“Roar” is a song by American singer Katy Perry for her fourth studio album, Prism (2013). It was released as the lead single from the record on August 10, 2013. Perry co-wrote the song with Bonnie McKee and its producers Dr. Luke, Max Martin, and Cirkut. It is a pop song containing elements of arena rock and lyrics centering on standing up for oneself and self-empowerment.

Some critics praised the track’s production while others felt that its lyrics contained “clichés”. The song was a commercial success, becoming Perry’s eighth non-consecutive number one song on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and also topping charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. It also reached the top five in most international charts, including France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Switzerland.

To promote the song, Perry performed under the Brooklyn Bridge at the closing ceremony of the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, on The X Factor Australia, at the Sydney Opera House in late October 2013, and on the German TV show Schlag den Raab. Grady Hall and Mark Kudsi directed the song’s music video, which features Perry trying to adapt to the jungle where she survived a plane crash, and taming a tiger. It garnered generally mixed reviews from music critics. “Roar” was nominated for Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. The song topped the charts in 14 countries and, by the end of 2013, sold 9.9 million units (combined sales and track-equivalent streams) globally according to the IFPI. “Roar” has sold 6.4 million copies in the US, over 1 million in the UK.

Musically, “Roar” is a pop song that features elements of arena rock.Throughout the song, Perry “flexes diva-like vocals”, singing the lyric “Hey!” several times in a way resemblant of The Lumineers.The song’s instrumentation is composed of “pounding” pianos and “booming” bass drums.According to the sheet music published by Alfred Publishing Co., Inc. on Musicnotes.com, “Roar” is composed in the key of B♭ major and set in a 4
4 time signature at a moderate tempo of 90 beats per minute. Perry’s vocal range spawns from the low note B♭3 to the high note E♭5, while the music follows the chord progression of B♭–Cm–Gm–E♭.[8] The song shares the theme of empowerment with Perry’s single “Firework”. Perry described the track as a song speaking about standing up for oneself.

Perry announced “Roar” would be the first single from Prism with the release of a video teaser featuring the singer burning a blue wig.[12] More video teasers were released onto YouTube, that showed Perry at a funeral with a coffin decorated with the singer’s famous pink and white pinwheels dress,[13] and entering a recording booth while dressed with a “throwback” jacket featured in the single’s cover art,[14] which was revealed on August 8, 2013.[14] It features a tiger print border around Perry, who wears a blue Japanese silk sukajan jacket, with the image of a tiger printed on its back.[15] On the same day of the song’s digital release, a lyric video for it, produced by Joe Humpay, Aya Tanimura, Tim Zimmer, and Tuan Le, was released onto YouTube. It primarily shows Perry doing daily activities such as eating breakfast, going to the bathroom, and taking a bath, while texting the lyrics of “Roar” to friends. Some words are substituted with various Emoji characters.[16][17] It was target of plagiarism accusations by music producer Dillon Francis, who felt it copied the concept of instant messaging from his video entitled “Messages”.[18]
