Just over 24 hours after setting the MTV Video Music Awards stage ablaze with a live debut, Katy Perry and rising star Doechii have officially dropped their sizzling new collaboration, “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE”.

The track, packed with attitude and allure, features a bold sample of Crystal Waters‘ iconic 90s hit, “Gypsy Woman”, giving the song an infectious, groovy undercurrent that blends perfectly with the duo’s sultry performance.

In this provocative duet, Perry and Doechii mark their respective territories when it comes to love, taking no prisoners as they assert their dominance in their relationships. The song is a playful yet powerful anthem of confidence and empowerment, perfectly capturing Perry’s signature mix of boldness and fun.

The track was penned by an all-star team of songwriters, including Katy Perry herself, alongside Ferras, LunchMoney Lewis, Theron Thomas, Ryan OG, Dr. Luke, Rocco Did It Again!, Doechii, Crystal Waters, and Neal Conway.

“I’M HIS, HE’S MINE” marks the third single from Perry’s highly anticipated album, “143”, which is set to drop just one week after the song’s release. This follows her earlier singles “Woman’s World” and “Lifetimes”, both of which have made waves, though “Woman’s World” sparked some controversy due to the involvement of Dr. Luke, a figure who has been a subject of scrutiny in recent years.

The buzz surrounding “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE” kicked into high gear during the 2024 VMAs when Perry, who was being honored with the prestigious Video Vanguard Award, surprised the audience by bringing out Doechii to perform a snippet of the track. The performance was nothing short of electrifying, with the pair exchanging sultry verses before locking lips in a show-stopping moment that left the crowd—including Taylor Swift—gasping in shock.

After the jaw-dropping performance, Perry accepted her Vanguard Award from none other than her partner, actor Orlando Bloom, who presented her with the coveted Moon Person trophy. In her emotional acceptance speech, Perry expressed deep gratitude for her long-lasting career. “There are so many things that have to align to have a long and successful career as an artist,” she said. “There are no decade-long accidents.”

She also took a moment to thank her devoted fanbase, affectionately known as the “KatyKats,” for their unwavering support, along with a heartfelt shoutout to the LGBTQ+ community. “I would not be here without you,” Perry said, acknowledging the community’s role in her success. “You’ve shown me that you can be both kind and fierce, and that’s something I will always carry with me.”

Adding to the excitement, the official music video for “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE” premiered shortly after the single’s release. Directed by the acclaimed duo TORSO, known for their groundbreaking work with Charli XCX, Kali Uchis, Nicki Minaj, and Shakira, the video delivers an edgy, visually captivating experience. Set against a backdrop of neon-drenched streets and opulent, retro-inspired interiors, the video sees Perry and Doechii fully embracing their characters. They move through scenes that are both glamorous and provocative, blending high fashion with unapologetic sensuality.

The chemistry between the two artists radiates through the screen, with both showcasing their unique personas—Perry’s playful pop star energy meshing seamlessly with Doechii’s fierce, boundary-pushing style. TORSO’s direction amplifies the song’s themes of power and possession, crafting a visual narrative that’s as striking as it is bold. From dramatic lighting to iconic fashion moments, the video pushes the boundaries of pop visuals, proving that Perry remains at the forefront of both music and fashion.

With “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE”, Katy Perry continues to push boundaries, both musically and visually, proving once again that she remains one of pop music’s most captivating and enduring stars. And with “143” just around the corner, fans can expect even more surprises from the chart-topping icon.
