i don't think people will ever understand how much that simple gesture means to me. When Katy extends her hand to the other woman, and she doesn't even think and just goes for it, finally releasing her of her unhappy, abusive relationship and finding her true self... the emotion conveyed in this animation... their expressions, they tell so much and I feel so warm when she spreads her wings.

SMILE Smile (the album) is Katy telling a story to her daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, about heartbreak, self-love, recovery, and finding new love. The record contains twelve beautifully-crafted tracks and each song must be grouped into three to better understand the story it intends to convey. The album is not just another playlist but rather a perfectly- curated presentation of songs. The first three tracks: Never Really Over, Cry About It Later and Teary Eyes depicted her heartbreak and pain caused by loss or failure of a love. Love here may refer to her music during the Witness era, which was met with lots of criticisms and was not accepted well by her fans and the general public alike. The next three songs: Daisies, Resilient and Not The End Of The World painted her strength and realization of self-worth. These songs are her reminders that her value is not based on what others think of her or the things she has or has not accomplished. Smile, Champagne Problems, and Tucked talked about her healing and recovery as the song Smile says, “she finally got back that smile”. In Champagne Problems, she realized that her heartbreak and pain are actually not that big of a deal. Aren’t we all as soon as we have moved on over a certain pain? The last tracks: Harleys In Hawaii, Only Love, and What Makes A Woman described her newly-found love and happiness. An extremely deep realization has dawned upon her resulting in the decision to focus her attention on the things that matter most in life: her husband, her baby, and her music regardless of how her art will be accepted by the public. At the end of the song What Makes A Woman, the album’s outro, she says, “ There it is, Katheryn”, which means that she has concluded telling the story to her little Katheryn and has just laid out a detailed narration about her life. Katy Perry has just put out her best album to date.

I’m listening to this 3 years later going through a bad time and this makes me feel better

Whoever was animating this should go work on full animated shows Animation is getting fucked over atm and the fact Perry is supporting animators at all makes her earn my full respect Even if I don’t like her music (this one was actually pretty good) I can still admire her for the creativity and respect her for it Hope to see more animations in general

Why is no one talking about how beautiful the queen at the end was?? Her hair, face and white dress was so beautiful I loved it!!! also, 1:20 i want to marry that elf boy

VAMPIRE: *about to bite* witch: NO U

That plot twist kiss bruh!! ONE OF THE BOYS!!!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

When Katy Perry said “It’s bisexualin’ time!” and bisexualed all over the place I got chills bro.

2008: i kissed a girl 2020: she kissed a girl again

Why isn't anyone talking about the animation tho?? The art style is GORGEOUS

I remember being so touched reading a comment on this video when Katy released SMILE. The man shared about his late wife and the her journey fighting with COVID-19. At the end, she didn’t make it, Daisies was the last song they listened together before she got into ICU. He said his wife would have loved the record if she had listened to it. This story will forever stay in my mind. God bless him ❤

Again, how did I forget about this masterpiece?

2008 Katy Perry: I kissed a girl 2020 Katy Perrry: I still doing that

The Chilling Adventures of Katy Perry💞❤️💞💞💞💞

The end part is beautiful ❤ The angel princess and a witch united with a kiss... Story that tickle senses... Beautiful song..❤

I NEED A SERIES WITH THIS ANIMATION AND STORY LINE NOW

The One that Got Away: Its time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse Cry about it later: I think I'm ready to be someone's new muse

This woman literally did not take a rest this year, she kept serving us while being pregnant n in pandemic ♥

This song just started playing in my head. I don't even recall listening to it recently. Really good tune, and yeah, the animation is awesome too.

Lyrics I'll cry about it later I'll cry about it later Tonight I'm havin' fun Tonight I'm havin' fun I'll cry about it later I'll cry about it later Tonight I'm gettin' some Tonight I'm gettin' somethin' brand new I know tomorrow I'll be love hungover But I'm ready for a shameless summer Champagne on ice only makes you stronger Pourin' it, pourin' it, pourin' it non-stop, ah Drinkin' it, drinkin' it, drinkin' it all up, ah Body to body, I almost forgot You're not him, you're not her I'll cry about it later I'll cry about it later Tonight I'm havin' fun Tonight I'm havin' fun I'll cry about it later I'll cry about it later Tonight I'm gettin' some Tonight I'm gettin' somethin' brand new I think I'm ready to be someone's new muse I think I'm ready for a brand new tattoo I'm gonna fake it 'til it makes me feel good Pourin' it, pourin' it, pourin' it non-stop, ah (one more) Drinkin' it, drinkin' it, drinkin' it all up, ah Body to body, I almost forgot You're not him, you're not her I'll cry about it later I'll cry about it later Tonight I'm havin' fun Tonight I'm havin' fun I'll cry about it later I'll cry about it later Tonight I'm gettin' some Tonight I'm gettin' some I'll cry about it later I'll cry about it later Tonight I'm havin' fun Tonight I'm havin' fun I'll cry about it later I'll cry about it later Tonight I'm gettin' some Tonight I'm gettin' somethin' brand new Ooh I know tomorrow I'll be love hungover Ooh And it's half past three And I got angel wings But a devil's grin And only one can win No, no, no, no I'll cry about it later I'll cry about it later Tonight I'm havin' fun Tonight I'm havin' fun I'll cry about it later I'll cry about it later Tonight I'm gettin' some Tonight I'm gettin' somethin' brand new

2010-The one that got away: "I'm no longer your muse" 2020-Cry about it later: "I think I'm ready to be someone's new muse"

2010 Katy: I kissed a girl 2020 Katy: I am still doing this.

Anyone else realizing that this animation definitely touches on Katy and Rihanna's relationship... oop!

Katy Perry is literally the millennial pop Queen, how did she move from one of the biggest pop stars to an American Idol judge?

omg nobody's talking about how katy pulled the uno reverse card on that vampire lmao

2010: "Someone said you had your tattoo removed... I'm no longer your muse" 2020: "I think I'm ready to be someone's new muse. I think I'm ready for a brand new tattoo"

The real icon of bisexuality 💜

I didn't know this song, I accidently found the animator's Instagram account and wanted to watch the full thing. It's so amazing, I don't even think I know enough English words to describe how great I think it is. And it fits the song so well like- I'm at loss for words, it's just too good

I'm not a huge katy perry fan, but I like how in the end the witch girl finds the angel girl, and she sees that she's someone who understands her pain. she goes from person to person searching for someone to make her forget the pain but instead she finds someone she can navigate that pain with and heal with and I think that's beautiful.

Cry about it later is one of the best songs in smile

I have rewatched this video and listened to this song so much, idk why i love it so much but I do

I love everything about this. But especially how that man is so offended when his wife takes the witch’s hand after he waved her away! Lol. It’s like he wasn’t expecting her to take her hand!

Me: "I'll cry about it later" *procrastinates*

Ok I have DEFINITELY been missing out on something. Guess I have to listen to Katy Perry's entire discography now.

This song, and video, are an underrated classic.

“You’re a wizard, Katy”

I can't get over the part where she just leaves like "byee" and the prince is just like "wait!" Poor prince

It says something about lots of the viewers when the most replayed part is 0:17 lol

putting yourself first and doing what makes YOU happy ❤

Love the Sailor Moon Transformation and the ending was perfect.

Am I the only one that keeps rewatching this ? The animation is just so satisfyingly beautiful!!

2:49 slay queen 💅🏾💅🏾👸

the beat and the song is just so good its perfect! And what surprises me is that even without shadows or rendering its still so good

Ultimate power move: BITE the Vampire first.

*The One That Got Away:* Someone said you had your tattoo removed Saw you downtown, singing the blues It's time to face the music I'm no longer your muse *I'll Cry About It Later:* I think I'm ready to be someone's new muse I think I'm ready to have a brand new tattoo i just can't-- (edit: I just corrected the spelling of downtown lol)

if this was released in 2013, it would’ve been a huge hit. we failed her so hard

Let's get this mv to 100M views!!!

Katy: "I'll cry about it later." Procrastinators: "...Welcome to the club."

The rhythm of this song is so catchy, I can't stop listening to it!! ❤️

I've lost count of how many times I've watched this since it came out. The song itself is nice, the lyrics flow and fit well together, the rhythm keeps the listener engaged, and personally, just like other tracks from Smile, I find it empowering. As for the storyline, it really shows how much someone can achieve if they choose to start a journey and keep at it, no matter the obstacles. As some say, life is a climb, but the view is always great, just like this song and video. Also, the fact that it captures magic, mystery, and adventure, all in the spirit of Halloween on one side, and life itself on the other, makes it all the more enjoyable to watch. Witch Katy was, lost, but she made a choice. And so started her whimsical adventure into the unknown, all because she chose to face her truth, and to quote the song's title, Cry about it later (if she really needs to, that is).

The song, the video, the story, the lyric, the instrumental, the bisexual. This song is everythig good of this year Edit: thanks for the 1k likes

I love this, Katy is now stronger, she is no longer alone, a loving husband and a wonderful child 🥰

how I haven't seen it before - I love the song and the animation so cool, thank you Katy ♥

I adore this song and all it means. And I can’t tell y’all how many times I’ve told myself “I’ll cry about it later” meaning you gotta be an ice cold granite queen

This has to be her NEW SINGLE. No doubt.

2008: I Kissed a Girl and I liked it 2020: Oops! I did it again.

I really like and appreciate how much Katy Perry supports LGBTQ+! Me being bisexual means a lot to me so I really appreciate it and I give my thanks to Katie!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

The animation is beautiful

The witch saved the princess, and they lived happily ever after.

I feel like this is a prequel to her old song, "I kissed a girl"

I am in love with this song and the animation ✨♥️🌬️🏳️‍🌈

چقدر این بشر با آهنگاش به زندگی من امید داده❤

she said: SAILOR MOON AND CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA in CINDERELLA’s Point of view! 💗

The animation was SO clean and beautiful, the characters are so pretty and well drawn. I love it, especially the end.

Oh my gosh I love Katy Perry I love her songs so much!! I used to listening to her songs all the time, I love about crying about it later and I love it!! 🥰❤😊😊💗

OCTUBRE IS COMING🎉🎉, OJALA SEA VIRAL ESTA CANCIÓN

This animation is a masterpiece. If you love animated art and stuff like this, your eyes sparkled with this music video! And let's talk about the little details that make this even more amazing (the female protagonism, the kiss at the end, & the lyrics itself). Well done miss Katheryn! Oh, and welcome Daisy!

The animation style is art, and the song a masterpiece.

Helping me through my boyfriends anger issues ❤❤❤❤

Halloween is approaching, so it's your duty to watch this music video!!!

Ironically this somg brought me to tears. It remind me so much of my Aunt who was a big Katy Perry fan, loved witches and familiars (cats in particular) and just being free and enjoying her life. Sadly she passed away in 2019. She would have absolutely gone mad with this song. Love it!

Not only is the animation incredible, and the LGBTQ+ characters are actually a good representation rather than being stereotypes, but the entire song gives me early 2010s/mid-late 2000s Katy vibes. I’ve been listening to her music for a really long time, and this song just makes me think of those songs, which gives me nostalgia. I’d rate this 100/10

This should be a whole film

Bro im crying bc i had the same apple ad 19 times

SELENATORS ARE HERE TO SUPPORT THIS AMAZING WOMAN WHO DELIVERED HER TWO BABIES BACK TO BACK WE STAN LETS GIVE THE SUPPORT SHE DESERVES

I feel like I'm watching an animated Netflix series called The Magical Adventures of Katy the Teenage Witch

Ultimate faveeeee

A LEAD SINGLE MATERIAL

I am so happy to see singers like Billie Eillish and Katy Perry supporting artists and the animation industry. Kudos!

Animator: do you want it to be straight or gay? Katy: *y e s*

Te amo Katy, representando con orgullo a la comunidad 🥰🏳️‍🌈♥️

I cannot describe how much I love the animating for this music video! Bravo for the animator(s)!

SMILE isn’t just a album, it’s a cultural reset, it’s the oxygen you breathe, it’s a lifestyle, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world, it’s art, the first gift you open on christmas, a hug from a loved one, everything you’ve ever wanted. STREAM SMILE.

*The One That Got Away:* someone said you had your tattoo removed, its time to face the music im no longer your muse. *Cry About It Later:* i think am ready to be someone's new muse i think im ready for a brand new tattoo (give me it). _absolutely a callback to TOTGA_ ❤️❤️

I wish this song existed 20 years ago. But I'm also grateful it exists now!

I watched this one time. Then another time. Then another. Hm.. 1 more time? Never mind I'm watching this everyday now ;)

I want a whole TV Show with this characters 😮 looks so creative!

For everyone who have misinterpreted the visual video... She isn't breaking the hearts of everyone : - the first one, the Prince, it means that at first she wanted to overcome sadness by replacing someone, but she realized that it is wrong The entire video is normal, to overcome sadness we usually go and have fun somewhere and with someone, don't we? Cause having a grudge is useless, so we have fun by dancing, drinking eating or even trying new things, something that you always wanted to do before re-facing the problem. How did you assume that she was breaking hearts?

Eu tiro o chapéu pra essa animação perfeita, pqp, a Katy Perry nunca decepciona 👑

Si esta canción hubiera tenido un vídeo musical en dónde Katy hubiera salido así con la misma temática y una buena promoción, hubiese tenido más éxito y ya más de 100M aquí en YT

KATY YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS A NETFLIX SHOW NOW LMAO

This song is so addictive.

Sailor Moon transformation vibes 0:17-0:23

49.8 million views and 953k likes!! Keep watching all & next goal is 50 million views and 1 million likes!

Oh my gooooddd!!! The animation, 100% The story 100% The vocals 1000% The representation 1000%

STILL WAITING FOR THIS TO BE A KICK ASS NETFLIX SHOW

The call backs here are awesome. Like the lyrics talking about being someone's muse and a new tattoo from "the one that got away" and the ending throwing it all the way back to "Kissed a Girl". The art direction is gorgeous too. Like a 2D version of the Hotel Transylvania movies with some anime and Disney thrown in for good measure. Just fucking sick.

the animation was nice and it conveyed a whole lot

This sailor moon meets Sabrina look is EVERYTHING.

The best visuals of the three(cry about it later, never really over,Harley’s in Hawaii)
