On Katy Perry & Doechii’s ‘I’m His, He’s Mine,’ There’s Something in the (Crystal) Waters
Before Katy Perry‘s 143 album arrives on Friday, she’s released three singles — and she might have saved the best for last.
On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about Perry’s “I’m His, He’s Mine,” featuring Top Dawg singer/rapper Doechii on a fiery duet that made its live debut on Wednesday’s MTV Video Music Awards. The song includes a prominent sample of Crystal Waters‘ 1991 Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit “Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless),” which roots the song in a nostalgic feel while still feeling wholly modern.
