LYRICS:
Are we crazy
Living our lives through a lens
Trapped in our white picket fence
Like ornaments
So comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble
So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble
Aren’t you lonely
Up there in utopia
Where nothing will ever be enough
Happily numb
So comfortable, we’re living
in a bubble, bubble
So comfortable, we cannot
see the trouble, trouble
So put your rose-colored glasses on
And party on
Turn it up, it’s your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
Turn it up, keep it on repeat
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie
Yeah, we think we’re free
Drink, this one’s on me
We’re all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
Turn it up, it’s your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
Turn it up, keep it on repeat
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie
Yeah, we think we’re free
Drink, this one’s on me
We’re all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
Are we tone deaf
Keep sweeping it under the mat
Thought we could do better than that
I hope we can
So comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble
So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble
So put your rose-colored glasses on
And party on
Turn it up, it’s your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
Turn it up, keep it on repeat
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie
Yeah, we think we’re free
Drink, this one’s on me
We’re all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
Turn it up, it’s your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
Turn it up, keep it on repeat
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie
Yeah, we think we’re free
Drink, this one’s on me
We’re all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
It is my desire
Break down the walls to connect, inspire
Up in your high place, liars
Time is ticking for the empire
The truth they feed is feeble
As so many times before
They greed over the people
They stumbling and fumbling
And we about to riot
They woke up, they woke up
the lions
Turn it up, it’s your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
Turn it up, keep it on repeat
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie
Yeah, we think we’re free
Drink, this one’s on me
We’re all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm

0:03 - A theme park called "Oblivia".
0:22 - Comments on everyone's obsession with social media.
0:30 - Cotton candy in the form of atomic bombs.
0:42 - Katy pricks her finger, showing that even if everything looks perfect, it is not what it seems.
0:48 - Roller coaster separated by sex, reinforcing a heteronormative lifestyle.
1:07 - An amusement park shows houses falling, referring to the fall in the housing market.
1:20 - Everyone's obsession with social media gratification.
1:30 - The sign says 1984, a possible link to the 1984 novel, which describes a dystopian society where people are constantly monitored.
1:37 - Katy's male counterpart gets a much higher validation score for doing the same thing as her, a woman.
1:46 - The 'There's no place like home' ride throws people back on the fence - an obvious allusion to Trump's immigration ban / wall.
1:50 - The "Bombs Away" tour shows a flood of bombs falling.

some are still missing, but you guys already understood!
Now are you starting to understand the messages that Witness has? There are many more there, just open your eyes and ears to understand.
This album is WONDERFUL. The true is that Katy brought a political position in which she had not brought in her previous albums which ended up causing strangeness in people. In addition, there is the fact that she detonated Trump at the time of the American election and that made the Republican part of the U.S. hate her. I feel sorry for her, because she didn't deserve the hate she took in any way. This album is ahead of its time!
and since you are here, give the recognition that the queen deserves:

@@justinejaysinang1525 😄😄😄
Well I didnt
What is she tryna say ??
This song contains so much symbolism, seeing all the people in the comments being oblivious and myopic to it’s words literally proves Katy’s point.
Yup
YEAH people prefer following ,funny
its also really disturbing once you realize that life is literally like this. okay edit, in the movie scene, when everyone stands up and starts marching around, katy spins and joins them for a second and you can see that she is being sucked into their world of submission.
It's not subtle
This is why this is one of my favorite Katy Perry songs. For awhile I just listened to the song because it was a bop. Then I actually listened and realized what she was actually saying. The song is incredibly hypnotic which allows you to be distracted from the horrors of the world.
This is the scariest song I've ever heard, it gives me goosebumps and make me uneasy. So good yet so scary - the meaning behind this catchy rhythm.
the way it's sounds so upbeat and catchy but the meaning is somehow haunting. she was woke
to the RIOT! 2024 ;) $
It's actually a very well done song yeah
this and 911 by lady gaga are the scariests songs in the industry. both share a deep meaning behind a catchy beat
Try listening to supplies by Justin Timberlake
"Chained to the Rhythm" by Katy Perry is a pop song that carries a social and political message. The lyrics critique societal complacency and the tendency for people to become numb or indifferent to important issues. The "rhythm" in the song represents the routine and distractions that people often immerse themselves in, while being oblivious to the larger problems in the world.
The song encourages listeners to break free from the "chained" rhythm of life, awaken to reality, and engage with the world around them. It addresses themes such as political apathy, conformity, and the impact of media consumption on shaping perspectives. The chorus emphasizes the idea that people are dancing to a certain rhythm without fully understanding or questioning the implications of their actions.
Overall, "Chained to the Rhythm" is a call for awareness, urging individuals to be more conscious of the world's issues and to actively participate in making positive changes rather than passively accepting the status quo.

@@oaktakesmanhattanI was about to comment this too 😂
solid interpretation
Well said.
@@samsmusichub many belong into all kind of religious cults yet serving the one and the same; BAAL, but ONLY CHRISTIANS - new creatures in CHRIST shall be in heaven.
There is choosing based on free will, GOD OR MAMMON?
Who are we? - old wicked sinners in BAAL or born again - new creatures in CHRIST?
Basically she's saying that, were all so comfortable that we do not even realize the scary realities of this world and it just goes on and on, it's pretty much just like saying the tune of the music is so fun we aren't aware of the deep lyrics this song contains.
Vonilla
I think that we're so comfortable that we don't care.
We graduate, get a job, poop some kids out and then we die. We've been comfortable doing this so nobody really tries to break it.
That's my take on it atleast
Vonilla rff
Vonilla If only someone else said that like *George Orwell, 80% of punk music, every single dystopian movie*
What about you?
Vonilla / We are. It’s a good song, but it’s also alittle fake deep. I mean, should we really be listening to the most bland pop artist to exist? (No hate to Katy, she’s really talented I just think the song kind of contradicts her work)
This is the saddest song with the happiest beat
Edit: okay everyone got a sadder song, but this still wins cause of the irony..she's singing about us willfully ignoring reality and dancing to the music. And her song makes us do the exact same thing.
This song, Pumped up kids & Umbrella all have dark lyrics over a light happy beat

I don’t think people are grasping what she is saying here, she was telling us and we ignored it
😮we did
What does she meant😢? to say
@@feliciendusengemungu6683yes ask me
“So comfortable we’re living in a bubble, bubble. So comfortable we cannot see the trouble, trouble”
“Time is ticking for the empire”
“We’re all chained to the rhythm”
“Stumbling around like a wasted zombie”
“You think we’re free?”
She was warning us the whole time.
Yep we are all screwed
It already happened - specially in her country..... :(
Stumbling*
They tell their plans in advance, if people don't do anything, they take it as they don't mind. Hollywood celebrities are messengers and also fully controlled too.
Wat een coole filmpjes
This song actually has been such a warning right under our nose for years and we didn’t notice
And we didn't realise about bon appetit, and this is how we do
5head , it has a different a meaning .. ( enjoy life and dont think too far ) unless you're really smart.
the question is? she is on our side?
aeniur what happened with this is how we do???
This Song is about Determinism and the non existence of the free Will
April 2024 anyone?
I didn't understand back then bc I was 14 but now as a 21 year old, I 100% get it and sadly this is still the world we live in. Most of us are waking up now tho
Tbh it’s kinda impressive for a 21 year old to get the deep meaning of this song. Cannot imagine that I would have when I was 21 lol. I’m 33 now .
@@Itthew yeah and it's unfortunate that a 21 year old gets it. I'm too young to get it but I got it when I turned 17. When I was 17 covid happened and everything went to shit, I'm still mentally stuck at 17 and idk how to fix it. It's sad we live in a world like this. I'm tired of it already and I haven't experienced life yet, can't afford to. It sucks. This world sucks, being a woman sucks. Everything sucks
Everybody thought this song was a flop at first but personally I think it's great because it addresses a lot of social issues that we're not so aware of today. It gradually becomes catchier as you listen to it on repeat to
Ca Ka same here. Have grown to love the song and it's message!
Ca Ka I see what u did there at the end...u naughty naughterson.
No it's not social issues we aren't aware of. These are all the mainstream issues people think are important.
Nikki Sheerin Are you insinuating that environmental pollution, sexism, and immigration issues aren't social issues? They're very much issues that affect us all.
exactly, first it's a good message and second at first I also thought, oh, boring song and now I listen it on repeat 24/7😂
I cannot believe it took you guys 3 YEARS to figure out the message of this song. Truly was ahead of her time. She was awake before us, and now she can’t even crack the top 10 and she’s actually scared now to promote her music and speak up on political issues because of how twisted her words got and how traumatized she was from the hate over a haircut and songs with REAL MEANING. KATY deserves better. My ride or die.
edit: oh wow this blew up was not expecting that
😭 i hope katy will get more viewers and the hate she received these past three years will turn into love.
@@MM-dk1qf 😉
@llJB Amonll 😏😏😏
I love Katy Perry, I knew this was true at the time
I don‘t understand how all this happend, but it males me so sad 🙁
She deserves better
I find myself coming back to this music video now and again over the years. It only becomes more significant as time passes and we get further into the digital age
this song has such an important message for our days so it sucks to see that this song isnt talked about much anymore :(
Yes and most people who watch the video don't even understand what's going on if you read most of the comments here.
WHAAAAT BUT BIDEN IS PRESIDENT!!!!!
When it came out, it was sadly unsuccessful due to the anti-sjw mindset. Glad I was just a kid at that time who didn’t follow that trend.
@@Schnipp08 the message is superclear and it is truly frightening how few who understand where were heading, and when most people will do it will be too late.
People end up with the system that they deserve.
0:22 people continuously making selfies: referring to today's social media obsession
0:29 the cotton candy are shaped like atomic bomb clouds
0:40 the rose is barbed wire
00:53 men and woman couples, Lgtbi are not incluided
1:20 more reference to social media obsession
1:30 the sign indicates the year ''1984'', could very much be a reference to ''1984'' by George Orwell, a book about a dystopian society
1:35 the man next to Katy gets more validation, despite doing the exact same thing as her
1:48 an attraction named ''No Place Like Home'' throws people over a fence, obviously referring to Trump's immigration policies
1:50 "BOMBS AWAY" when Katy sings "thought we could do better than that"
2:00 people in line for a wheel. The white man 2:05 continues to run successfully without running out, but the black man (2:35) and Asian woman (2:38) fall down on their way
2:23 oil/water crisis
2:45 the people around Katy watch a big event and continue to be in a trance-like state, unable to notice what is happening around them. Katy however (3:02) realizes that something is wrong. Could be a reference to the election.
And about the video of the hamster shows us the monotony that drives our society, which we must wake up.
The hands are the state that handles and imposes, the hamster is us, we just keep there letting ourselves rule without doing anything. WE HAVE TO WAKE UP RIGHT NOW. In some way the name of the video should be "Chained to the system"
this helped me so much to understand this song ty
divyatejaswini vengada 2:40 sexism
divyatejaswini vengada Thank you so much
great analysis! :)
Great analysis. I think we can also add the couples getting into the quaint little houses and the ride seeming like it "breaks" at one point, perhaps referring to how the perfect little idea of the household and marriage fails.

Fr😢😢🎉🎉
Still don’t get the meaning
I remember finding it out during 2020 when I was feeling down. And I found this because I really missed 2016 and 2017. Glad I did find out what the message was.
I remember watching this in 2017 with my mom. Came back for a nostalgia flashback to the days without all this woke shit. Ended up realizing what this song means. Very important meaning.
@@igametomuchist don’t use the word woke. Woke used to mean to be aware of oppression in black community. This song criticizes people like you and this was during when trump was president and the anti SJW movement.

For sure Katy
I remember working in my 9/5 job in 2017. This song would play constantly on the radio at my work, I didn’t pay much attention to it, I didn’t even know this song was from Katy Perry
Crazy how Bob Marleys grandson is featured on such a hit song just shows you how talented the Marley family is.
Quite a few of them produced and starred in the new biopic of him
This song is the definition of "When you're happy you enjoy the music, when you're sad, you understand the lyrics"
Katy Perry’s thought process to display the message is absolutely GENIUS. Now 2021 this is more accurate than ever!
I wish ppl liked this song when it came out, it was literally one of my favorites.
Btw thx for all the likes 🤍
Yes omg I had to come back
Katy's genius is in self-promotion and making money.

Kesha Nation thanks for all the details you noticed, I'm sure a lot of people didn't because "so comfortable living in a bubble' we cannot see the trouble"
i feel 1984 is a reference to the novel 1984 by george orwell about government surveillance. the government surveils us through our phnes.

Very very deep. Everyone in this world seems to be chained to the rhythm which symbolizes social media or trending thoughts. Most of us have fell into the life of "parrot", we speak what others are speaking, we do what others are doing, we play what others are playing, we wear what others are wearing, even those things are NOT comfortable or suitable for us. We follow everyone else's steps, we lose our own style, we lose our own comfortable way of living, we lose our own creative thinking. What are the things left? Just brains without minds, thoughts without ideas and bodies without souls. We are all manipulated, we are all modified, we are all chained to the rhythm.
we are controlled by what we love.
sex - porn, drama - netflix, intellect - internet, food - MacDonald's, validation - Facebook.
our whole nature is reprogrammed.
slaves in our own mind.
yeah it's sad...and it makes us think from time to time what the future or future generation would be look like
I guess that's why the song doesn't connect with me because I couldn't give half a fuck about what the world likes lol I despise almost all of the overrated things in life. Such as Katy Perry and this awful song.
antm survivorpokemon1 you're my kind of people 🙌🏽
Gan Shijie But I love this song. :@:
Witness ya era momento de que te valorara 😿🤍
Yo he estado presente acá desde que salio Witness, no la abandone, muchos fans(si es que así se les puede llamar) la abandonaron por que Katy Perry en esa era nos quiso dar a entender muchas cosas y como ellos estaban acostumbrados a lo que hacía Katy no les pareció su concepto tan diferente. Y claro los que la quisieron desacreditar lo hicieron y muy bien.. Pero ahora ya se supo realmente lo que sucedió.
The message Katy Perry gave us was amazing. The worst part is, everyone canceled it. Now karma is hitting us. We love you Katy
Look at the minute 1:30 as they want to take us all like zombies, blind, following the rhythm towards "1984" (1984 it's a George Orwell novel centres on the consequences of government over-reach, totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and repressive regimentation of all persons and behaviours within society.)
Shall we take off the rose-colored glasses and do we do something to avoid it or will we follow "their rhythm" obediently without doing anything?
Lol way did people cancel her✨🥑
Oi
was i the only one who was in love with this song when it came out and never cancelled katy?
Katy is love
The best song that’s so criminally underrated. It so accurately depicts our society, now, more than ever. She was so ahead of her time
This says a lot about society #joker
707M is underrated?
@@quo-ronah4272 The number of views is impressive, yes, but I never hear anyone talk about this song and it’s often regarded as one of her worst
@Lewis Perry they do on this song but MUCH MORE on Bob apetit
This song came into my mind when I was reading all the news that’s come out of the Supreme Court and from red states
Omg, she literally spoke facts in her song in subliminal way
I used to not like this song before, but rewatching it now, this is actually a song of reality. Katy used a lot of symbolism and a lot of awakening from the current system that we have. What a brilliant song and artist!
Can you imagine how she was literally ahead of time?? Can anyone tell me? Gahdd. Her lyrics are full of messages and deep meaning about the world and our society. WAKE UP! Ya'll tryin' to ignore this but it's really make sense now that we are facing some of scenario that has been discused in this music video. Such a powerful/meaningful song. Ugh her mind!! 😩
She wasn’t ahead of her time. She was used to disseminate these messages and desensitize us to the truth. ‘put the truth in a pop song so they don’t take it seriously’. Duh
xayre xyair 👏👏👏 Absolutely right!!!!
@@chelseaklein1275 it actually have a deep meaning but just put into a candy pop tune because in the end people only care about the rhythm/beat but not the message of the song... and that's how amazing and mind-boggling this song was.. and the fact it's called *chained to the rhythm*
if you still didn't get it, idk.
The fact that someone like Katy Perry risked her career to put this message out, *and that message flew over people's head* ... Wow, the problem is worse than I thought...
artists of such a level as Katy Perry are part of the system, they are directly part of its influence on the masses
yea..but didnt she directly contribute with this song. She made this song, people thought the beat was nice and all, and all the money the song made went to capitalistic idiots. Didnt achieve much. and katy's lyrics have never been her strong point. seems kinda hypocritical to say this message when most of the money is going back to the people it criticizes
@@aamir6892 Not to mention, but this song has a lot of possible interpretations. Everyone who listened to the lyrics beyond the chorus knows it's a social critique, but people disagree on what it's critiquing. Is it criticizing people's inability to express their own opinions, or express them in a healthy way? Or does it criticize capitialism in the music industry? I think that Katy had good intentions, but she could've chose one specific theme and stuck to it, and I do agree that if her message was the first priority, she should've self-produced the song.
She didn't...The elite WANT this message out, and they did it for all artist, They prepare you for their own events, and plans, and they also prepare how you will react. Example, lets say they prepare people for an alien invasion with movie propaganda (pretty much) and music , It happens and the people have been prepared yet we believe the whistle blowers on t.v risked their lives, But what if it is a government manufactured invasion and you were SUPPOSED to accept it and know about it... Former respected nasa employees have outright said it's true, But they don't care , This is an extreme example but this is my point
My all time favorite song of hers!!! Could listen to it over and over! Was never played enough when she first recorded it!😮
one of her most underrated hits... deserved so much more
One of Katy’s best songs with a truthful message but sadly things aren’t changing for the better fast enough and the suffering/unnecessary deaths continue

We’re going backwards in this country and it’s scary and saddening to see
@@jesuusch Yeah...
People didn't pay attention to her and the message she was trying to give, but look at what's happening now. She said it but people didn't listen.
And now shes taumatized. Look at her recent posts about blm. All of them are just shared posts and links and she didn’t insert her own words in them because shes is afraid that people are gonna twist her words again.
Agree, I'm very sad for her because she did her best. but no one listen to her.
I agree to she was famous one day and the other day she was down and people start to hate her😢

I also get goosebumps when I listen to this song..especially when the male artist does his rhyme..He speaks so much truth.😢❤
This song has so many deep messages, but yet sounds so bright and happy.
That's the point. We live in a bubble of comfort, oblivious to the pain.
Why so long
not quite bright and happy, there's a distinct echo of (80s?) nostalgia, and a lack of resolution, gradually shifting into half hope, half reconciliation.
That's the point shes hella woke

This song actually explains how the world we are living in was damaged by social media and people keep shuttering their eyes without being able to see what they have become. Sad but true.
Literally and when she says “we cannot see the trouble” it’s people taking pictures…
Me encantan tus canciones
More damage to come. 😑
She herself is a part of it.
"Time is ticking for the empire" -- which empire??
Stop....
It's about the news, politics and corporations.
Despite the passing of time, the allure of this song remains intact after more than 7 years
Anyone 2024?
maturing is realising that katy perry is not crazy
update: it is 2022 I wrote this comment in early 2021 not knowing much about the truth of this industry. being fully aware now, Katy Perry is chained to the rhythm
UPDATE 2: its dec 2023 a week later it will be 2024, We are all chained to the rhythm
When was she ever considered crazy

listen smile the new album of katy perry and the new single "Not The End Of The World"
She was always right and people ignored her, sorry katy
I always felt bad for people criticizing her for saying the truth. She was brave and many people didn't understand. The lyric says it so clearly

@@lnoza6809 false. That was actually a really good episode... the fact she played that role with the given subject matter also rings to some truth in that episode about reality.
@@kyleswarts6660 I mean maybe that's what you think but like I said "better than miley" bc thats my opinion. Okay
@@lnoza6809 from an artistic and interpretive perspective, wrong lol. It's a great episode.
La cancelaron, le dieron la espalda, la criticaron, la difamaron, estuvo al borde del suicidio, todo porque ella trató de defender y expresarse, y ahora 3 años después siempre tuvo la razón!
Porque la cancelaron perdón no estoy enterada de nada
x2, en ese tiempo no me interesaba nada de chismes de internet, por qué querían cancelarla?
Por la supuesta relación con la red de pederastas de la cual hilary clinton fue expuesta y como katy perry apoyaba a hilary en su campaña hacia la presidencia la tomaron contra ella también aunque ella no tenía nada que ver, ella expuso muchas cosas en este video y también en el de bon appetit, pero en aquel tiempo nadie entendió todos le dieron la espalda pero si miras los videos con detenimiento y con todo lo que ha salido a la luz hay muchas cosas expuestas que en aquel momento no les convenía y lamentablemente el público se dejó llevar y la cancelaron.
Mia Land yo viví la era Witness y vi como luego de esta canción todo se vino abajo de un día al otro su carrera comenzó a derrumbarse, leí cientos de titulares donde la difamaban a más no poder. Literal su carrera decayó de la noche a la mañana. Cuando hasta el 2015 era amada por todo USA.

If you see this in 2024, the world we live in now is what this video was trying to warn us of
Might re-elect Trump too this year which is the main event that triggered Katy to do this song lol. Full circle…
Katy Perry is A LEGEND ❤ Is never really over
I never ever forgot this song, she spoke about things alot of artiste were afraid to speak on. This song revealed alot of things. Can't believe u guys cancelled her because she foresaw all the crap that's now going on
she was an ARTIST here. (most) her audience unfortunately did not meet this level. that’s why it wasn’t a hit compared to her other stuff at least. but she NAILED IT. out of the box while in the box. smart people get this. probably my favorite. I like her basic stuff as well. ❤
It was still a preety big hit
It wasn't a complete flop!😂
It was a huge global smash
bro 700m+ views on the MV i think it’s a damn hit for sure
I used to watch this music video as a kid with my friends and we just used to go “which ride’s the best?” Not aware of the meaning of the song and the messages 😭
I feel really bad for the kids who didn’t grow up with this song.
Almost 6 years later and this song is still a masterpiece
agree

Sempre choro
Mhmm you're not wrong there buddy
This whole song is genius. Catchy rhythm, appropriate referencing, prescient and scary messging, beautiful music video. A genuinely good track from the late 2010s. Didn't like this era very much overall, but I oppose the haters because there were indeed good tracks from this time
Literally such a bop…but when u break down the symbols and the lyrics..it’s not so fun and games.
It was only 4 years ago.
And then you´ll start listening to Witness and then you'll say that this was Katy's best album... It goes on and on and on :)
Perfectly said
This song is very bittersweet I love it
JusticeForKatyPerry
She was trying to warn us about what this song is a metaphor for....we are so engrossed by the fun rhythm that you have to listen closely to the disturbing lyrics
The message behind this video gave me chills

What was the message?

Ayham Adawi what's the message
“She ruined her career by....” no. She didn’t ruin her career, she’s had a child and still being a queen, stream daises, stream queen Katy Perry.
She did almost ruin her career with all the hidden stuff here
KATY PERRY IS BEING SABOTAGED BY CAPITOL RECORDS, HERE'S WHY AND HOW. (A THREAD)
1) In 2017, Katy released a political song Chained To The Rhythm, before that she was very vocal in politics, CTTR did pretty well on charts. But then she released Bon Appetit with Migos. Migos is an openly transphobic trio and Katy is LGBT+ supporter. Which means Capitol forced her
2) Bon Appetit was set to release solo but it got a feature on it on the last minute, and Katy got so much hate from it. When she was accused of being transphobic, her team did NOTHING to fix her image.
3) In 2018, Capitol's CEO confirmed that they were "disappointed" by Witness' unsuccess. And stated that they have a plan for Katy that they're excited for. But nothing happened in 2018. You can read his full conversation here
4)Katy released Harley's In Hawaii in 2019, which was a fan-favourite, was the fastest Katy Perry song ever to enter iTunes USA Top 10. But the song wasnt sent to the radios, it got sent later when the hype died down.
5)What is more strange about this is that even though HIH was so fast to enter the top 10, the song wouldnt come up when you searched it on iTunes. The song fell so quick. It lasted only 10 days on the chart even though its sudden success
6)Katy released Daisies, her lead single from her album earlier this year along with the music video. Daisies went #1 on iTunes and managed to say in the chart for over a month. But however, the song wasnt sent to the radios.
7)as you can see from the song's chart success, the song got out of the itunes chart after four weeks of release. The song was sent to the radios right after it got out of the chart, but the hype was already dead. and after 2 weeks, the song was taken back from the radios
8)Smile performance video was posted on KRplus without Katy knowing, after it got posted by her team, they deleted it. And posted it again on the right time. But the video already had over 500k views before they deleted. Also reminder that Smile was leaked 2 months before release.
9)Why would Capitol sabotage Katy, why is it good for them? Katy has a 5 album contract with capitol which ends with Smile, and Capitol doesnt want her to be a rival to them if she goes to an another company.
10)Katy is the only executive producer of Smile, which means she financed the album with her own money, because Capitol didnt financially support her
11)an average album is most likely to get 100 to 300 million playlist support from Spotify, but Smile only got 35 million. Also the whole album got leaked before its release by her own label, they sent the vinyls and cds to fans almost 2 weeks before release.
@@user-oz6yc2kr1j How? Trying to spread awareness if any song almost did it definitely wasn't CTTR?
@@matthew1932 nah she did with all this stuff and ya fake ass fans attacking her now ya kissing her ass like no

She is so genial and deep. A decisive critique of the American lifesystem disguised as with a video of a carefree amusement park.
More like a city
This video is deceptive and shows the sad true.
At 0:11 you think she is going to a real amusement park to have fun.
The rest of the video, makes it clear though she is at the amusement park from hell instead.
A playful utopian pseudo ideal
Why is it about Katy Perry going to amusment park about some gerbil? Is it supposed to connect to the song? What does it mean?

Justice for Katy Perry and Album Witness
dude.. i never thought a katy perry song would open my eyes like this. this makes me wanna delete social media lol
Sometimes same here.
Especially since I just noticed the ride they were on was called “love me” and it was clearly about getting likes on social media 😬
U havent? Lol
But you dont.....right?

They woke up the lions!!! ♾
This is gaining popularity now. So relevant. She's been ahead of everyone then.
@beautiful mind I can't do much but I hope things get better for you from India
@Lina Morgana secular?? Haha no
Its called subliminal messages
i mean ok
@beautiful mind
I hope so too. But as an American I'll tell you for a fact that this nation is being controlled by Evangelicals (extreme form of Christianity). They are persecuting anyone that isn't what they'd call normal. I myself, come from an Orthodox Jewish community and I'm Agnostic, Lesbian, and Progressive. I'm receiving a lot of persecution from my community as well and the state doesn't care. I hope things get better for both of us :((
Justice for witness
6 years later and this song still hits different. Truly
a masterpiece.
The depth of the song...still has me today.
“we think we’re free” i can’t believe that i didn’t get the meaning of this song earlier is so crazy.
ItsEmlia ! probably about the government, just listen to the lyrics very closely.
@ItsEmlia ! I dont think it's about the government at all. It's about us being addicted to pleasure. "Turn it up it's your favorite song" "put it on repeat"
Brooklynn D “ Turn it up it’s your favorite song, dance dance dance to the distortion. Turn it up, keep it on repeat. Stumbling around like a wasted zombie.” ? Don’t think that’s pleasure.
@@earthbound11037 oh my god i thought she was saying dance to the disco show😂😂
Brooklynn D Yeah this song is about our world/government and how we’re all chained to a rhythm (basically we’re stuck in a routine. Work, eat, die.)
