Production
In August 2023, Perry confirmed she was working on new material from a "place of love" during a interview with Good Morning America.[1] The following February, she made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and announced her exit from the American Idol judges' panel following the conclusion of the twenty-second season, wanting to "go out and feel that pulse to my own beat" and release new music after being "in the studio for a while".[2] Two months later, Perry told Access Hollywood "I just have yet to make a record from a place of feeling really happy and whole and full of love. Sometimes artists are like, 'Oh, that’s boring, you want to make music from kind of like a tougher place,' but actually it's very bright and joyful, like pure joy and fun and playful and celebratory and a party."[3] Rolling Stone reported the next June that Perry "reconnected" with various music producers who worked before, including Max Martin, Stargate and Dr. Luke.[4]
During a livestream via her social media on July 10, 2024, Perry described 143 as a dance album. She mentioned "I've been talking about [doing] two albums the past eight years and that's a dance album and an acoustic album. I haven't yet made the acoustic album. Well, we never stop writing. But I finally made the dance album, the album I always wanted to make. This record is super high energy, it's super summer, it's very high BPM. We just had a family dance party to one of the songs, and it's just full of so much joy, so much love, so much light."[5]
