The lowdown: Over a shimmery melody, Katy attempts some good old conflict resolution. But bouncing between genuine atonement, passive-aggressive condescension and pushing blame onto the other person (Russell Brand?), she takes an approach that’s bound to lead to only more conflict. It’s the sort of non-apology apology that’s perfect for reality TV, which perhaps explains why she sings about throwing someone under the bus.
ATRL says...: Katy's "best song ever," lovesong said. "For once the lyrics are kind of good." August didn't know "who's at fault for this: Emeli Sandé's bland writing or Katy Perry's bland vocals performance. I appreciate the apologetic undertone and I accept your apology, Katy, you didn't force me to get through this album, this rate did." Edge of Glory offered a harsh wake-up call: "This will never be a single, Kats. Aside from the fact that it's a bonus track (hint: the last pop star to release a successful bonus track was Nicki Minaj over 3 years ago), it's just not that good. End transmission."
Best bit: Let's go with the "I'm not innocent" line, since it offers a reminder of "Oops!...I Did It Again" and what good music sounds like.
It Takes Two: one of my least favorite songs from Prism. It felt forced and a leftover from Emelie Sandé's catalog. But I like them together. They should work again because they could create something magical
Why do I find this so good now?
