By the Numbers
Smile was produced by various collaborators including Stargate, Jason Evigan, Finneas, and others, with mixing split across Serban Ghenea (most tracks), Manny Marroquin (track 7), Zedd (track 1), and Phil Tan (track 15), mastered by Dave Kutch. Perry described the album as a celebration of joy and resilience, a personal reset after a period of intense difficulty. "Daisies" peaked at #40 on the Billboard Hot 100; the album debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200 with 50,000 first-week album-equivalent units. The title track accumulated over 4 billion cumulative streams across platforms as of September 2024.
Smile is the fifth studio album by Katy Perry, released in August 2020 on Capitol Records and produced by Max Martin, Finneas O'Connell, Jon Bellion, and others, released during the COVID-19 pandemic to a promotional environment that significantly limited the commercial infrastructure available for the campaign. Perry co-wrote most tracks; 'Daisies,' 'Never Really Over,' 'Smile,' and 'Not the End of the World' were the principal singles. 'Daisies' reached the top five on the Billboard Pop Airplay chart and the album debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 with 66,000 first-week units, the weakest chart debut of Perry's studio catalog. Smile received mixed critical reviews that noted the quality of individual tracks alongside the album's thematic inconsistency. The album is regarded as a commercial recovery from Witness rather than a return to peak performance, and its pandemic-release context made definitive commercial assessment more difficult than for previous releases.
