Following the disastrous Woman’s World, Katy Perry’s Lifetimes music video receives overwhelming appreciation from fans.

Katy Perry dropped the music video for her new song Lifetimes on Thursday — after her forthcoming album’s lead single Woman’s World bombed.

The 13-time Grammy nominee, 39, shot the entire project on location in Ibiza while vacationing with fiance Orlando Bloom and their daughter Daisy Dove, three, in July.

The nearly four-minute music video captures a mostly bikini-clad Perry partying on the Spanish island with her real-life friends.

Fans quickly drew comparisons to her iconic Teenage Dream music video from 2010 — from the video’s care-free, summer vibes to Perry’s raw beauty caught on retro film.

‘Okay but wow the Lifetimes music video to me is giving the Teenage Dream music video but all matured and with wealth now,’ one excited fan gushed on X (formerly Twitter).

Another declared that ‘Katy Perry is back.’

The reception to Lifetimes is starkly different from that of Perry’s female empowerment anthem Woman’s World that was released on July 11.

Woman’s World, accompanied by a glossy, high budget and hyper-𝓈ℯ𝓍ualized music video, was meant to mark Perry’s long-awaited comeback — though it failed to crack the Top 10 and landed at number 63 in it’s first complete tracking week.

It also faced backlash as it was revealed that Perry had agreed to work with music producer Dr. Luke, 50, on her forthcoming album despite his highly publicized legal battle with fellow pop star Kesha, 37.

A source previously told DailyMail.com that Perry was ‘freaking out’ over the flop and holding crisis talks in an attempt to save her album rollout.

Shortly after, Perry confirmed that Lifetimes would be the second single off her new album 143.

‘Y’all I’m gonna say it….#LIFETIMES MV is better than Woman’s World It’s SO BEAUTIFUL I didn’t expect the MV to be THIS GOOD,’ one devout ‘KatyCat’ penned on X shortly after the video’s release Thursday.

Another wrote: ‘Katy Perry is goingg to rock the world againn..!! Lifetimes is such a BOP!’

Many fans feel that Lifetimes should have served as Perry’s lead single — not Woman’s World.

‘Why wasn’t this the first single ? This makes woman’s world seem like an unreleased demo,’ one X user wondered.

Fans quickly drew comparisons to her iconic Teenage Dream music video from 2010 as they took to social media to praise her latest single

The Lifetimes music video begins with footage of Perry in a pink crop top and faux leather shorts snacking during an idyllic ferry ride to Ibiza.

Once she lands on the island, she hits the beach in a skimpy zebra-print bikini — showing off her incredible post-𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 body in all its glory.

As an Easter Egg for fans, Perry revealed the full track list for 143 — to be released September 20 — on a billboard behind her in one shot.

Next, the raven haired beauty is clad in a 𝓈ℯ𝓍y silver chrome dress that she rented from a local shop for $200 as she rides on the back of a hunky, tattooed man’s motorcycle.

The shots of Perry riding along the Island’s coast and dancing in the sand in a bikini top mirror iconic scenes from 2010’s Teenage Dream.

Unlike Lifetimes, Teenage Dream was famously shot on location in Perry’s hometown of Santa Barbara, California.

Perry is then joined at the beach by many of her real-life friends — including DJ Mia Moretti — as they push her out into the water in a bright yellow canoe.

Next, Perry, rocking a netted white swimsuit cover-up, snacks on fresh shrimp on a platter with Mia on a speedboat.

As the sunsets, a bikini-clad Perry flashes her backside as she climbs up rocks on the shore and jumps back into the water.

Sporting a strapless bandeau top and a netted sarong, Perry sings into the camera while standing on top of a cliff.

As nightfalls, Perry slips into a 𝓈ℯ𝓍y red look that exposes her thong to go clubbing with her pals and other vacationers.

The footage was captured during a real club appearance at Pacha nightclub that Perry made last month during her Ibiza getaway, where she threw pizza slices into the crowd.

It was also where she played Lifetimes in its entirety for the first time.

Perry’s seen hanging out at the DJ booth with pal Mia as the excited crowd jumps along to the song’s EDM-inspired beat.

After her wild night of partying, Perry is seen sitting idly on the ferry with a water bottle and a barf bag in hand.

The Lifetimes music video was directed by Matias ‘STILLZ’ Vasquez.

Ahead of the song’s release, Perry revealed how her daughter inspired Lifetimes in an appearance on The One Show.

She said that the idea for the tune stemmed from a sweet exchange between her and the tot.

The proud mom gushed, ‘Lifetimes is a song that I wrote inspired by my daughter. Obviously, I tell her ”I love you” before she goes to bed every night, but I’ve started telling her, ”Will you find me in every lifetime?” and she says ”Yes.”’

The singer-songwriter shared another anecdote: ‘The sweetest thing is we’ve been all over Europe this summer and we’ve been to a lot of beaches and I bought a big stack of chocolate gold coins, and when we’re building sandcastles I will hide them as she’s digging and she will find them, so she loves finding chocolate coins.

‘So the other day I said, “Will you find me in every lifetime?” and she said, ”Yes and we’ll find chocolate coins together!”‘

She also discussed her album 143 and why she went with the unique title.

‘That’s my angel numbers. It’s what I see when I need guidance or confirmation, or just confidence I’m in the right place, right time,’ she explained.

Perry’s album is co-produced by Dr. Luke, who singer Kesha has accused of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual assault and rape.

Perry previously worked with the music producer on her hit singles I Kissed A Girl and Teenage Dream, among others.

Katy began teasing new music in late June and Woman’s World – the lead single — was released in July.
