Katy’s return to music was set for August 12, but the new track has leaked three days early! Listen below and tell us what YOU think!
She’s back — even a little earlier than we expected! On August 9, Katy Perry’s first single in a year leaked onto the internet, giving us and all of her loyal followers something to truly “Roar” about (sorry, we had to).
Katy Perry’s New Single Leaks — Hear Her ‘Roar’
“Roar” was set to drop on August 12, but in this day and age, when does music actually come out when it’s supposed to? Katy’s new single leaked three days early — and we are not complaining at all!
The song is classic Katy (in a good way), an all-out pop song that sweeps you up in the emotions and takes you for an uplifting ride. It’s a clear descendent of “Teenage Dream” and “Firework.”
But there’s also a sense in “Roar” that things have changed for Katy since she released her last album, Teenage Dream, in 2010. She’s since been married and divorced, and you can feel her persevering through that difficult breakup with the help of her music.
“I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar,” Katy sings in the chorus. It’s an inspiring message, and a relatable one for anyone who’s felt knocked down by a bad split.
This one is definitely going to have everyone singing along for a very long time. Read the full lyrics — and listen to the song of course — below and tell us what you think!
Katy Perry – ‘Roar’ Full Lyrics
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agree politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me passed the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down but I got up,
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down but i got up
Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, i see it now
I got the eye of the tiger the fire
Dancing through the fire, ’cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
And you're gonna hear me roar
Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee i earned the stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down but I got up,
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down but I got up
Get ready ’cause i've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger the fire
Dancing through the fire, 'cause i am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause i am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
And you're gonna hear me roar
And you're gonna hear me roar
Roar roar roar roar roar
I got the eye of the tiger the fire
Dancing through the fire, 'cause i am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause i am a champion
And you're gonna hear me roar
And you're gonna hear me roar
And you're gonna hear me roar
