Pop star Katy Perry is facing a feminist backlash after reports that her new song, “Woman’s World,” a supposed celebration of women’s rights, was linked to a music producer called Dr. Luke, who Kesha has accused of drugging and raping her.
Katy Perry is set to release “Woman’s World” on July 11, but posted a short sample of the song on social media last week, which includes the lyrics, “It’s a woman’s world. You’re lucky to live in it.”

Now Perry is facing feminist backlash from disgruntled fans after it was revealed that her new song was co-produced with Dr. Luke.
In 2014, pop star Kesha accused Dr. Luke of drugging and raping her nine years ago. Kesha also claimed that during their working relationship, he had been emotionally abusive, insulting her voice and appearance.
Dr Luke denied the allegations, accusing Kesha of making defamatory statements, and a lengthy legal battle ensued before finally reaching a settlement last year.
Earlier this month, Rolling Stone magazine broken News that Katy Perry will be teaming up with Dr. Luke and a number of other producers for her next album, “Woman’s World.”
Additionally, Kesha appeared to criticize Perry’s new song in a post by X last week.

As a result, fans began accusing Perry of hypocritical feminism.
First of all, these likes are bought, secondly…Women’s World…was created by none other than Dr. Luke…the same man who abused Kesha…but Women’s World is right pic.twitter.com/ZG0U3tLosF https://t.co/9zP2wFupvy

Sorry, but you won’t be able to listen to Katy Perry’s new song, which was written, composed and produced by Dr. Luke.
I don’t like Dr. Luke for many reasons and I personally can’t support his career.
Sorry Katie but I’m so disappointed. pic.twitter.com/4VJGNsH9iw

Unfortunately, Woman’s World was produced by Kim Petras’ producers Dr Luke and Aaron Joseph, and this information comes from a preview provided by UMG to YouTube: I am so disappointed in Katy Perry, it’s insane to make a song called Woman’s World and then work with two rapists. pic.twitter.com/7u2irYsFQ0

The fact that Katy Perry is working with Dr. Luke again just to resurrect her fading career while releasing a new song about female empowerment shows just how morally bankrupt she is.

She’s got Al*Pisto to produce and do backing vocals on a song about female empowerment…what a loser https://t.co/3paJyam7la pic.twitter.com/3R7fduPmab
