Below are some of their reactions:"hmm, not sure about this... that date feels way too soon for a major release with zero official promo outside of this single image. tbh her last album 143 came out just a year ago in Sept 2024, so I kinda doubt they’d rush another era. is Pop Base sure this isn't just an internal leak or maybe a fake cover? I have not seen anything on her official site.", noted an X user."wow that's so soon! I'd have thought she'd wait longer. the cover art looks super raw, honestly it's giving me total One of the Boys energy, really like this vibe. are we expecting an album announcement too or is this just a standalone single, do u know?", commented another."Max martin, Andrew Watt, circuit being on production credits. Girl if you still are not able to make a hit then im afraid its time to retire although we are SAT this time", penned a third.Others also chimed in:"Katy Perry is coming back to take over the music industry yet again 😭 her prime era had so many classics.", hyped a fan."Katy Perry calling her new single 'bandaids' just confirms she needed a quick fix after that whole Canadian Prime Minister situation. You know she needed to cover up those political oopsies. 🇨🇦😂", stated another."Yeah those of us who are team Kesha will not be supporting. We remember last year. Wdc either that Dr. Luke didn’t produce this song. She still worked with him willingly last year and gave a shit excuse as to why", commented a third.Katy Perry is currently on the road for her Lifetimes Tour to support her latest album, 143.
