About Small Talk

"Small Talk" is a song by American singer Katy Perry. It was released as a standalone single by Capitol Records on August 9, 2019. It was announced in a social media post on August 6, 2019. Perry co-wrote the song with Jacob Kasher and its producers Charlie Puth and Johan Carlsson of Carolina Liar. "Small Talk" was included as a bonus track on the Japanese and fan editions of Perry's sixth studio album, Smile. Small Talk was a commercial failure. However, the song was a moderate hit in Australia.

Charlie Puth talked about the song in an Instagram post in July 2019. On August 6, Perry posted several pictures to her social media accounts of lines from the song, with the first reading "Isn't it weird / That you've seen me naked / We had conversations about forever / Now it's about the weather okay". The song's music video was released on August 30, 2019. On November 29, 2019, a Black Friday Record Store Day limited edition 12" orange vinyl was released, pairing the song with Perry's previous single "Never Really Over".
