She’s gonna hear them roar.

The song and its accompanying music video were slammed as a regressive attempt to revive Perry’s signature campy brand of girl power for the 2020s – with The Post calling the 39-year-old pop star the year’s biggest flop.

“Woman’s World” and “Lifetimes” were both released ahead of Perry’s forthcoming seventh album, 143, which was produced in part by accused abuser Dr. Luke.

Perry’s decision to work with the controversial music maker immediately drew even more backlash, with many listeners accusing the star
