143 is the seventh studio album by American singer Katy Perry.[1] It was released on September 20, 2024, by Capitol Records. The album title represents the phrase "I love you",[a] and is also Perry's symbolic "angel number".[b] As her first album since Smile (2020), 143 includes themes of self-love and empowerment, inspired by her motherhood.
In order to create a "dance party" album, she worked with previous collaborators Max Martin, Dr. Luke, and Stargate, while also approaching first-time collaborators Vaughn Oliver and Rocco Did It Again!. Dr. Luke's involvement in the album was widely criticized because of fellow singer Kesha's sexual assault allegations against him. 143 features guest appearances from German singer Kim Petras and American rappers 21 Savage, Doechii and JID.
Three singles preceded the album's release: "Woman's World" was released as the lead single on July 11, 2024. The song peaked at number 63 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number 47 on the UK Singles Chart, and reached number 65 on the Billboard Global 200, Perry's second-highest charting entry on the latter. It was followed by the single "Lifetimes" on August 8, and "I'm His, He's Mine" featuring Doechii on September 13. Commercially, the album debuted at number six on both the US Billboard 200 chart and the UK Albums Chart, while reaching the top ten in eight other countries. In support of the album, Perry is set to embark on the Lifetimes Tour in 2025. A deluxe edition, titled 1432, with four additional tracks was released on December 20, 2024.
143 received negative reviews from music critics, becoming the worst-reviewed album of Perry's career. They criticized the album as a product of Perry's creative stagnancy, and considered its songwriting subpar and the production outdated and insipid; several compared 143 to AI-generated music.
