On October 8, Katy Perry posted a lyric video for the song using stills from the video shoot. On October 15, Perry posted a second teaser on her Facebook. It was presented in the anamorphic widescreen 2.
The video was directed by Dave Meyers. The video begins with Perry gazing down at the city from a balcony. Other scenes show two parents quarreling with their son comforting their crying daughter, an overweight, shy girl observing a pool party and a cancer patient in a hospital room. Fireworks begin sparkling from Perry's chest and they shoot out into the city. Later, two teenage boys are shown sharing a kiss in the middle of a party and fireworks ignite.
Fireworks begin igniting from the chests of the shy girl who is now enjoying the pool party , fireworks ignite from the boy's chest and he turns and pushes his father away who was hurting his mother The cancer patient sees a woman having a baby, fireworks ignite on the woman's stomach and the cancer patient run's out of the hospital.
Perry dances along with other people in a square, and fireworks burst in the sky. Then a magician was walking home then three teenagers were going to rob him then birds flew out of him then he showed them a trick and the fireworks burst out from her chest. On November 5, , The British media and entertainment website, Digital Spy , reported that the video had been partially censored for British Television; the kiss between the two men, despite only being about a second long and the video being used as part of the 'It Gets Better' campaign, was said to be pixelated out.
I, for example, think of downtown Indianapolis when I see this panning view. I am from Indianapolis, so whenever I see a city that seems somewhat metropolitan in nature, Indianapolis is the first place that comes to mind.
Someone who is from Chicago, on the other hand, might see this panning view and be reminded of downtown Chicago. If the camera panned over the Statue of Liberty during the introduction of the music video, I would immediately feel disconnected as a viewer. The fact that the director of the music video refrained from framing the context of the video in terms of location was a deliberate and wise choice, as it immediately allowed the location of the video to apply to many populations and demographics.
After this panning view of the city, Katy Perry enters the screen for the first time. She is on top of a building, and she is dressed in an ornately-decorated white dress. Viewers notice that her dress is loose-fitting, and the skirt portion does look somewhat like a plastic bag. The director of the music video is making a rhetorical choice by having Katy Perry dress this way. Almost universally, plastic bags are used to symbolize garbage. With that in mind, it makes sense that Katy Perry would ask her audience if they have ever felt like plastic bags.
Her question is closed-ended: you either have or have not felt like a plastic bag garbage before, and even if you have not, some of your fellow audience members certainly have. The motif of floating plastic bags was made famous by the R-rated, film American Beauty.
All the characters in American Beauty are unhappy with themselves as people, which in turn makes them unhappy with their lives. Their lack of self-confidence causes them to feel like garbage, so it makes sense that a plastic bag, which symbolizes garbage, would float across the screen with frequency throughout the film. Within the first minute of the music video, viewers meet the first nameless character: a young boy, comforting his sister while his parents are fighting in the other room.
Because there is no dialogue to accompany the fighting we, as viewers, do not know what the parents are fighting about. In reality, we are not even certain they are fighting — the director of the music video merely frames the scene like a fight through the use of visual rhetoric. The parents are gesturing at one another, implying that they are seconds away from a physical altercation. The young girl covers her ears, implying that the parents are shouting.
As Americans, and even as human beings, we are familiar with what a fight looks and sounds like: there is generally a significant amount of gesturing, and the conflicting parties usually raise their voices at one another. We know this because we have been witness to and participated in fights ourselves, so we expect a fight to look and sound a certain way. Hence, the powerful meaning to this song is one reason why this is a great song.
This lovely song means that if you feel unwanted,unappreciated invisible you shouldn't feel sad instead show the world what you got cause we all are like fireworks we're full of light and we should make those who saddened us surprised by showing off you're power of brightness and light to them like a firework.
This song shows how related we are to a firework when we stand up to those who are making you sad. I think this song is about living your life like there's no tomorrow, even if you feel like giving up.
She's saying there's always a way to make your way back up, even if you've sunk to the bottom. This song is beautifully choreographed. She's trying to tell the listener to be the person that they are and not someone who's fake! It conveys a great message.
You shouldn't feel like waste!! And never think like that. You are unique! And just the way you are. I was going through a hard time thinking I was worth nothing but this song helped lift me out and now it feels like my life is meaning full again. Also, have a great day today!!! It is a dance-pop self-empowerment anthem with inspirational lyrics, and Perry felt it was an important song for her on the record.
The song is actually about her wanting to have her body on a firework when she dies and blasted over a ocean. I think this song is very important to my life. I think it means that even if your life has been hell and you feel unwanted that you are better than you think. Let yourself shine Did anyone notice that this song is at the end of Wreck-It Ralph? Do you ever feel like a plastic bag Drifting through the wind wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper-thin Like a house of cards one blow from caving in? Do you ever feel already buried deep? Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing Do you know that there's still a chance for you? You just gotta ignite the light And let it shine Just own the night Like the Fourth of July 'Cause baby, you're a firework C'mon, show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah" As you shoot across the sky-y-y Baby, you're a firework C'mon, let your colors burst Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah" You're gonna leave them all in awe, awe, awe.
Perry also discussed Brand 's book recommendation in a video that she shared on her YouTube page , recalling, "I was introduced to this guy by my boyfriend, who is a big fan, and he was just telling me about this book and how in the book, there's a paragraph" that stood out to her. When she read it, she thought to herself, "that's who I feel like I am, who I want to be, who I want to surround myself with It's just all about you igniting the spark inside of you and making people go 'aww' every moment of your life like doing it with purpose every step" via YouTube.
She said that she's "really proud of the song," in addition to admitting that it "would probably be my favorite on the record.
