I love her sleepy voice in here, even though I also love the album version, I have the feeling it's "too perfect". The way she sings the verses sound "too concentrated", while in this version her voice is floating, sounds like honey.
Relya oh I get your point. That’s what I was saying too.. like it’s too polished, there’s a saying “so bad that it’s so good” and the final song is the opposite of that phrase. It’s “too perfect to be good” I’m not saying it’s bad but this is better.
This demo still gives me the chills. This could be one of her best song if they stayed with this production. Justice for Witness. This song was ahead of its time. It doesn't sound like her other song, this was honest, not biased, up to date, different, huge hit. Curse to the person who leaked this.
Que nostalgia, recuerdo mucho el día que se filtro este demo y no podía parar de escucharlo jajaj 🤧 hizo mucho ruido en twitter y fb porque sonaba muy diferente a sus anteriores canciones, ojala hubiera sido single
Exacto, hubiera sacado esta canción como single promocional pre era witness como hizo con Part of me, todos la hubieran amado. Recuerdo también ir en el transporte escuchando ese demo una y otra vez.
This supports my theory that most of the album would have been better if the songs weren’t “flattened” and had the emotion dampened. “Hey Hey Hey” - I’m looking at you too.
The KarateKid that’s right. Katy Perry is an amazing artist, but she can be extraordinary if she keeps her music more tridimensional, with some rough parts, instead of keeping it so perfect.
Omg la acabo de escuchar por primera vez desde el 2016, recuerdo cundo se filtró que todo el mundo enloqueció y se hizo tendencia mundial en twitter, porque Sonaba tan diferente y tan bien y porque Katy tenía un montón de tiempo sin sacar nada y Katy en ese momento estaba a la altura de comercial de Adela, witness estaba destinado al éxito pero su mala promoción fue lo que arruinó todo
No creo que haya sido tanto la promoción, sino por el cambio tan grande que hizo Katy en esa era, como hablar de política, colaborar con migos que en ese tiempo habían sido acusados de homofóbicos, y el cambio de look principalmente, todo eso no le gusto mucho a la gente, por eso no fue un éxito al igual que sus antiguos álbumes, la verdad witness tenía bastante potencial, pero Katy se apresuró mucho para hablar de esos temas.
Yo creo que no fue así, en si, de todo el disco oficial que fue Witness, tan solo esta canción, CTTR, Deja Vu y Hey Hey Hey son buenas, el resto una completa desilusión, y yo realmente también me emocione con Witness por esta canción que sonaba tan diferente, misteriosa y soft
@@holsxd7708 xd Espero y no seas swiftie, ppr que para hablar de desiluciones, tenemos todo Reputation y Lover que son una por queria literalmente Además de que no sabe hablar de otras cosas que no sean historias de amor, desamor y rencor
@@fid.firdhaus It's fan, not fans. And not as in fans of her. A fan as in a large spinning air machine. It's a pretty fucking common saying. Get a brain katy cat. And before you ask, I'm here for production and no I'm not a stupid Taylor fan.
It's funny how the production of this version matches so much better to the message. To me it's Max Martin's greatest mistake, considering the potential of the song and his final production.
em algumas partes a demo é melhor e em outras a original é melhor, impossível escolher qual das duas versões gostar mais, witness música (e álbum) da carreira ❤
Uma menina pobre para uma mulher incrível que mesmo na era menos popular, lançou essa demo arrepiante, e arrecadou tanto na witness the tour e ficou em primeiro lugar nas mais bem pagas de 2018 ! Katy Perry uma verdadeira rainha
@Simmy you consider the "original" one as the official one aka the album version. This one is "just" the demo, even though it's the actual original one, lol. Prefer her vocals in the verses in this demo version
this version is more raw, more personal for me, idk how to explain. the parts where there is no katy singing, makes the music more reflexive and interesting, like she's fed up of being all that things that industry wants her to be, and now she just wants to have some piece of mind, and her voice seems more tired as well, like she's tired of it all. and other thing that i love about this versuion, is that there is no whistle at the end, which i personally hate
I remember when this song leaked around 2015/16 ish I don’t remember the exact year. But I kept replaying it. people took it down after a while and I was never able to find it. It’s so nostalgic listening to it again.
Witness é INCRÍVEL. Uma das melhores da Katy. Letra perfeita, melodia. Essa versão é gostosa, mas prefiro a versão final. Mais trabalhada. O álbum então… hoje, 5 anos depois, vejo ainda mais o VALOR e o TAMANHO dele! Saudades dessa ERA! Marcou minha vida.
La verdad el concepto del álbum fue difuso entre lo pop y lo politico, acompañado de su mino crisis personal y el hecho de cortarse el cabello que para mí tuvo que ver mucho, y más detalles.
@@marcosestrada2824 el hecho que se veía tan diferente de como se veía en la era Prism fue tan decepcionante y honestamente quiero su cabello negro devuelta.
This one is just perfect for what it is. Waaaaaay better than the album version. This one really embraces you, I don't know. It's laid back, introspective, mysterious just right up my alley
Hubiera lanzado la versión con Chance the rapper pero solo darle sus líneas después del segundo coro , así como en Chained to the rhythm con el otro rapero que no recuerdo su nombre ahora . Debió ser un pre-single aunque la version oficial le metió más potencia y al final de la canción como unos silbidos le dio un tono diferente.
This song was initially potential to be a single but i wasnt anymore because of some leak demos. If you respected yourself and Katy, you wouldn’t never do that because of some dirty views! So frustrating
I think maybe part of the reason witness did so bad was because she was trying to connect with her fans, and it ended up being a disconnect. the whole album doesn't feel relatable at all, and kind of like the cliche forced album every celebrity eventually puts out. but this version is so much better, and the calmer tone is much more relaxing and inviting

It was leaked so she didn't choose this song to release as a single. But how tf that this version is even better than the one on the album
Que nostalgia, recuerdo mucho el día que se filtro este demo y no podía parar de escucharlo jajaj 🤧 hizo mucho ruido en twitter y fb porque sonaba muy diferente a sus anteriores canciones, ojala hubiera sido single
Yo DECEABA QUE LO FUERA OSEA UNA COMPLETA CANCION DIFERENTE A LAS DEMAS ICONIC
Exacto, hubiera sacado esta canción como single promocional pre era witness como hizo con Part of me, todos la hubieran amado.
Recuerdo también ir en el transporte escuchando ese demo una y otra vez.
@@richrule53 Exacto
La canción iba a ser single pero como se filtro la demo la disquera de Katy no quiso y le dijeron a Katy que cambie está canción por otra de single
También lo recuerdo. ADORO lo que hicieron con la versión final
IMO this version sounds stronger than final version
the way she sings “looking for a witness to get me through this” sounds so much more powerful in this demo. im obsessed
honestly i still prefer the actual released version, although i do agree with other people saying that the bridge is better in this.
This supports my theory that most of the album would have been better if the songs weren’t “flattened” and had the emotion dampened. “Hey Hey Hey” - I’m looking at you too.

All that heaven will allow I don’t think Katy’s to blame for that. I think that it’s her label.
@@simmy1251 yes, Agreed. She NEEDS to leave Capitol IMMEDIATELY. They have been sabotaging her since and during Witness

She sounds like she just woke up lol
Sebastian Wierzbicki maybe she did lol
And its perfect
I wonder if the lines "if shit hit the fans, grenade got thrown, would you still show?" is actually about menchester attack ??? :'(
@@fid.firdhaus no it's not, because this demo surfaced on the net on 2016, one year before that tragic event

This version makes me feel so nostalgic 💗
3:12 Should’ve kept that bit after the bridge, so then she could have her vocals come through at 3:28
This version brings back memories...
She seems to just finished a session of Lana Del Rey intensive listening. Her voice is so natural.
She sounds so sleepy here lol
Femme Fatale that’s what i thought too :v
Omg I love the instrumental ending.. I can't breathe. dsgsDSHKSLGD!!!
Me too, it's simply perfect and comfy to hear it 😍
I'm sad. The Witness record deserved so much more. They were sleeping on her. Hope 2023 she can make her emancipaciton
I love this version so fucking much!!!!
I will not forgive the people who let witness flop.
Why is the demo version so much better than the official one...
Ferdhaus Ismael because Capitol wants to keep making Katy a mainstream pop artist and don’t let her gain some depth and rawness in her music.
Matias Nicolas Ke 💀
Wtf nooo 💀
@@yeahjow8902 wow, the way I just listened to this back 30minutes ago after a few months. And then u replied to me 5minutes later 👁👄👁

If witness included this kind of tracks and Katy's sleepy voice it could've been the best Katy Perry album.
her best era and y'all let it die T.T
This sounds so uncomplete but love it still💗👀
Clever you for noticing

I love this demo! 😍
0:47 I miss this so much
2:55 The best part ever
*Why does the demo sound better than the song, not completely but her vocals resonate more here*
witnesss my favorite song
Esta canción debió de ser el single
this version is magical, but there is a whistle part from 2016 version. Ugh will they ever be undemo artists
this is amazing, but it's too empty. i know it's a demo but wherever
I prefer the album track but I think if it was blended together it would be great
Witness 3 years today omg
4 years today😖❤️
Recuerdo cuando se filtró este demo y no paraba de escucharlo. :')
Yop después de 5 años :(
Arte, todos nos movimos y fue tendencia en redes sociales
The demo really hits different.
The demo version is better than the official version
2020 👁 STAY SAFE!!!!
2020 e eu ainda não superei a Katy não ter colocado essa versão no álbum AAAAAAAAAAA
2022 e eu ainda não superei tbm
@@luansantos9073 2023 e eu ainda não superei
Adoro essa versão, mas acho que ela acertou muito na versão final! Essa é mais soft. A do álbum mais trabalhada. Adoro os whistles do final tb 😍

omg she sound so sad
Ojalá el disco hubiese seguido estos ritmos mas soft
f**k me up with this bridge
Alguien más extraña la era witness?
Yoooo 😭
YOOOOO
Es mejor el demo que la versión oficial
This was better, the album version sounds more commercial and predictable, this is thrilling
this was the song i heard before the album came out, and i loved it so much, stil tho
this version is most better, than the version what she made official.
I love this
Hubiera dado lo que fuera porque lanzara esta versión :( hubiera sido un HIT

I remember when it was leaked and I used to hear it until I slept on the bus... this version is so much better
I'm sorry but this is so underated. Why the producers decide to ruin this song? This way it's perfect.
You can hear max Martin around 50
How did you get this before the album came out?
Ernesto Estrada the demo of "Witness" got leaked 1 year before the album
Tbh, Im kinda confused where the silent parts of the song and the intro to the chorus
SeanKeithnym it wasn’t finished
im crying
This one is just perfect for what it is. Waaaaaay better than the album version. This one really embraces you, I don't know. It's laid back, introspective, mysterious just right up my alley
This version is soo hypnotic 😍
It's better than the original
Só quem viveu sabe...em 2017, tudo começou lá, quando a mesma soltou a demo de propósito. Saudades ❤
Hubiera lanzado la versión con Chance the rapper pero solo darle sus líneas después del segundo coro , así como en Chained to the rhythm con el otro rapero que no recuerdo su nombre ahora .

Eliot Lowk and you watched it
HOW DID GET THAT AT THIS MOMENT ???????? ONE MONTH AND A HALF BEFORE IT CAME OUT ???????????????? SHOOK
Arié Amzallag it was leaked in 2016. Most of Witness leaked before it was released
If she made this a single the black & white aesthetic from CTTR cover would continue.
Way better than the album version
The endig that bass hit me right into my soul i love it
I think maybe part of the reason witness did so bad was because she was trying to connect with her fans, and it ended up being a disconnect. the whole album doesn't feel relatable at all, and kind of like the cliche forced album every celebrity eventually puts out. but this version is so much better, and the calmer tone is much more relaxing and inviting
This song has always been my favorite from the album and I always wanted it to be a single. I’m so sad to finally find out why.....
Y pensar que este himno debuto dentro del bbh100 en el #16 aun siendo canción filtrada 🤧🤧 su impacto
?
It didn't?
?
las canciones filtradas no pueden entrar en el hot 100 😆
the biggest
GOD!!! I love this song(demo) so much, one of her best 💜
who is here in 2024? 🤗🤩💜💌✌🏼🤌🏼
*Maybe people preferred this because it has more instrumental than vocals. because this is demo/unfinished song so there's lack of vocals 🤧*
I would say that it’s worse then the official version, but I was taught not to lie.
