Description Hide Show “Smile” is the sixth studio album by American singer Katy Perry, released on August 28, 2020, by Capitol Records. The album marks a return to her pop roots after the more introspective and experimental “Witness” (2017). “Smile” is characterized by its upbeat and optimistic themes, reflecting Perry’s personal journey through a period of depression and self-doubt. The album opens with “Never Really Over,” a track that was released as a single in May 2019. The song, co-written by Perry, Zedd, and others, is a high-energy pop anthem about the lingering feelings after a breakup. Its infectious chorus and pulsating beat set the tone for the rest of the album. “Smile,” the title track, is another standout. Co-written by Perry, the song is a buoyant, self-empowerment anthem that reflects her journey to finding happiness and self-acceptance. The lyrics, “Yeah, I’m thankful / Scratch that, baby, I’m grateful,” encapsulate the album’s overarching theme of resilience and positivity. “Daisies,” released as a single in May 2020, is a mid-tempo pop song with a powerful message about perseverance and staying true to oneself. The song’s production is relatively stripped-back compared to some of Perry’s earlier work, allowing her vocals to take center stage. “Not the End of the World” is a playful, upbeat track that combines elements of pop and trap. The song’s lyrics encourage listeners to stay positive and keep going, even when things seem bleak. Its catchy hook and energetic production make it one of the more memorable tracks on the album. “Resilient” is a slower, more introspective song that highlights Perry’s vocal range and emotional depth. The lyrics, “I am resilient / Born to be brilliant,” reinforce the album’s themes of strength and perseverance. “Teary Eyes” is a dance-pop track that deals with the theme of dancing through the pain. The song’s upbeat tempo contrasts with its more somber lyrics, creating a sense of catharsis. “Champagne Problems” is a fun, upbeat track that deals with the ups and downs of a relationship. The song’s production is reminiscent of Perry’s earlier work, with its catchy chorus and infectious beat. “Tucked” is a playful, flirtatious song about keeping a secret crush. The song’s lighthearted lyrics and upbeat production make it one of the more fun tracks on the album. “Harleys in Hawaii,” released as a single in October 2019, is a sultry, mid-tempo track that showcases a different side of Perry. The song’s laid-back production and catchy chorus make it a standout. “Only Love” is a heartfelt ballad that reflects on the importance of love and connection. The song’s lyrics, “If I had nothing but love / I’d be alright,” encapsulate the album’s message of finding joy and meaning in life. “What Makes a Woman” is a feminist anthem that celebrates the complexity and strength of women. The song’s acoustic production and heartfelt lyrics make it a fitting closer for the album. Overall, “Smile” is a cohesive and uplifting album that showcases Katy Perry’s growth as an artist and a person. The album’s themes of resilience, self-acceptance, and positivity are timely and relatable, making it a welcome addition to Perry’s discography. While some critics have noted that the album doesn’t break new ground musically, its infectious energy and heartfelt messages make it a standout in Perry’s career.
