"I'm His, He's Mine" is a song by American singer Katy Perry featuring American rapper Doechii. It was released through Capitol Records alongside an accompanying music video on September 13, 2024, as the third single from her seventh studio album, 143 (2024).

The trap-pop song samples American singer Crystal Waters' dance-pop song "Gypsy Woman" (1991), which received mixed reviews from music critics and divided opinions over the use of the sampled song. Criticism aimed at the simplistic lyrics, but was generally considered an improvement over Perry's two previous singles "Lifetimes" and "Woman's World".

Release and promotion

On July 10, 2024, shortly after the release of previous single "Woman's World", Perry teased "I'm His, He's Mine" on a social media livestream along with other songs off of 143.[1] Perry later announced the release date of the song on social media on September 10, 2024.[2]

Perry and Doechii performed the song for the first time at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards as part of Perry's medley performance for the Video Vanguard Award on September 11, 2024 .[3] Perry later performed the song solo at Rock in Rio on September 20, 2024.[citation needed]

Composition

Perry co-wrote "I'm His, He's Mine" with featured artist Doechii, as well as LunchMoney Lewis, Ferras, Ryan Ogren, Theron Thomas, and its producers Dr. Luke and Rocco Valdes. The song contains samples from "Gypsy Woman", written by Neal Conway and Crystal Waters.[3]

Critical reception

Chris DeVille of Stereogum described the song as "perfectly competent" but also being "tryhard energy" and "poisoned" and pointed the featured artist, Doechii, "can't save it."[4] Writing for Slant Magazine, Tom Williams described the song as "plodding", however praised Doechii for delivering a "genuinely charismatic and dynamic performance".[5] Cynthia Pankhurst from Exclaim! Magazine reviewed the lyricism having "much substance as a baby's speech" and critiqued the use of the "Gypsy Woman" sample by saying "Crystal Waters doesn't deserve this", but described the Doechii feature as a "redeemable factor" and her bars as "clever".[6]

In more positive reviews, Alexa Camp of Slant Magazine described the song a "low-key slow burner" and "more on trend" than previous singles "Lifetimes" and "Woman's World".[7] Avery Heeringa of Melodic Magazine highlighted the song as one of the "finer moments" on 143, despite relying on "overly-repetitive 'la da dee’s' for earworm attractiveness".[8]

Chart performance

"I'm His, He's Mine" reached number 24 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100. The song reached number 46 on the UK Singles Downloads Chart.[9] The song also reached number 8 on the New Zealand Hot Singles chart.

Music video

The music video was directed by Torso and released shortly after the song on September 13.[10] The video begins with Perry skydiving with her lover, before transitioning to the streets of Barcelona, where she dances on the hood of a moving chrome Corvette. Doechii is seen hanging from a flying drone, before landing on the shoulders of her lover.
