“Roar” is the first single off Katy Perry’s third LP, Prism. Its official release date is Monday, August 12, 2013, although the final version of the song leaked on August 10 and was played on the same day by a number of radio stations across the US. The first single off Perry’s forthcoming Prism, “Roar” has an anthemic pop sensibility more in line with Florence and the Machine than Britney or Rihanna.
Its lyrics have a fighter mentality, with Perry belting about coming back stronger than ever after some emotional stuff (like a divorce perhaps?).
Perry has been leaking teasers for the track all week long, starting with a video where she lit her famous blue wig on fire. On Friday, a teaser called “Satin Cape” followed, showing Perry in the jacket she dons in the single’s cover art (above) and featuring a mere 10 seconds of the track. The following is guitar chord and lyrics Roar from Katy Perry
