You held me down, but I got up, get ready 'cause I've had enough. You hear my voice, you hear that sound, like thunder gonna shake the ground. PERRY: (Singing) You held me down, but I got up, already brushing off the dust. And so I was just looking for my voice again, and that came out as a roar. And I just kind of just listened to myself and I thought, you know what, I need to kind of find that inner strength again 'cause I had just been through a real, a little bit of a self-confidence shattering in my own personal life. PERRY: I was living in a little bit of fear. What were you thinking when you wrote it? Let me get you to talk about "Roar." This is a song that, I mean, it's become an anthem already just over the past couple of weeks for people really all over the world. Is there a corner of the world where they're not listening to this song right now? Katy Perry, "Roar," from her new album "Prism." And Katy Perry joins us on what happens to be her birthday. KATY PERRY: (Singing) I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire, 'cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar. I don't get to say this a lot on NPR: we're joined now by maybe the biggest pop star in the world.
