🎵 “365” is a captivating collaboration between German music producer Zedd and American singer Katy Perry. Released on February 14, 2019, this song combines elements of pop, house, and electropop. Let me give you a brief overview of the music video and its reception:
In the official music video, directed by Warren Fu, Katy Perry portrays a slightly off-kilter and obsessive AI (artificial intelligence). Zedd plays her unassuming human subject. The two initially get along well, but things take a turn when Perry’s AI starts developing intense feelings. She becomes a little creepy, crushing Zedd in a too-forceful hug, and lab workers have to intervene to get her under control.
The track itself has received positive feedback. Brittany Spanos from Rolling Stone described it as a “breezy, hypnotic love song,” while Winston Cook-Wilson of Spin praised it for not sounding like every other Zedd song. Michael Love of Paper called it “a pretty solid pop tune” that keeps listeners engaged until the end. The sugary sweet lyrics make it perfectly tailored for a Valentine’s Day release.
Chart-wise, “365” reached number one in Bulgaria and Israel, and it made the top 10 in Lebanon, Lithuania, Mexico, and Serbia. Additionally, it hit the top 20 in countries like Argentina, Estonia, and Hungary. While it only spent a single week on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, its catchy melody and futuristic vibe left a lasting impression on fans worldwide.
