KATY Perry has revealed her comeback single, Woman’s World, on TikTok.
The former American Idol judge secretly revealed the song’s title three months ago at the Billboard Music Awards.
On Monday, Katy, 39, shared a snippet of herself singing along to the new song on social media.
In the video, the Fireworks singer appeared to be on the set of her music video as she sported a sheer bikini top that showed off an ample amount of cleavage and underboob.
She paired the top with matching white bottoms, made of the same woven material, and a pair of leather chaps.
Katy’s hair was styled into loose waves and her makeup was touched to perfection for the video.
She also donned a metal and glass choker in the TikTok.
The post was captioned, “WOMAN’S WORLD SONG JULY 11 VIDEO JULY 12 PRE-SAVE + PRE-ORDER GET READY TO POP OFF KATYPERRY.COM.”
In the comment section, one fan wrote, “KATY PERRY IS BAACK!!!!”
“The hair, the body, the max martin production, the confidence. OH KATY PERRY IS SO BACK,” commented another.
Katy appeared to secretly tease the upcoming single’s title during the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.
In another of the singer’s TikToks, taken backstage at the show with Ice Spice, Katy recorded herself saying, “It’s a woman’s world and you’re lucky to be living in it.”
In the comment section of the old post, one fan went back and wrote, “Sneaky sneaky.”
“Ohhh i SEE what you did there!! #WomansWorld,” added a second.
KATY’S REPLACEMENT
With a new album on the horizon, Katy quit American Idol after Season 22.
Recently, Meghan Trainor, 30, showed interest in filling the open judge spot when she appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
“I’ve done every interview in the world and said that that is my dream job and I have emailed three awesome people who work in that world,” Meghan revealed.
The Made You Look singer added that those people “don’t have the final say but that “begged” anyway.
It’s unknown who will fill Katy’s seat now that she’s left the show but Meghan does have a leg up on the competition.
She has hosted international iterations of the competition series, and both Luke Bryan and host Ryan Seacrest previously said she would be a good fit for the show.
Ryan, 49, speculated about the Me Too singer appearing on the show during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
“She was very good,” he said.
“Meghan is a super talent too, and she’s got a great sense of humor. She’s fun and she’s spontaneous.”
Luke, 47, agreed.
“I think Meghan’s always been real fun. You know, that’s kinda been her brand, to have fun. [She’s] real witty, so certainly.”
Meghan hasn’t been chosen yet, however.
“I have begged for this job,” she told Andy, 56.
“I haven’t heard any updates, so check my emails, but that is my dream job. I want to drive to work at American Idol and then drive home.”
Katy judged alongside Luke and Lionel Richie.
She announced her departure from the show in February amid major criticism from viewers.

Kelly said that she’s putting her children – River, nine, and Remington, eight – first, doing her best to be present in their lives.
“I wanted a life for us. And we enjoy the park every day, and we enjoy each other,” she said.
“As a parent – people get this – you only get so much time until they don’t want to hang out with you. That’s the reason [I can’t do Idol]. It’s my kiddos.”
