Katy Perry is back and bringing all she’s got on 143, a return to her infectious, chart-topping dance-pop roots. And with it she’s officially launched a new era - one filled with love, light, and beats that won’t quit. Named after the numeric code for "I love you," 143 delivers a celebratory message of love, passion, and empowerment. Perry, who’s known for her ability to come up with instantly singable pop anthems, has packed the record with high-energy, provocative tracks that are unapologetically sexy and fierce. It’s a reminder that after nearly two decades at the party, she’s still the life of it - and she makes it clear that everyone’s invited.

Following her 2020 album Smile, which found her exploring a more reflective side of her life, 143 represents a fearless return to form. It’s a dance-floor-ready celebration, brimming with heart and powered by pulsating BPMs that will get fans moving. “I set out to create a bold, exuberant, celebratory dance-pop album with the symbolic 143 numerical expression of love as a throughline message,” Perry explained in a recent statement. The result? A record that’s both an emotional high and a physical rush, perfectly fitting into the pop landscape she helped shape.

But 143 isn’t just a nostalgia trip for longtime fans. It’s a fresh, modern take on the dance-pop formula that made her a superstar, with a fearless confidence that pulses through every track. The album's themes of love and empowerment are delivered with Perry’s trademark wink - playful, sultry, and never taking herself too seriously. At a time when pop music is often chasing trends, Perry has doubled down on what she does best, writing irresistible hooks, big, booming choruses, and lyrics that are both cheeky and heartfelt.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2008 with One Of The Boys - and the provocative smash hit “I Kissed A Girl” - Perry remains one of pop’s most unstoppable forces. With over 100 million certified sales units and a staggering 115 billion streams, she’s among the best-selling artists of all time. Her influence is undeniable, whether she’s setting trends with her larger-than-life music videos or headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, where she famously gave the world Left Shark during an unforgettable performance. With 143, Perry is back at the top of her game, reminding us why we fell in love with her in the first place.
