Katy Perry is back with her first major release since 2020 with 143, an album jam-packed with provocative pop anthems like “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE” featuring Doechii. The track is a confident proclamation of mutual obsession as both artists trade lines that confidently spell out to listeners how they are every woman their man will ever need.
This track served as the third single from Perry’s most recent album. Shiny synth lines prove to be the most infectious aspect of the track, providing a floaty sonic jolt to the otherwise straightforward beat that elevates the single’s ear-worm appeal.
Perry unveiled “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE” during a career-spanning medley of her biggest hits at this year’s VMAs, an event at which Perry pulled double duty as both the event’s host and performer. If that wasn’t enough of a statement, she also took home the coveted Video Vanguard Award, the annual lifetime achievement award whose previous recipients include Missy Elliot, Beyoncé, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers to name a few.
Although this latest single has been part of Perry’s return to the spotlight, it is impossible to overlook Doechii’s presence on the track. Her verse oozes confidence and her half of the hook is an embodiment of the confidence the track aims to communicate.
In just a few bars she steals the show, proving that she is capable of holding her own against some of the industry’s most accomplished veterans. Alongside the release of her mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, her contribution here adds yet another highlight to the rising star’s biggest year to date.
Not only is “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE” available anywhere you find your music, but its release was accompanied by a video that displays the passion that each artist brought to the song. Make sure you check out this track, as it signals both the return of one of pop music’s most iconic figures and the continued rise of one of music’s most intriguing voices.
