The song was written and produced by Dr. Luke, Max Martin, and Cirkut, with additional songwriting provided by Perry and Bonnie McKee. The lyrics address standing up for oneself and self-empowerment.

"Roar" received generally mixed to favorable reviews from music critics; many appreciated its overall production, while others felt that its lyrical content contained "clichés". The song became Perry's eighth non-consecutive number one song on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and, also peaked at number one in various charts, including Australia, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Additionally, it also reached the top five in most international charts, including France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland.

To promote the song, Perry performed at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, under the Brooklyn Bridge, as the ceremony's closing, on The X Factor, and on the German TV show Schlag den Raab. Grady Hall and Mark Kudsi directed the song's music video, which features Perry trying to adapt to the jungle where she survived a plane crash, and taming a tiger. It garnered generally mixed reviews from music critics. "Roar" has been nominated for the Song of the Year and for the Best Pop Solo Performance at the 56th Grammy Awards. The song is among some of the best-selling singles worldwide.

The song was mixed by Serban Ghenea at MixStar Studios. "Roar" was recorded in four other studios: Luke's in the Boo, Playback Recording Studio and Secret Garden Studios, all located in the state of California, as well as MXM Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.[1] All its development took place in March 2013.[2] During an interview with MTV, McKee described "Roar" as "kind of a 'pick yourself up and dust yourself off and keep going', female-empowerment song" and "kind of an epiphany song."[3] Perry said she wrote the song after undergoing therapy, saying she was "sick of keeping all these feelings inside and not speaking up for myself".[4]

The song's release was announced with the release of a video teaser, entitled "Burning Baby Blue", that saw Perry burning a blue wig.[5] More video teasers were released onto YouTube, that showed Perry at a funeral with a coffin decorated with the singer's famous pink and white pinwheels dress,[6] and entering a recording booth while dressed with a "throwback" jacket featured in the single's cover art,[7] which was revealed on August 8, 2013.[7] It features a tiger print border around Perry, who wears a blue Japanese silk sukajan jacket, with the image of a tiger printed on its back.[8] On the same day of the song's digital release, a lyric video for it, produced by Joe Humpay, Aya Tanimura, Tim Zimmer, and Tuan Le, was released onto YouTube. It primarily shows Perry doing daily activities such as eating breakfast, going to the bathroom, and taking a bath, while texting the lyrics of "Roar" to friends. Some words are substituted with various Emoji characters.[9][10] It was target of plagiarism accusations by music producer Dillon Francis, who felt it copied the concept of instant messaging from his video entitled "Messages".[11]

Musically, "Roar" is styled in power pop, and incorporates various elements from rock sub-genres: folk rock, arena and glam rock.[12][13][14][15] Throughout the song, Perry "flexes diva-like vocals", singing the lyric "Hey!" several times in a way resemblant of The Lumineers.[16] The song's instrumentation is composed of "pounding" pianos and "booming" bass drums.[16] According to the sheet music published by Alfred Publishing Co., Inc. on Musicnotes.com, "Roar" is composed in the key of B♭ major and set in a 4/4 time signature at a moderate tempo of 90 beats per minute. The melody spans the tonal range of B♭3 to D5, while the music follows the chord progression of B♭–Cm–Gm–E♭.[17] The song shares the theme of empowerment with Perry's hit single "Firework".[18][19] Perry described the track as a song speaking about standing up for oneself.[20]

Critical reception

Miriam Coleman from Rolling Stone appreciated the songs's "easy poppy beat" and the its "repeated refrains", factors which the reviewer believed that contributed to make the song a "determined note for the new album".[21] James Montgomery of MTV described it as "one of the more perfect pop songs to come down the pipeline in quite a while", while Gerrick D. Kennedy from Los Angeles Times shared Montgomery's opinion, classifying "Roar" as a "sweet, poppy confection with a bit of bite".[22][23] Melinda Newman from HitFix saw the song as a "change of pace" for Perry.,[24] whilst Andrew Hampp from Billboard believed it to be a return to the style of her album One of the Boys, but criticized its tempo and its lyrics that "rarely rise above easy clichés and rhymes".[25] Bill Lamb from About.com gave "Roar" an extremely positive review, describing it as a "slice of uplifting, personal pop that is instantly catchy and memorable". He also highlighted the "confident" lyrics and the "bouncy feel" of the music.[26] A reviewer from Lava Lizard found the song to be "predictable", while Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine described the song as "more of a yelp than a roar".[27][28]

Usage in sports

On September 16, 2013, the song was unexpectedly used during player introductions by the Cincinnati Bengals in their home opener against the rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football, to tie in the song's jungle theme with the team's nickname. Throughout the game, the song was also played sporadically during game breaks. Although the Bengals won the game 20-10, the song drew much criticism by Bengals fans and even some of the team's players. One Bengals fan even told the Wall Street Journal that Steeler fans sitting near him were laughing at the Bengals fans throughout the game; the Steelers themselves have used the Styx song "Renegade" frequently at Heinz Field since 2001.[29] Four days after the game, the team publicly apologized, announcing that while the song won't be nixed from Paul Brown Stadium's playlist completely, the team would use a hard rock or classic rock song for player introductions moving forward.[30] The song was used by MMA fighter Miesha Tate as her entrance music for her fight at UFC 168, Tate was even seen singing along to the chorus on her way to the cage as a last minute motivational technique.

Plagiarism accusations

Upon the release of "Roar", many accused Perry of copying Sara Bareilles' song "Brave".[22][31][32][33] When Bareilles herself was asked about the controversy between the two songs, she responded: "Katy's a friend of mine and we've known each other a really long time", and was upset that there was a "negative spin on two artists that are choosing to share positive messages." She also mentioned she had known about "Roar" before its release and stated "If I'm not mad I don’t know why anybody else is upset".[34] In response to the accusations, Dr. Luke, producer and co-writer of "Roar" tweeted on August 14, 2013: "Roar was written and recorded before Brave came out."[35] In direct response to the attention "Brave" received as a result of the plagiarism accusations, Epic Records decided to promote "Brave" to the mainstream pop radio format.[36]

Music video

Filming of the official music video for "Roar" began on August 7, 2013 and ended on August 9, 2013. The video was released on September 5, 2013, directed by Grady Hall and Mark Kudsi, and filmed at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden.[88] A 21-second teaser of the video had previously been uploaded on August 25, 2013.[89] Nokia posted a two-minute behind the scenes video on September 4, 2013.[90] On November 14, 2013, an extended 17-minute behind-the-scenes video was uploaded to Perry's official VEVO account.[91]

Synopsis

The video begins with a scene showing Perry and her boyfriend having crashed their plane in the jungle. Perry shows signs of worry, while her boyfriend takes pictures of himself and dumps his bags on her to explore. As it turns to night, Perry and her boyfriend are still wandering through the jungle as her boyfriend throws things back at her. Suddenly, he is attacked by a tiger and Perry dumps her bags and runs off screaming. She approaches a lake and is almost bitten by a crocodile when she puts her hand in the water. She sits on a rock and ends up covered in tarantulas and breathing rapidly. As Perry looks into the lake while singing the chorus, she sees a reflection of a tiger instead of herself. Behind her in the darkness there are dozens of pairs of blinking eyes, but they are revealed to be fireflies which fly around Perry before forming an image of a roaring tiger in the sky.

Presumably a few days later, Perry has since made friends with a monkey and uses her stiletto heel to form an spear. She uses it to shoot a banana, which she gives to the monkey. In another scene, Perry is bathing in the lake, with the help of an elephant who sprays her with water from the lake using its trunk. Perry helps a crocodile by brushing its teeth using a toothbrush she has salvaged, and tries to reach her clothes which have been taken by the elephant. At night, she holds a torch and explores a cave. Inside, she watches an animated drawing on the wall in which humans try to kill a tiger; attempting to burn it as it grows stronger and shooting spears which it sends firing back towards them. When she leaves the cave, it is light outside and Perry is wearing a leopard-print bra and grass skirt, displaying a boost of confidence and holding the spear she made earlier. She stands on top of a waterfall, overlooking the jungle, and then swings across the sky on a vine. With the help of the monkey, Perry builds a cat toy which she uses to distract the tiger who ate her boyfriend earlier in the video. She lures it into an area of the jungle, and traps it inside. She comes face-to-face with the tiger and the two of them roar at each other, until Perry's roar tames the tiger as it sits in front of her submissively. Afterwards, Perry is shown sitting on a giant grass throne, wearing a flower crown as the rest of the jungle animals sit around her, including the tiger, monkey and elephant. The tiger is shown wearing a collar that says "Kitty Purry", a reference to Perry's real-life cat of the same name. Perry takes selfies with the monkey on her boyfriend's phone, and applies lipstick made from berries she has picked. She also paints the elephant's toenails pink. Perry awakens from sleeping in the plane, leading the viewer to think all the previous events have just been a dream, but walks out of the plane still in the jungle, stretching her arms and yawning with the animals sitting around her.

Reception

Upon its release, the music video received mixed reviews from critics. Idolator contributors Robbie Daw, Sam Lansky and Carl Willott gave it mostly lackluster reviews. Daw considered that the release of such a "safe" video was a disappointment for Perry and expressed eagerness to her next single; while Lansky likened its "edg[iness]" to that of a "woman's antiperspirant commercial"; and the latter divided the video in what he considered to be of "good cheesy" and "bad cheesy": he highlighted the fake set, Perry's acting and the ending, but criticized the CGI, which he deemed "dopey", the product placement and Perry's "overly literal roar-off with a tiger". The only writer for the website that gave the visual a favorable review was Mike Wass, who appreciated the "campy element[s]" in it, while noting that it drew inspiration from the music video for "Doctor Jones" by the dance-pop group Aqua. In total, the reviews had an average score of approximately 6 out of 10.[92]

James Montgomery from MTV believed that the video drew inspiration from Sheena, Queen of the Jungle and stated the video did not take itself too seriously, describing it as "camp".[93] Slant Magazine writer Sal Cinquemani was neutral about the video, noting that although Prism was being billed as a departure for Perry, both "Roar" and its video were not.[94] Perry was criticized by PETA for using exotic animals in the video for "Roar". Merrilee Burke from PETA stated: "Animals used for entertainment endure horrific cruelty and suffer from extreme confinement and violent training methods." Burke also declared that the animals involved in the music video were allegedly provided by a company who was criticized by US officials.[95] Perry responded by obtaining a letter from the American Humane Association, which had representatives present at the three-day shoot. It stated that "After reviewing the reports, we believe that the Guidelines for the Safe Use of Animals in Filmed Media were followed and that no animal was harmed in the making of this music video".[96]
