"OK" is a song by the American singer Katy Perry. It was released on December 20, 2024, as part of the deluxe edition of her sixth studio album, 143. This deluxe edition, titled 1432, featured additional tracks, with OK later promoted as the album's fourth single in Italy.
Background and Release
[edit]OK was included as one of the new tracks in 1432, the deluxe edition of Katy Perry's 2024 album 143. Released on December 20, 2024, the song was distributed to Italian radio as a single.[1][2] This marked Perry’s first collaboration with Dr. Luke since his highly publicized legal battles with singer Kesha, drawing criticism from fans and commentators.[3]
Music and Lyrics
[edit]OK is a mid-tempo anthemic pop song with electronic production, showcasing Perry’s trademark vocal style over a polished instrumental backdrop. Lyrically, the song addresses themes of self-reliance and resilience, though critics described its message as generic and uninspired.[4][5][6]
Reception
[edit]OK received negative feedback from critics and audiences. Many felt the song lacked the creativity and impact of Perry's earlier work. Steven James, a former American Idol contestant judged by Perry, went viral on TikTok for mocking the song, claiming, “This can’t be the same person that eliminated me”.[7][8][9]
