I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.
I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for.
My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.

i LOVE this song & video by Katy Perry
this is EXACTLY the fire that we wanted, as some who’s dragged her current music for so long. She finally didn’t disappoint.
this dark pop era is what I’ve always wanted to see from her.
THIS IS EREN APPROVED ✅
