ThisGuyTony 30,207 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 It was too political and controversial, just like the other Witness singles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Hybrid 11,049 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 IMO it had everything to be a radio hit true, but: 1. It’s not a song a lot of people would want to buy tbh. It isn’t exactly targeted at little girls, which is let’s face it Katy’s target listeners. 2. So she lost her way and couldn’t hold on to new listeners, because it was somehow still too light-pop. 3. Older people are tired of Nicki Minaj. I believe this is actually true. No family’s safe when I sashay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bio 23,538 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 1. People were already over her at that point. 2. People don’t care about her drama with the snake. 3. She turned 30 so radios are automatically taking her off the playlist. 4. The 90s house sound was tired by then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvnrp 48,353 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The song is such a bop, but the SNL performance and it's "music video" killed the song. Also, everyone doesn't want to hear anything from Katy right now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMROD 109,276 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Because the lyrics is terrible, isn’t that obvious? She butchered and wasting that good beats with that kind of phrases. And her fans thinks its brave and courageous of her to try “something new”, they gotta be joking (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘢 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘢, 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
