The album’s title draws inspiration from the numerical expression of love, reflecting Perry’s aim to create a vibrant, uplifting dance-pop experience.
“Woman’s World,” the lead single from “143,” is poised dropped July 11 at 4:00 PM PT. This empowering anthem, co-written with Chloe Angelides and produced by a team including Dr. Luke and Rocco Did It Again!, celebrates womanhood in all its diversity.

She’s achieved numerous milestones, including being one of only twelve artists to surpass 100 million certified units with solo releases.
Perry’s discography boasts multiple diamond-certified singles, including “Firework,” “Dark Horse,” “Roar,” “California Gurls,” “E.T.,” and “Teenage Dream.” Her albums, from the 3x Platinum “One of the Boys” to the diamond-certified “Teenage Dream” and beyond, have consistently produced chart-topping hits.
Beyond her musical achievements, Perry is known for her philanthropic efforts. She serves as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, advocates for LGBTQ+ equality, and runs her own Firework Foundation to empower underprivileged children through the arts.
