Song Of The Week! (Week 2)

Firework By Katy Perry

     Hey everyone! This week's song is Firework By Katy Perry. It was written by herself, Mikkel S. Erikson, Tor Erik Hermansen, Sandy Wilhelm, and Ester Dean. This song is in her album Teenage Dream (Click the link to buy it at Amazon.com). It was released on October 26th, 2010(2 Years Ago!). Firework was a very successful song, reaching the top on the Billboard 100, and Top 5 on 20 charts all around the world. It has sold over 5 million copies in the U.S alone as of October 2011! So, Fireworks was a very popular song. Here is the song:

I personally like this song a lot. It sends an amazing message and it is very catchy. This is what Katy herself said about this song: "Now, people are coming back and almost adopting it as their own anthem, and its hard, I think, to write an anthem that's not cheesy, and I hope that this could be something in that category. I hope that this could be one of those things where it's like, 'Yeah, I want to put my fist up and feel proud and strong.' But I also don't want to be cheesy, it's a fine line, and I think 'Firework' would be like the opus or my one song- if I had to pick a song to play-'cause it has a great beat. But it also has a fantastic message. Many people refer to the lines 'like the fourth of July' however the lyrics were 'like a firefly' as they reminded me of fireworks at night whenever I saw them. However the trend caught on and in live performances I sing 'like the fourth of July' which happens to make great sense to the song name." This song tells us how we are all special and we shouldn't feel sad, like in her lyric: Do you ever feel already buried deep? Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing. Do you know that there's still a chance for you, 'Cause there's a spark in you? You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine! Just own the night like the 4th of July! Cause baby your a firework! I think this is an amazing song and you guys should listen to her music!
