'''''143''''' is the seventh studio album by ~~the~~ American singer [[Katy Perry]],. It was released on September 20, 2024, by [[Capitol Records]]. The ~~numeric~~album title not only represents the phrase "I love you" ~~expression~~, but~~, as Perry stated,~~ is also ~~her~~Perry's symbolic "angel number". As Perry's first album since ''[[Smile (Katy Perry album)|Smile]]'' (2020), ''143'' ~~expands on the~~includes themes of self-love and empowerment, inspired by her motherhood.

In order to create a "[[dance party]]" album, Perry worked with previous collaborators [[Max Martin]], [[Dr. Luke]], and [[Stargate (record producers)|Stargate]], while also approaching first-time collaborators [[Vaughn Oliver]] and [[Rocco Did It Again!]]. Dr. Luke's involvement in the album was widely criticized because of fellow singer [[Kesha]]'s [[Kesha v. Dr. Luke|sexual assault allegations against him]]. ''143'' features guest appearances from German singer [[Kim Petras]] and American rappers [[JID]], [[21 Savage]] and [[Doechii]].

Three singles preceded the album's release: "[[Woman's World (Katy Perry song)|Woman's World]]" was released as the [[lead single]] on July 11, 2024. The song peaked at number 63 on the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] and number 47 on the [[UK singles chart]]. It was followed by the ~~promotional~~ single "[[Lifetimes (song)|Lifetimes]]" on August 8, and "[[I'm His, He's Mine (Katy Perry and Doechii song)|I'm His, He's Mine]]" featuring Doechii on September 13. Commercially, the album ~~surpassed most first-week sales predictions and~~ debuted at number six on both the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] chart and the [[UK Albums Chart]], while reaching the top ten in six other countries. In support of the album, Perry is set to embark on [[the Lifetimes Tour]] in 2025.

''143'' received ~~mostly~~ negative reviews from music critics, becoming the worst-reviewed album of Perry's career. The album was criticized as being creatively stagnant, with its songwriting considered subpar and its production outdated and insipid. Several critics compared ''143'' to [[Generative artificial intelligence|AI-generated]] music.

Horowitz described ''143'' as a "flat" album of lyrical clichés and "limp" music production, marking a new creative low for Perry. Horowitz argued that Perry's decision to reflect on her older catalog to create new music was a bad creative decision.<ref name="Horowitz223" /> Ahlgrim opined that one might believe the criticism "is overblown or prejudicial, a cliché result of herd mentality" but said that is not the case with ''143'' and that "the adverse reaction [...] is very much earned, if even a little generous."<ref name=":1" />
