Firework (Single Cover)

Okay, first it’s whipped cream and now it’s fireworks exploding out of Katy’s chest!! What’s next?? =P Nevertheless, this track is one of my faves from the album and I thank the stars that this was chosen as the 3rd single instead of that uber annoying “Peacock“!!

The reason being that this song is rather uplifting on self/personal acceptance. Both the song (lyrics) and the video conveys a message across. Plus it’s done in the form of dance-pop, begging for clubs to play this track!! Filmed in Budapest, Hungary, it’s an exceptionally great video with much fanfare!

An interesting fact stated from Billboard.com is that Katy dedicated the video to the “It Gets Better” campaign, which rallies against harassment in the LGBT community, via her Twitter account. It’s a fitting message for “Firework,” considering as one of the video’s plotlines is a young gay man struggling to feel comfortable in his own skin. The video is reminiscent of Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful” video with its message.

Apologies on the delay of Katy’s album review. Would be up real soon!!! =D
