Watch Katy Perry Strut in Sexy Two-Piece for 'Woman's World' Music Video Featuring Trisha Paytas

"It's a woman's world, and you're lucky to be livin' in it," sings Perry

It's officially Katy Perry's world, and we're just living it!

On Thursday, July 11, the 13-time Grammy-nominated artist dropped the music video for her single "Woman's World" off her forthcoming album, 143.

The pop power anthem's video begins with a close-up of a woman spray painting "WO" on a large "Men Working" sign so it reads "Women Working."

Perry is heard singing the track's intro: "It's a woman's world, and you're lucky to be livin' in it" before sitting in the middle of a beam among women dressed in construction worker outfits. The sexy sight was a colorful recreation of the iconic 1932 photograph, "Lunch Atop a Skyscraper."

The performer put her own spin on the attire by wearing a jean romper and red bandana — a take on the World War II Rosie the Riveter poster inspired by Naomi Parker Fraley.

After taking a sip out of a bottle labeled "Whiskey for Women," the singer and her female co-workers are seen playfully using men's urinals.

As the song goes into its chorus, Perry, holding a bedazzled hammer, rips her uniform apart, revealing a sparking American flag cutout body suit. Once the group completes a choreographed dance sequence, Perry is squished flat by the top of a liberty bell.

She then brings herself back to life by sucking her thumb to re-inflate herself and starts doing a power walk in two-piece white swimsuit and black robot legs in the middle of a busy street.

Perry then stumbles onto a seemingly abandoned area and begins to give herself more energy by inserting a gas pump into her butt cheek.

Fans then see Trisha Paytas come on screen, pulling a red monster truck with a rope, and the two ride away together.

Before the video ends, Perry arrives in a new suburban neighborhood and confidently walks through a glass door to fly away in a black helicopter, perhaps a nod to the glass ceiling female businesswomen shatter.

The video represents the bold impact Perry seeks to make with her upcoming album out on Friday, Sept. 20.

"I set out to create a bold, exuberant, celebratory dance-pop album with the symbolic 143 numerical expression of love as a throughline message," she said in a statement shared with PEOPLE.

Back in the '90s before lengthy text messaging, "143" was shorthand for "I love you."
