Katy Perry takes us to an amusement park called Oblivia in her music video for her newest single titled Chained to the Rhythm.
The colorful video however, is in stark contrast to the song’s danceable tune and lyrics that is riddled with irony. It contains lines such as, “Are we crazy?/Living our lives through a lens/Trapped in our white picket fence/Like ornaments/So comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble/So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble”
Watch the video below which has already garnered over 8.3M views as of this writing.
Chained to the Rhythm urges listeners to be critical thinkers by seeing beyond their own happy place and see the world—the situation—for what it truly is. While the theme is applicable to any real life situations and various other life issues, critics are calling Chained to the Rhythm a “cultural and politically-charged song.”
Perry said in an interview with Access Hollywood that Chained to the Rhythm is meant to “start conversations and pose a question in our mind.” She proceeded to encourage everyone to listen to each other (to family and otherwise), to consider both sides of an argument, because that is the only way for us to achieve unity.
Chained to the Rhythm is reportedly co-written by Sia. It features Skip Marley, Bob Marley’s grandson, and is currently No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot 100. With 108,000 downloads on its first week, it debuted at No. 3 on Digital Song Sales and No. 15 on Streaming Songs at 14.7 million.

Illuminati ass song. Listen to the lyrics carefully. I LOVE katy but even I can’t ignore the strong Illuminati slave to a higher evil power they can never escape from and attempts to recruit your mind ass overtones this song gives. Idk, makes me reel very spiritually unclean when i hear it which sucks bc it sounds so good,then again Lucifer was the angel of music when he was in heaven and the obvious symbolism in music be demonic af. Idk,I’m probably gonna get called paranoid but idk,i felt compelled to say this here and immediately felt this way when i first heard the song weeks ago.
Of course….Katy is a known Freemason. Washington DC is layed out in the shape of a cherry chapstick. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
Another piece of garbage. They push this crap on ignorant thinking people and eventually they think it sounds good, talentless illuminati
Ur just Jealous! 🙂
A call out to the “pretty people” who hold themselves above others. People who think they’re more special, more beautiful, better than everyone who isn’t just like “us”.
