“I’ve been talking about (doing) two albums the past eight years and that’s a dance album and an acoustic album,” she said on Instagram Live.
“I haven’t yet made the acoustic album. Well, we never stop writing. But I finally made the dance album, the album I always wanted to make. This record is super high energy, it’s super summer, it’s very high BPM,” she continued. “We just had a family dance party to one of the songs, and it’s just full of so much joy, so much love, so much light.”

As per Variety, while signing vinyl inserts for 143, Perry previewed three songs from the album on both Instagram Live and TikTok Live. The first clip she played was for a song called I’m His He’s Mine featuring Doechii, constructed around a sample of Crystal Waters’ 1991 hit Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless). She followed with an upbeat number entitled Nirvana as well as Gimme Gimme featuring 21 Savage.
“143 is honestly a dance party,” she added on TikTok. “All fandoms, invited. And it’s high energy, lots of love, mostly lots of love and BPM, summer, sexy. And it’s for ya’ll.”
Perry initially teased this upcoming era last month with the news that its first single, Woman’s World, will arrive July 11 along with a music video. Though no tour has been announced, she mentioned on TikTok that she cleared her schedule so she’d be able to tour in the near future.
