"E.T."
Song

"E.T." is a song by American recording artist Katy Perry from her third studio album Teenage Dream (2010). Written and produced by Dr. Luke, Max Martin, and Ammo, with Katy Perry also credited for songwriting, it was released as the album's third promotional single on August 17, 2010. The song was later announced as the album's fourth single and released on February 16, 2011. The single version features vocals by American rapper Kanye West.

Played over a "stomp-stomp-clap" beat similar to Queen's "We Will Rock You" (1977), "E.T." is an electronic ballad that tells of "falling in love with a foreigner". Extraterrestrial metaphors are used throughout, and West continues these metaphors in his two verses, making heavy use of Auto-Tune at times. The song is set in slow tempo with 76 beats per minute. Some critics find its composition similar to several artists including Rihanna, Evanescence, t.A.T.u. and Queen.

The song peaked at number one in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Poland as well as within the top five in Australia, Ireland and the United Kingdom and the top 20 in ten other European countries. "E.T" received mostly positive reviews from music critics who complimented Perry's vocals throughout the song, noting that the song was different for Perry, having a darker, deeper, and more mature tone. West's vocals during the song received mixed to positive reviews from critics who were divided in their opinions.

An accompanying music video was directed by Floria Sigismondi. The video shows Perry and West singing in outer space. Upon its release on MTV.com on March 31, 2011 the video received positive reviews from critics. Katy Perry performed the song during her California Dreams Tour (2011) and on some television appearances such as American Idol. Just like previous Teenage Dream singles, "E.T." has been widely used as a cover song.

Background and release

The decision to write "E.T." came after its beat was accidentally played in the recording studio, as it was originally intended for American hip hop group Three 6 Mafia.[1][2] Admiring its acoustics, Perry chose to work with the track, wishing to write a "futuristic, alienistic [sic] song".[1] After the release of Teenage Dream, "E.T." was released as the third and final promotional single on August 17, 2010.[3] In December 2010, Perry asked fans for their opinion on Teenage Dream's next single, through the social networking site Twitter.[4] Speculation arose that "Peacock" would be its next single, but "E.T." was eventually announced as the record's fourth single through her Facebook page.[4][5][6] That announcement was accompanied by the single's artwork, which features Perry with cat eye make-up, bangs, and a sequined top.[6][7] The single version features vocals from American rapper Kanye West and was released on February 16, 2011.[8]

An album track of three minutes and 26 seconds, "E.T." is an electronic, and hip hop ballad, with elements of teen pop.[2][10][11][12] BBC Music described the song as a "rave-influenced quasi ballad".[13] It was written by Perry, Lukasz Gottwald, Max Martin, and Joshua Coleman, and produced by the last three, with Gottwald and Coleman credited as Dr. Luke and Ammo.[14] According to sheet music from Alfred Music Publishing, the song was originally published in F minor and follows a slow tempo of 76 beats per minute in common time.[12] Perry's voice spans E♭4 to D♭5.[12] According to Ann Powers of the Los Angeles Times, "E.T." carries influences from Barbadian singer Rihanna and features Perry using a "hip-hop diva's stutter".[9] The song's instrumentals have been described as "a mishmash and bleeps and blips with a driving drum track".[15] Darryl Sterdan of the QMI Agency noted the song uses the "stomp-stomp-clap" beat from Queen's "We Will Rock You" (1977),[10] while Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted similarities to productions by Ryan Tedder.[16] Matthew Perpetua of Rolling Stone felt the song was similar in sound to hard rock ballads by Evanescence.[17]

According to Katy Perry, the song is about "falling in love with a foreigner".[18] Using metaphors about extraterrestrials, she sings, "You're not like the others / Futuristic lover / Different DNA".[14][19] The chorus has Perry addressing her lover: "Kiss me, kiss me / Infect me with your love and / Fill me with your poison", claiming to be "ready for abduction".[14] For its single release, the song was reworked to feature two verses from Kanye West, which continue the extraterrestrial metaphors.[7][8][20] Opening the track with "I got a dirty mind / I got filthy ways",[21] he then goes on to say, "They callin' me an alien / A big-headed astronaut".[20] West contributes another verse before Perry's final refrain, with heavily Auto-Tuned vocals: "I know a bar out in Mars / Where they driving spaceships instead of cars".[15][19] He finishes with a reference to the fictional character Shrek and lyrics of "alien sex": "Imma disrobe you then imma probe you / See, I abducted you so I tell you what to do."[20][21][22] The National Post's Ben Kaplan noted West's presence on the track was similar to his work on his fourth studio album, 808s & Heartbreak (2008).[15]

Critical reception

Critics were divided on rapper West's contribution to the single version of "E.T.".

"E.T." has received mixed reviews from professional critics. It has been noted for bringing out a different side of Perry, with a darker, deeper, and more mature tone.[17][23][24] This was praised by BBC Music's Al Fox, who enjoyed the contrast from her conventionally upbeat pop tracks like "Hot n Cold" and "California Gurls".[13] Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly felt Perry showed strength on the song, comparing its sound to a combination of American rock musicians Lita Ford and Trent Reznor.[25] Matthew Cole of Slant Magazine disliked the track's inscrutability and said that "E.T."'s backing track was reminiscent of t.A.T.u.'s "All the Things She Said" (2002).[26] Ann Powers from Los Angeles Times stated that "[Perry] can feign a hip-hop diva’s stutter on the Rihanna-influenced 'E.T.,' and convince you that it fits her perfectly. No tailoring required! Whatever person exists beneath Perry’s wigs and costumes is irrelevant to her music. Her process of self-creation is the purpose and sum of her art".[27] Stephen Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic said that “E.T. replicates Ryan Tedder’s glassy robotic alienation, but tellingly avoids ripping off Lady Gaga, who is just too meta for the blunt Katy -- but these are merely accents to her old One of the Boys palette".[28]

Now's Jason Richards called the song "awkward" and Sputnikmusic's Rudy Clapper dismissed its attempt at a more mature sound, calling it "cheesy".[29][30] Bill Lamb, writing for About.com, gave a three-and-a-half star review out of five: he was disappointed with the lack of a defined hook, remarking the song could have had more potential and that its "edginess builds without release."[24] In his review, PopMatters' staff writer Steve Leftridge wrote: "Plus, songs like 'E.T.' or 'Circle the Drain' are neither strong nor edgy nor clever nor sonically interesting enough to lend any genuine credibility to Perry as a serious artist with anything to actually say."[31]

Reviewing the remix, critics were divided over West's appearance. Kaplan lauded the track as a "great duet", praising the vocals of both performers, a statement echoed by Lamb, who felt West's verses intensified the song.[15][24] Further, Entertainment Weekly's Brad Wete felt the song was improved with a male perspective.[32] Digital Spy's Robert Copsey gave a review of four stars out of five, but felt, on the other hand, that the rapper's contribution added nothing to the track.[33] Amos Barshad of New York felt West's alien metaphors went into jarring, misogynistic directions.[19]

Commercial performance

The solo version of the song charted at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 following its release as a promotional single, selling 64,000 digital copies.[34] It debuted the same week on the Canadian Hot 100 at number 13.[35] In Australia, the song debuted at number 12 and peaked at number five for two weeks in February 2011.[36] Since then "E.T." has been certified double platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association.[37] One week after debuting at number 17, "E.T." topped the New Zealand Singles Chart on January 31, 2011, becoming her sixth number-one in the country, and has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand for sales of 15,000.[38][39] As of July 20, 2011, it also became Perry's third single to be on New Zealand's Best Singles of All Time, just behind "Firework" and "California Gurls".[40] On February 26, 2011, the solo version of the song entered Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs chart at number 36, and later topped it, becoming her sixth number-one on the chart.[41][42]

Following its single release featuring West, the song re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 on March 5, 2011 at number 28 with 110,000 copies sold.[43] "E.T." topped the chart in its seventh week on April 9, 2011, giving Perry her fifth number-one and West his fourth.[44][45] It ended the six-week run of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" and made Teenage Dream the ninth album in history to yield four number-one singles.[46] The song stayed at number-one for three consecutive weeks and returned for an additional two due to high airplay and digital sales.[47][48][49] It topped Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart for seven weeks, the longest since Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie" in 2010.[50]

On Billboard's Mainstream Top 40 (Pop Songs), "E.T." set a record for most weekly plays in the 18-year history of the chart: for the tracking week of April 25 – May 1, 2011, Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems registered 12,330 plays over its 131 stations—an average of 94 plays per station.[51] This figure rewrote Perry's previous record held with "California Gurls" in July 2010 (12,159).[51] That record was later broken yet again by Perry, when her single "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" registered 12,468 plays for the week dated August 13, 2011.[52] Meanwhile, on the Rhythmic Airplay Chart, she achieved her first number-one hit, a rare feat for female pop artists considering she was the third to ever do so.[53]

In other Billboard charts, "E.T." reached number two on the Adult Pop Songs chart, and the top 20 on the Adult Contemporary and Latin Pop Songs charts.[54][55] Its highest sales week according to Nielsen SoundScan came in its fourth week at the summit of the Billboard Hot 100, where it sold 344,000 copies following its American Idol performance.[48] The song sold over 300,000 digital copies in a week four times, becoming one of four songs in history to achieve this.[50] "E.T." was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America on April 28, 2011.[56] As of September 2011, "E.T." has sold 4,682,000 digital copies in the US alone and is the highest selling track for the first half of 2011.[57] This is Perry's fifth and West's second song to reach the 4 million range which, for Perry is more than any other female artist in digital history and for West, is also more than any other male artist in digital history.[58][59]

The song re-entered the Canadian Hot 100 at number 18 following its single release and topped the chart in its 12th week, on May 7, 2011.[60][61] "E.T." has charted in Ireland at number five, and has become a top ten hit in Austria, Germany and Italy, a top 20 hit in Belgium (Wallonia), Denmark, France, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland, and a top 40 hit in Belgium (Flanders).[36][62][63][64] On the UK Singles Chart, the single peaked at number three in its eighth week, becoming her eighth top ten hit there.[65][66] It has since been certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales of 200,000 units.[67] Elsewhere in Europe, the song charted in its solo version at number 18 on the Slovak airplay chart, 20 on the Czech airplay chart, 27 on the Dutch Top 40, and 28 on the Greek airplay chart.[68][69][70][71]

Music video

Perry kissed Shaun Ross to transform him from a robot.[72]

The video was filmed in February 2011.[73] It was released on March 31, 2011, premiering on MTV.com.[74] A backstage picture of West wearing street clothes along with Perry in a pastel-colored makeup and a giant braided headpiece was shown on MTV.[7] On March 21, a teaser trailer was released; it was 19 seconds long and showed clips of an unidentified flying object.[75] Its music video was directed by Floria Sigismondi, known for her "dark, feminine" work for artists including Christina Aguilera and Marilyn Manson.[7][76] In an interview with NRJ's French radio show Le 6/9 on March 10, 2011, Perry revealed she was satisfied with her decision to collaborate with Sigismondi, after having previewed a 30-second clip.[77] During another interview she said: "I'm looking forward to making music videos on this new album. There's a story to the songs. [...] I'm really excited about ... making those music videos that are going to be larger than life."[7][75]

The video begins with the song "Where in the World Can My Lover Be?" by Midge Williams & Her Jazz Jesters playing in the background. As the music begins, West is shown in a Sputnik like spacecraft revealing pictures before zooming out of the craft.[78] In the video, Perry, as an alien, drifts through outer space while slowly evolving into a humanoid appearance before landing on an abandoned Earth covered with litter.[72] Clips are interspersed of large felids hunting game.[79] She comes across a broken robot (resembling a spaceman), which upon her kiss turns into a naked male, played by Shaun Ross.[72][80] It is eventually revealed that Perry's legs are in fact those of a gazelle.[81] Meanwhile, West is featured in the video floating in a travelling spacecraft.[82][83] The video also alludes to a presumable future, as Katy finds a box containing a skeleton of a Pigeon (a species said to have gone extinct in 2030) and a pair of Vogue sunglasses, which she later wears.

Throughout the video, Perry wears heavy cosmetics and extravagant outfits,[84] including blue and pink make-up, cat- and reptile-like eyes, and Medusa-esque braids.[85][86][87] New York's Willa Paskin compared her looks to "detailed, outlandish, [and] semi-gorgeous rainbow-kabuki".[81] She has also received comparisons to Lady Gaga's look in the music video for "Born This Way", the Queen of Sheba, Ziggy Stardust, the alter ego of English musician David Bowie, and fictional characters Lara Croft, Padmé Amidala, the aliens from Battlefield Earth, and Jadzia Dax.[79][85][88][89] the video itself has been described as "a sequel to Avatar or a Katy Perry video game".[17] In June 2011, Fuse ranked the video at number 96 on the top 100 sexiest videos of all time.[90] At the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, Perry's video for "E.T." was nominated in five categories,[91] winning awards in MTV Video Music Award for Best Collaboration and Best Special Effects.[92]

Live performances and cover versions

Perry has performed "E.T." at several venues, including as a bonus song for her Walmart Soundcheck set, and at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan on December 10, 2010 for Z100's Jingle Ball.[93][94] The song has also been included on the set list of the California Dreams Tour, Perry's second concert tour.[95] The song was released as a free track on Katy Perry Revenge 2, a game for the iOS application Tap Tap.[96] A lyrics video for the single was posted on Perry's website on March 16, 2011.[97] After playing "We Will Rock You", West performed "E.T." without Perry at the 2011 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.[98] Perry performed the single with West for the first time on the tenth season of American Idol on April 21, 2011. Carried by background dancers, she wore a flickering outfit and was joined by West, who was previously unannounced.[99]

Like other singles from Teenage Dream, "E.T." has been covered by a number of other artists and celebrities. An acoustic version was performed by VersaEmerge in May 2011 at the The Fueled By Ramen Studios.[100] One month later, celebrity personality members of the Kardashian and Jenner family posted a video of themselves covering "E.T." while on a Mexico vacation. A journalist for the Huffington Post called their cover "actually pretty awesome".[101] That same month, Wynter Gordon sang the song on Australia's Dancing With the Stars; she instead performed "E.T." as a slow love ballad. A surprised Idolator writer said Gordon turned in "gravity-defying vocals that probably surpass those on the original."[102] In July, a girl-group called Vida put what The Sun called a "fun twist" into their own cover of Perry's song.[103] On The X Factor, Amelia Lily sang the song in judges houses, and group Little Mix (formerly Rhythmix) performed the song during Halloween Fright Night. On November 12, 2011 West performed the mashed "E.T." with "We Will Rock You" during the SWU Music & Arts Festival 2011.
