It baffles me how Birthday and This is How We Do got the single treatment over Walking on Air and Legendary Lovers :bear:

One of her best songs omfg, the prism era was literally written out and her record slept on two of her best songs: Walking On Air & Legendary Lovers, which could've been massive hits alongside Roar & DH. I think the singles run should've been...

1. Roar
2. Dark Horse (ft. Juicy J)
-Album Release-
3. Walkking On Air
4. Legendary Lovers
5. By The Grace of God

I think Legendary Lovers would have been a single if Dark Horse didn’t take off. I feel that Dark Horse’s music video took visual elements that would have been used in Legendary Lovers (opening blood orange sun in Dark Horse, the whole Cleopatra look, magic, marching). These are all parts of the Legendary Lovers lyrics that ended up being in the Dark Horse video

I hope this song picks up on TikTok and she ends up doing a retroactive single release like Meghan Trainor or Kesha did for Title and Cannibal respectively. This song still slaps so hard in 2022, and is relevant to what is going on with the "nu-disco" trend.

The thing is even after the Dark Horse era was over, a fan asked her in person from what I can recall If Legendary Lovers is gonna be a single and she said yes confidently. Katy’s team strike me as the people who don’t like to take risks as Peacock was scrapped as a single despite Katy’s request for being too raunchy (when that same year Rihanna’s S&M went #1). I feel her team pushed against Legendary Lovers in favor for safer radio singles such as Birthday and This is How We Do. The issue is those songs didn’t really take off, as they were really stale even for Katy. I think the GP and even us Popheads would have loved a house cut like Walking On Air and a oriental tune like Legendary Lovers getting visuals, more tv performances and ultimately being moments in her career. A shame really, considering it was during her peak days.
