"Bon Appétit"
Song

"Bon Appétit" is a song by American singer Katy Perry featuring American hip hop group Migos. The track is a dance-pop song with sexual double entendres involving food. It was released on April 28, 2017, as the second single from her upcoming fifth studio album.

Composition

"Bon Appétit" is a disco-infused dance-pop and trap-pop song[1][2] with a duration of 3 minutes and 47 seconds.[3] At the 59th Annual Grammy Awards, Perry described it as "pretty sexual" song that was part of "some of that good 'ol Katy Perry, fluffy stuff that you love so much".[4] According to Hugh McIntyre from Forbes, the track's rhythm features "breezy, summery, 90's-invoking vibes" and a beat that gradually builds, eventually becoming "undeniable".[5] MTV writer Sasha Geffen calls the track, "a smorgasbord" of double entrendres with food.[1] In the song, Perry sings "I'm all that you want, boy/All that you can have, boy/Got me spread like a buffet/Bon appétit, baby".[6]

Release and promotion

On April 24, Perry sent out a recipe for the "World's Best Cherry Pie", teasing the song's release. Fans sent photos of their completed pies to Perry on Twitter where she said they "may get a surprise" and rated their pies.[7][8] Perry subsequently announced the track's release two days later. Capitol Records released it for download on April 28, 2017, as the second single from her upcoming fifth studio album.[3][9] To promote the song on the day of its release, Perry went to Times Square in a food truck to hand out cherry pies to fans.[2] Three days later, she and Migos performed it at the 2017 Met Gala after Perry also sang her songs "Chained to the Rhythm", "Dark Horse", and "Firework". According to Vogue, "Bon Appétit" was the highlight of the show, writing the performance was where "things really got going", concluding "that's how you wrap up a Met Gala."[10]

Critical reception

Entertainment Weekly's Nolan Feeney gave "Bon Appétit" a B+ rating writing, "she is back to garish, stupid-fun party jams that don't even try to be subtle about cramming in as many sex metaphors as possible in three-and-a-half minutes. In other words, the kind of songs she's best at."[11] Forbes writer Hugh McIntyre felt the song was "great pop music" with potential for success.[5] Jon Carmanica of The New York Times states, "Ms. Perry is in her least convincing mode—dance-floor diva—but the production is direct and effective."[12] NME writer Jamie Milton calls "Bon Appétit" a "recipe for greatness", and "supremely confident, addictive, steamed-up sound of summer 2017". Milton praised Migos' presence on the song saying they "could grace any track and make it even better".[13] Chris Willman of Variety says "Bon Appétit is, "a gleefully ridiculous exercise in chewing the comedic scenery by presenting female sexuality as a four-course-plus meal", noting Perry is moving "further into a pure EDM-pop realm here".[14] Idolator's Mike Wass described the song as "catchy" and a "tasty treat", though felt its chorus had too many double entrendes.[15]

In a negative review, USA Today contributor Jayme Deerwester criticized the track's production as "unsubstantial and ultimately unsatisfying".[16] Spin writer Anna Gaca was equally critical of the song. Gaca called the song "Katy Perry's drooling one-trick pony of a new single, also featuring Migos. It's about food and none-too-coded references to Katy Perry's vagina, and it will make you a little uncomfortable."[17] Isha Aran of Fusion was critical of the lyrics and production, while considering the song an improvement to its predecessor commenting "I can't say the song is great (Katy Perry songs always feel incomplete to me, like they're giving 70%), but it's something of a relief—much less awkward than 'conscious' Katy."[18]

Commercial performance

In Australia, the track debuted at number 35 on the ARIA Charts with sales of 4,358 copies.[19] In the United Kingdom, it entered at number 40 on the UK Singles Chart.[20] In the United States, it reached number 76 on the Billboard Hot 100.[21]
