Music critics were divided with "Swish Swish" some praised the track's empowering environment, while others criticized its lyrics. Multiple media outlets suspected that the song was a response to Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood", which was believed to be about Perry. A song about fighting against bullies, "Swish Swish" uses basketball metaphors to talk about overcoming hateful people and thriving. A tiger Don't lose no sleep Don't need opinions From a shellfish or a sheep Don't you come for me No, not today (woah) You're calculated I got your number 'Cause you're a joker And I'm a courtside killer queen And you will kiss the ring You best believe So keep calm, honey, I'ma stick around For more than a minute, get used to it Funny my name. "Swish Swish" is a house-inspired EDM and hip hop song that samples "Star 69" by Fatboy Slim which in turn samples "I Get Deep" by Roland Clark. The song was initially released as a promotional single on May 19, 2017, and later as the album's third single. It was written by Perry, Duke Dumont, Sarah Hudson, PJ "Promnite" Sledge, Minaj and Brittany Hazzard, while being produced by Dumont, with additional production by Sledge and Noah "Mailbox" Passovoy and vocal production by Passovoy. It remains to be seen whether Swift’s forthcoming new single can beat Perry’s new video the way she seems to be betting it can - but Perry has set a very low bar for Swift to hop over."Swish Swish" is a song by American singer Katy Perry featuring American rapper Nicki Minaj for Perry's fifth studio album, Witness (2017). To the extent that it has a point, it appears to be that Nicki Minaj is great, which is surely something on which we can all agree. The video and song both bounce back and forth between the idea that Perry is a fierce and empowered woman who doesn’t need anyone so fuck you, sheep, and the idea that she’s a hapless-but-plucky underdog who maybe doesn’t always succeed but who sure does try her best anyway. At first the Sheep crush the Tigers, but then Nicki Minaj shows up, performs her verse (easily the song’s highlight, even without the video), and inspires Perry to achieve true greatness and rise victorious against the Sheep. The video features a cluttered and incoherent but celebrity-studded storyline wherein Perry’s basketball team (the Tigers, as in “ I’ve got the eye of the”) faces off against the preening, vacuous Sheep (presumably Swift, as in “ Watch out for the Regina George in sheep's clothing”). Perry has suggested that “Swish Swish” is her way of clapping back at Swift, but as clapbacks go, it’s just a little bit … weak. Swift’s camp claims that Swift’s decision to put her music back on streaming had nothing to do with Perry, but it’s hard to avoid reading the subtext of that timing as a not-so-subtle dig against Perry: “My old material beats your new material without trying.” And tonight, when she releases her single, Swift is going to see if she can pull of the same trick with her new stuff. In June, on the same day that Perry released her new album Witness, Swift made her entire back catalog available on Spotify for the first time since 2014 - and it all out-performed Witness. Swift’s announcement was the kind of power move she’s been pulling increasingly frequently over the past year. On Monday, Perry announced that she’d be releasing the “Swish Swish” video at some point this week, before she hosts the VMAs on Sunday - and on Tuesday, Swift announced that she’d be releasing her own single at midnight on Thursday night. Taylor Swift and Katy Perry’s mutually beneficial feud, explained Katy Perry Swish Swish Lyrics from album: Witness (2017) They know what is what, But they don't know what is what.
