Kay Perry’s new single, “Roar” has officially gotten the leak treatment after making its way onto the internet yesterday. The song, which will be featured on the pop star’s upcoming new album, Prism, was originally scheduled to premiere on Monday, August 12, but thanks to the internet and technology now-a-days, it seems that it was inevitable.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been hearing a lot from Perry’s camp after being away from the limelight to work on the new album. First it was her promotional golden 18-wheeler making its way from town to town promoting the album then it was the cryptic videos showing the singer putting her Candy-fornia persona to rest as well as a snippet of this song. We also can’t forget the news that she will be featured on a track on boyfriend, John Mayer’s new album.
All in all, it looks like Ms. Katy might be coming back in full force.
Check out the audio for “Roar” below as well as the lyrics to the song.

“ROAR” LYRICS
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agree politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me passed the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down but I got up,
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down but i got up
Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, i see it now
I got the eye of the tiger the fire
Dancing through the fire, ’cause I am a champion
And you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion
And you’re gonna hear me roar
And you’re gonna hear me roar
Now I’m floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee i earned the stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down but I got up,
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down but I got up
Get ready ’cause i’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger the fire
Dancing through the fire, ‘cause i am a champion
And you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause i am a champion
And you’re gonna hear me roar
And you’re gonna hear me roar
And you’re gonna hear me roar
Roar roar roar roar roar
I got the eye of the tiger the fire
Dancing through the fire, ‘cause i am a champion
And you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause i am a champion
And you’re gonna hear me roar
And you’re gonna hear me roar
And you’re gonna hear me roar
