in Hawaii are 2 of the 4 singles Katy released in 2019 to introduce a new sound for her to the gp 2. Daisies is the lead single 3. Smile was supposed to be the lead but was replaced with Daisies because it was leaked a while ago
She doesn't show any particular vocals, but at the last chorus some head vocals can be heard; it's a nice song and I love the rhythm; it's catchy and I hope Katy will receive what she deserves, from never really over to now
Agreed. I am a big Katy Perry fan too but it doesn't sound like a bop. For example, the first time I heard Rain on Me by Gaga I instantly was like: THIS IS A BOP. Also, the first time I heard Never Really Over I was like this is a bop. This song doesn't have that same feel during the first listen. I will check it out again to see if my feelings for the song change. Thanks for the reaction video!
I loved Witness. I enjoy her early stuff too, but since I'm a lot older than her base, I thought Witness showed her maturity and growth. I used to listened to it when I walked the whole summer after its release. I didn't think it deserved the harsh criticism it received. I actually think it had more diversity than her newer stuff. But I'll always love Katy, she's so kind, Funny and has lived such a success story based on hard work.
I'm so happy I reacted to this tbh idk this song isnt my type at all ...so I hope the album does not sound like this much but I'm super excited for the album
If I were being completely honest, I’d say that it’s a nice song with good lyrics but it’s rather repetitive and doesn’t have any defining moments. Big Katy fan, though!
Hi Georgina , time to time I listen also to Katy , the whole music ( not only the singing ) , because of the development of pop music that interest me . By the way I like to introduce you to something different , a Japanese singer , Happy Wedding by Yuko Suzuhana , what's your opinion , she's more popular with her band ( the founder & leader ) , Wagakki band which is quite popular in the western world because of their tour . Have a nice day .
Katy has such a lovely voice...loved this! Can u critique some of Chritina Grimmie's videos.. Sadly she is no longer with us as she was murdered during an autograph signing after one of her concerts in Orlando Florida back in June of 2016..but i wld love u to critique her video of Rihanna's song "Stay"
It's "thankful" not "faithful". The words are not that audible tho so I wouldn't blame ya if you got that wrong. I myself had to search for the lyrics the first time I listened to it to know the words.
Same thoughts. So far this is my least favorite single off her new album. I think the song was lazily recorded. I feel like it has no stretches or cleverness going on, especially the beats and melodies were repetitive both for the verses, pre-chorus and chorus that made them indistinguishable. The upbeat and catchiness only made the song interesting, at least.
I luv Katy so much. But... during the choruses she seems to sound flat and scream rather than sing. The verses are some kind boring, too. Many people hated the "Witness" album, but it gave me very deep take on the music and the theme. Most of the "Smile" album may at the end of the day sound like a random mix of tracks that's already been released + maybe some during-pregnancy thoughts based on songs. We will see... I hope this one's gonna be a good one :-)
This song is so bland. I'd take any track on Witness over this. Also, the album cover ... Oof. This is Kidz Bop material and as a KP fan, I'm disappointed.
Even though I think Never Really Over should've been the lead, the song is very good (just like everything she released since NRO). It's sad that she gets hate for no reason nowadays.
Nro is actually the first single
She said in an interview that NRO, Harleys in Hawaii, Smile and Daisies are all from KP5
God Ga „Smile” is just a promo single. We don’t know what song is the lead - it could be Never Really Over or Daisies
I think daisies or never really over should've been the lead. She released only good music, but I don't know about smile yet
Would you still support a male artist if he kisses a minor in her mouth without consent, grabs the back of a female singer (fourteen years younger than him) without her consent, and if he is being accused by an actress of sexually assaulting her?
Lol NRO is the Lead
HIH the 2nd single
Daisies 3rd single
btw she says “yeah i’m thankful scratch that baby i’m grateful” not faithful
This song is the result of Birthday and This Is How We Do if they were mixed together
Tragic 🤣🤣
Yes! When I heard this, I was like this sounds like a song off Prism! But totally get those vibes
Teenage Dream too
Omg our minds 🤭 that’s literally what I thought
No california gurls or tennage dream
This song is about how, during her past era, she wasn't taken seriously and she went from being the Number 1 artist in the world to having just success. That, for the gp, was considered massive flop and she was just so low during witness. Now she's been lifted and doesn't care about that stuff anymore. Maybe the track is a classic Katy Perry Pop Bop, but the lyrics are just so deep, considering how depressed she was during the past years. I hope you give it another fair ahot cuz it's definitely a bop and the lyrics are so inspiring
Ik and its kinda sad that she cant be the same as she was because look what happened to kesha for an example
The lyrics aren't deep at all. Just saying.
They’re not deep like they’re very basic but I’m happy for Katy
Witness was much better than this era even if it wasn't successful
The text is like a continuation of Daisies, where she talked about a person's spiritual strength and resilience, while in Smile she is as "grateful" to life, for giving her this resilience and being able to smile again
Great Video as always :) She's actually singing "I'm thankful scratch that baby I'm grateful" it must be the way she's pronouncing thankful cos I can see how you heard faithful lol The song is about how she lost her smile a couple years ago due to being depressed and the album is about her journey on to how she got her smile back! Cant wait for the full album reaction!
I heard too thankful, i was thinking i was wrong 😁
I think it’s, “I’m thankful, scratch that, baby, I’m grateful.”
I think it's brilliant, I think we're finally starting to hear the fun Katy Perry again. It's a cute bop
Agreed!
5:26 she is definitely a Katy Perry Fan...
Over and Over again💚
I feel like a this is a song we have heard from Katy but it’s already a classic. You just know. In 10 years time this will be one of the many many classics
I really love it cuz it's meaning is actually really deep
i’m so glad for her because she said she wrote this song when she was in the darkest time so i think this album is gonna be so important to her. anyway love your reaction! hope you react the whole album when it comes out
It’s meant to represent how she has has her smile back after her witness era, and she’s happy again
And maybe it’s bouncy to represent her bouncing back?
A H YES
Definitely it is a grower. Love your reactions 💖
There is also another version of the song which features Diddy. It’ll probs be released with the video.
That version is so good 😌
I did not like it at first too! Like I thought it is too weak to be a single but quite frankly - you listen to it 3 or 4 times once and you catch yourself humming the melody hours later. It's cute, but repetitive (we get to hear the chorus 4 times which is A LOT) and it makes you come for more. Pure pop, nothing more and nothing less. Now I'm waiting for the music video 🥰
This reminds me of her single 'Birthday' :) Thanks for the great vid !
This song is amazing. I don’t know how anyone doesn’t get this one on first listen. The track, the melody, the vocal. Everything is amazing. Very straightforward
You're such a treat to watch react and critique. You're very relaxing to watch as well😊
SMILE IT’S A HIT
Also, it's "Scratch that baby, I'm Grateful, got to say it's really been a while, finally got back that smile." lol.
I mean "I'm so thankful scratch that baby, I'm Grateful."
The melody is sampled from "I'm Always Dancin' To the Music", by Benny Golson ^^
I wasn’t really a fan of this song when I first heard it but it’s definitely grown on me the more I listen!
I can’t wait for the new album, and also for your album reaction when it’s released! I’m most excited for the duet with Taylor Swift, who of course she previously had a public feud with! 🙌🏼 Hopefully the album is better than Witness, as that’s my least fave Katy album thus far!
That's called pop music hahahaha
benG - Not necessarily, as a lot of pop music instantly hits me and I love it immediately. That wasn’t the case for me with Smile, or in fact any Katy Perry song since Never Really Over. That doesn’t mean I hate her or dislike the songs, I’m just saying that it takes time for me to enjoy them recently as opposed to how her early music would instantly be a favourite 😊
Daniel, Obviously! Well, the Taylor collab is just rumour.
I think I felt exactly like you did when I first heard that song.
thanks for always supporting her music!
Keep doing your thing!! You’re brilliant in this! Loving your Chanel and reviews ❤️
This is a freaking bop!!!!!, Amazing song & vocals 💕 , i love her soooooo much 💗, i love your channel 💕, keep going girl 😊💕, you deserve way more views & subscribers 💕 .
Its okay not her best never really over was slept on such a tune
Btw for people who are confused by the singles and what’s on the album:
1. Never really over and Harleys in Hawaii are 2 of the 4 singles Katy released in 2019 to introduce a new sound for her to the gp
2. Daisies is the lead single
3. Smile was supposed to be the lead but was replaced with Daisies because it was leaked a while ago
Your new intro is beatiful as you, thanks Georgina for stayin' tune.
Great Reaction! I Love This Song! It's So Fun! The Summer Song We All Need Right Now! Take Care & Have An Amazing Week!
I love watching your reactions Georgina
QUEEN!
Loved this one. Loved the upbeat vibe. I’m glad Katy felt that she course corrected after Witness. I anticipate that the album will be very good.
She doesn't show any particular vocals, but at the last chorus some head vocals can be heard; it's a nice song and I love the rhythm; it's catchy and I hope Katy will receive what she deserves, from never really over to now
I love Georgina for being honest 💛
Agreed. I am a big Katy Perry fan too but it doesn't sound like a bop. For example, the first time I heard Rain on Me by Gaga I instantly was like: THIS IS A BOP. Also, the first time I heard Never Really Over I was like this is a bop. This song doesn't have that same feel during the first listen. I will check it out again to see if my feelings for the song change. Thanks for the reaction video!
It's catchy, it's well written but it's a bit basic. Nothing groundbreaking for her. Witness was a bolder album. 7/10
You haven't even heard the full smile album yet so you really have nothing to compare too other than a few singles...
Never worn white is probably her best song vocally. Check it out :)
I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO REACT TO THIS!!!
Lovin your great work! Keep it up!!!
I hope you'll do more reaction to Carrie Underwood's songs/albums. She's so amazing!
Yes!!!!please
Heartbeat is my fav 💕
This is a nice, cool song. I thought it was really fun. I love your channel and your reviews
It’s more the lyrics, that got me❤️
This single is definitely a grower!
Have you ever listened to her album witness? As a song writer I relate to save as draft so much and I think you’d love it!
I loved Witness. I enjoy her early stuff too, but since I'm a lot older than her base, I thought Witness showed her maturity and growth. I used to listened to it when I walked the whole summer after its release.
I didn't think it deserved the harsh criticism it received. I actually think it had more diversity than her newer stuff. But I'll always love Katy, she's so kind, Funny and has lived such a success story based on hard work.
I'm so happy I reacted to this tbh idk this song isnt my type at all ...so I hope the album does not sound like this much but I'm super excited for the album
Hello Georgina
Good beat to dance to
Cheers from Melbourne Australia 🌹🌹🌹
I Love it the song she is the Queen
well, I think everybody wants sad and depressed lyrics in a song to like it.
If I were being completely honest, I’d say that it’s a nice song with good lyrics but it’s rather repetitive and doesn’t have any defining moments. Big Katy fan, though!
Joey Joe maybe cause its a promotional song
Hi Georgina , time to time I listen also to Katy , the whole music ( not only the singing ) , because of the development of pop music that interest me . By the way I like to introduce you to something different , a Japanese singer , Happy Wedding by Yuko Suzuhana , what's your opinion , she's more popular with her band ( the founder & leader ) , Wagakki band which is quite popular in the western world because of their tour . Have a nice day .
Also, she wrote the song when she was depressed and it was about trying to get a smile back.
I think it will have a this is how we do it inspired mv
I like your new intro much better.
I love your videos
I love it
Fun pop song i loved
LUV YOU GURL!!
I just hit the like buttom before even watch the vid
It’s thankful
I agree with this opinion.
I love your videos 🤩
YOU WERE ON KATY'S STORY!!
If the song&album doesn't get Grammy nominations, then this world really does deserve the covid.
lit🔥 song
The best
Katy has such a lovely voice...loved this! Can u critique some of Chritina Grimmie's videos.. Sadly she is no longer with us as she was murdered during an autograph signing after one of her concerts in Orlando Florida back in June of 2016..but i wld love u to critique her video of Rihanna's song "Stay"
I love that song, is very catchy, a summer anthem
it's a grower. i think that's what katy wants, for us to listen to it more
🥰
katy noticed you on instagram
Did she delete?
Now i cant stop hearing faithful in place of thankful. Bye
❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙
“Dua Lip👄a” 👁👅👁
She says ‘thankful’ not faithful. ❤️
I clicked faster than usain bolt can run
It's "thankful" not "faithful". The words are not that audible tho so I wouldn't blame ya if you got that wrong. I myself had to search for the lyrics the first time I listened to it to know the words.
It is ' I'm so thankful, scratch that baby I'm grateful '
You Supposedly talking about her vocals and not the trumpets and the vibe
Arty!
I think this song will be more of a grower. I think it’s good, but I’m not completely hooked yet.
Zara larsson!!! :)
First comment ha! ❤️
Can you react to: Selena Gomez POWERFUL&AGGRESSIVE Vocals
In case you didn’t here it, there was a G5 after the bridge, it’s quite in the background.
Same thoughts.
So far this is my least favorite single off her new album. I think the song was lazily recorded. I feel like it has no stretches or cleverness going on, especially the beats and melodies were repetitive both for the verses, pre-chorus and chorus that made them indistinguishable. The upbeat and catchiness only made the song interesting, at least.
But the meaning of the song is sooo big
I think the songs meanig is her having a baby.
I like Katy but dont love this song at all. Hoping for a great album tho!
Itʼs a fun song!
I luv Katy so much. But... during the choruses she seems to sound flat and scream rather than sing. The verses are some kind boring, too. Many people hated the "Witness" album, but it gave me very deep take on the music and the theme. Most of the "Smile" album may at the end of the day sound like a random mix of tracks that's already been released + maybe some during-pregnancy thoughts based on songs. We will see... I hope this one's gonna be a good one :-)
It's a grOWER...
Katy Perry is amazing😍♥️🇧🇷
I don't like this song, just does not sound good too me, find her voice a tad grating in this song
A grower
Meh 😕
✨✨✨
It’s a flop, but to me it’s a bop and I’m not even a Katy fan
It's an ok song, thank God it wasn't the lead single...
This song is so bland. I'd take any track on Witness over this. Also, the album cover ... Oof. This is Kidz Bop material and as a KP fan, I'm disappointed.
I really like the cover, because it shows the contrast between being happy(clown) and sad(her facial expression). But I accept your opinion
