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 try to avoid posting non Wicked content as I know y’all follow me for a reason
But, I strongly encourage everyone to give Katy Perry’s new single “Bandaids” a chance
The lyrics, production, visuals, vocals. Insane. She’s never been more back.
