Katy Perry Announces Doechii Collaboration for New Single

Katy Perry is making a return with her latest single and video, “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE,” featuring rapper Doechii, set to drop on Friday, Sept. 13.

Perry announced the news on social media on Sept. 10, teasing fans with a sneak peek of the song, which serves as the latest release from Perry’s upcoming dance-pop album 143, dropping Sept. 20.

The collaboration news comes following controversy surrounding Perry’s previous single “Woman’s World,” which was produced by Dr. Luke, who has been involved in legal battles over accusations of sexual misconduct, most famously with Kesha.

In a Sept. 4 episode of Call Her Daddy, Perry addressed the controversy and acknowledged that the collaboration “started a lot of conversations.”

“He was one of many collaborators that I collaborated with,” she continued of Dr. Luke, who helped craft “California Gurls,” “Teenage Dream” and several more of her biggest hits over the years.

“But the reality is, it comes from me. The truth is, I wrote these songs from my experience of my whole life going through this metamorphosis, and he was one of the people to help facilitate all that. One of the writers, one of the producers.”

“I am speaking from my own experience,” Perry added. “When I speak about ‘Woman’s World,’ I speak about feeling so empowered now as a mother, as a woman, giving birth, creating life … I’m still a matriarch and feeling really grounded in that. That’s where I’m speaking from. So I created all of this with several different collaborators, people that I’ve collaborated with from the past, from the ‘Teenage Dream’ era, all of that.”

Perry first skyrocketed to fame with her 2008 album One of the Boys, propelled by the massive success of “I Kissed a Girl,” which became her first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1.

Perry’s third album, Teenage Dream (2010), marked a historic moment as it produced five consecutive No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, a record previously held only by Michael Jackson. Iconic hits such as “Firework,” “California Gurls,” and “E.T.” helped shape Perry’s reputation as a global pop powerhouse.

Her follow-up albums, including Prism (2013) and Witness (2017), continued her chart success, with “Roar” and “Dark Horse” both reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Over her career, Perry has amassed nine Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles, 14 Top 10 hits, and several accolades, including being named Billboard’s Woman of the Year in 2012.
