Katy Perry Drops Dramatic Teaser For 'Rise' (VIDEO)
July 22, 2016
Katy Perry teased the music video for her new single, "Rise," on Friday afternoon (July 22), a week after the 2016 Olympic theme song hit the blogosphere.
In the 26-second teaser, Katy is seen walking on a desert mountainscape with a pink parachute dragging behind her. It ends with the pop star struggling to make her way to the top of a lake to gasp for air. In a press release, the singer said that she's been trying to craft this song for some years now and is happy to release the tune at a time when the world needs unity more than ever.
"This is a song that’s been brewing inside me for years, that has finally come to the surface. I was inspired to finish it now, rather than save it for my next album, because now more than ever, there is a need for our world to unite," she said.
Stay tuned for the full version of "Rise."
