Good thing I prefer to form my own opinions rather than assimilating mine from Katy's fan base

"Walking On Air" has the chintziest Eurosynths I've ever heard, one of Katy's worst vocal performances ever, and massively cringeworthy lyrics ("you're reading me like erotica / boy you make me feel exotic, yeah" ). "Legendary Lovers" is a snoozefest and is essentially just "Unconditionally" but with slight bhangra influences. The chorus is totally nothing. Apparently Katy's idea of being super serious and super mature actually means being super boring.

"This Is How We Do" isn't a particularly good song, either, but at least it doesn't take itself too seriously like "Legendary Lovers."

I actually agree with you sazare. Especially on the overrated LL.

Unconditionally remains in Katy's top ten overall songs

Too bad the GP wasn't bright enough to realize the pop masterpiece that hit them in the face.

wait ? what ? not the only song I was rooting for being so low down the charts ? but I believe once she promotes it enough and releases a music video it should rise and chart decently



not really the only song since I love walking on air and TIHWD too

it's already that high only of the single cover being revealed. she already has a song in the top three of iTunes, how high did you think it was going to be?

Top 100 since it's Katy Perry.

I agreee Legendary Lovers is pure trash and the Yoga yrics don't help

It's actually really good until it gets to the chorus. The way she pronounces "unconditional" is just ridiculous. She puts the stresses on all the wrong syllables. And so much bluster.

why are people around here easily threatened and bothered when all I said is that I'm rooting for this song and love it and wish that it takes off soon after she moves on from DH (which looks like it's going to take a while since it's still doing really good)

(This is how we do, This is how we do)
Oh oh
Sipping on Rosé, Silver Lake sun, coming up all lazy
(This is how we do)
Slow cooking pancakes for my boy, still up, still fresh as a Daisy
Playing ping pong all night long, everything's all neon and hazy
(This is how we do)

Chanel this, Chanel that, hell yeah
All my girls vintage Chanel baby

It's no big deal, it's no big deal, it's no big deal
This is no big deal

This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stuntin' yeah we do it like that
This is how we do, do do do do, this is how we do

This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stuntin' yeah we do it like that
This is how we do, do do do do, this is how we do

Big hoops, and maroon lips, my clique hoppin' in my Maserati
(This is how we do)
Santa Barbara, chique, at La Super Rica, grabbing tacos, checking out hotties
Now we talking astrology, getting our nails did, all Japanese-y
(This is how we do)
Day drinking at the Wildcats, sucking real bad at Mariah karaoke

It's no big deal, it's no big deal, it's no big deal
This is no big deal

This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stuntin' yeah we do it like that
This is how we do, do do do do, this is how we do

This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stuntin' yeah we do it like that
This is how we do, do do do do, this is how we do

This one goes out to the ladies at breakfast in last night's dress
(It's how we do, straight stuntin' like that)
Uh-huh, I see you
Yo, this goes out to all you kids that still have their cars at the club valet and it's Tuesday
(This is how we do yeah straight stuntin like that)
Yo, shout out to all you kids, buying bottle service, with your rent money
Respect

This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stuntin' yeah we do it like that
This is how we do, do do do do, this is how we do

This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stuntin' yeah we do it like that
This is how we do, do do do do, this is how we do

This is how we do
This goes out to all you people going to bed with a ten and waking up with a two
This is how we do (straight stuntin like that)
Ha, not me

This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stuntin' ya we do it like that
This is how we do, do do do do, this is how we do

What? Wait. No, no, no, no.
Bring the beat back.
That's right

(This is how we do), oh oh
This is how we do), oh oh

What is this then?

They're quite cringeworthy, yes, but the song is also 100% less pretentious: it's supposed to be stupid. Her inane lyrics don't fall so flat on their face when they're not trying so hard to be serious or clever.

Aunt Connie remains unbothered.

No, it's not!

Katy probably thinks This is How We Do is lyrically genius.

Are you saying Walking on Air is serious, pretentious and clever?

Huncle's bothered though...

[Baha]

so what's katy's next move?

radio release?
music video?
live performance?

Something has to be done to promote this song. Otherwise sales are not good enough.

[Poxy]

is it really that bad the song is not smashing yet? how did last friday night do when it was first released? or firework??

Uncle went from 847 to 89 position overnight when Katy started promoting the song.

Meh. I think she thinks she's funny. Katy's no Louis C.K. but she's closer to that than J.J. Abrams.

It's certainly not trying to be clever, but it is trying to be at least somewhat serious.
