Katy Perry displays killer bikini body in animal print two-piece as she attempts to bounce back with new song after disastrous Woman's World flop
Katy Perry shared a series of sultry bikini pics to promote her new single Lifetimes, in an effort to shift the spotlight from her comeback track Woman's World, which flopped.
The 39-year-old pop star — who recently avoided a wardrobe malfunction on the Amalfi coast — took to her Instagram on Wednesday to post the scintillating snaps.
In a daring animal-print bikini, the Firework hitmaker posed against a stunning beach backdrop, emphasizing her sculpted physique.
She captioned the jaw-dropping photos, 'LIFETIMES IS OUT TOMORROW AT 3PM PT AHHH.'
The social media share comes after DailyMail.com revealed Katy is 'pointing the fingers at everyone but herself' after Woman's World failed to light up the charts.

Insiders report that Katy is urgently working to devise a new strategy to salvage her musical comeback.
The Teenage Dream singer has also faced backlash over the provocative nature of her latest video and her choice to collaborate with music producer Dr. Luke, who is still under scrutiny following a highly publicized legal battle with Kesha.
With her single rapidly falling down the US iTunes charts after its July 11 release, Katy is said to be in a state of panic, urging her team to return to the drawing board to prevent her album from suffering a similar decline.
'Katy is freaking out right now because she is very aware of the feedback that Woman's World is getting,' an insider exclusively told DailyMail.com.
'She is pointing the fingers at everyone but herself, but it is her own fault.'
According to sources, Katy's most significant gamble has been reuniting with Dr. Luke, the music producer behind her early hits like I Kissed a Girl and California Gurls.
Dr. Luke, whose real name is Łukasz Gottwald, faced serious allegations of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse from Kesha, including claims of rape, which Dr. Luke has publicly denied.
In 2020, a New York state judge ruled that Kesha defamed Dr. Luke with her accusations, a decision upheld by an appeals court in 2021.

Despite reaching a settlement with Kesha in 2023, Dr. Luke remains a controversial figure among music fans.
While some Perry supporters argue that her collaboration with Dr. Luke was due to contractual obligations, Perry has clarified that she no longer has any formal ties to him.
During her 2018 deposition in Kesha's lawsuit, she confirmed that her contract with Dr. Luke's Kemosabe Records was limited to a three-album deal, and she acknowledged the potential backlash from working with him amid the ongoing controversy.
'Working with him at this moment would mean - would not be - would not be received well because of this lawsuit,' she stated.
When asked if she thought working with Dr. Luke would have a potential impact on the success of a future release, the Dark Horse singer responded: '[People would] protest against it, a smear campaign, just 20 different narratives than the one that I am.'
After DailyMail.com previously revealed that Perry had been warned not collaborate with Dr. Luke for the new album, the source confirmed that the Roar singer had ignored pleas.
'She was insane to think that Dr. Luke was a good idea. She didn’t listen to anyone', the insider stated. 'Instead of diving deep and creating art she put something out that sounded like it could have been on an album of hers from 2010.'
Meanwhile, Katy's comeback comes amid claims she has jumped on the Ozempic bandwagon.
The song about female empowerment failed to crack the Top 10 and landed at number 63 in its first complete tracking week (pictured in a still from the Woman's World music video)

After unveiling the cover art for Woman's World and sharing a video from the shoot, fans were quick to speculate she had used a weight loss wonder drug – a favourite of celebrities including Sharon Osbourne, Scott Disick, and Oprah Winfrey – to achieve her new figure.
However, an insider told DailyMail.com. she has been working out more and insisted her toned physique is down to 'working hard'.
They said: 'Her weight loss has nothing to do with any help from Ozempic or weight loss drugs.'
They added: 'She just worked hard and is eating better than ever.'
