It's my fav tbh! It's so catchy
I agree 100%, I still listen to this song, its on my playlist. Sad that most people can't hear the message in this song. Cheers to a better year, hopefully.
the house that got away
Todor Filipov 😂😂😂😂😂
Todor Filipov up up and away
3:51, haha
lmao
great song. x....3.51 lololol
why didn’t she keep this hairstyle it literally is perfect on her
Apparently her hair was damaged so she had to cut it.
Prince Diamond Personally, I feel that the dark hair was best suited for her. I know that she's a natural blonde, but the blonde hair just makes her look like any and every other blonde in existence whereas the dark hair contrasted with her blue eyes was striking and set her apart.
@@anthonycoca2202 agreed.. The black hair makes her look more exotic, but I prefer this hair to the Ellen..
Prince Diamond she cut it because she wanted to feel like her true authentic self she was having an identity crisis pretty much
Actually she looks like this but in her natural hair
My favorite Katy Perry song ever. I don't think people really HEAR what she's singing about
My favourite too 💞 a cleverly written pop song for sure
They do now....maybe😔
so you say it’s Sia who wrote this song
You are very correct - but it’s okay the people will always win in the end
@@morganp4433 Co-wrote*
Everyone focusing on the politics. Can we all take a moment to realise how much Katy's live vocals have improved! She sounds amazing
exe8001 Maybe I think the way a country is run and our generation are more important than live vocals. . .
exe8001 ikr!
exe8001 i dont really think the song is politics specifically. its more about society
exe8001 or the house that fell😂😂😂😂
@short
She is shaky, that's true. It seems she can never stabilize her voice for performances, I guess she's just nervous. She's not off, though. A bit pitchy but it's because she doesn't have the control in live performances.
3:49 Just going to try and ignore the fact that one of the houses *fell of stage!!!* 😂 🤣(Far right)
It'sBilly u mean right
It'sBilly xD ikr
It's the same person who was the shark
^Yes, Left shark is back
It'sBilly yah ikr i saw it
Till this day you can’t say Katy is not creative , everything she does she takes it a step further
That's why her and Gaga are considered worlds greatest female musicians. Their creativity keeps blowing me away
katy perry keeps taking off and putting it on her jacket lmao. she should sing hot n cold lol
vagent nica 😂
vagent nica she was likely having hot flashes 🤒
vagent nica ha ha ha right
vagent nica C'mon She's feelin' it & She looks sexy though🔥🔥
Honestly, I can't judge, because that was basically me today at work. Too hot for a jacket, too cold for my t-shirt. I feel her pain lol
katy perry keeps taking off and putting it on her jacket lmao. she should sing hot n cold lol
patrik benes Omg that killed me XD
patrik benes That's a good one.
LOL She should have. Overall, she gets everyone to smile in the end. ;)
patrik benes Imao
Ha, I noticed that too. And that was funny.
Katy Perry looked so different ever since she dyed her hair,she looks younger and cuter
It's a wig :)
Gamer Nour true
lola ataboeva but her hair is blond; it's no longer black
Cat She is a natural blonde
+vikas vohra In the "katie puts a fan through a lie detector" video, she reveals the blond hair is a wig.
She tried to warn us back in 2017 that we were “chained to the rhythm” and we didn’t listen...and now we’re paying the consequences 😓
Coronavirus

Couldn't Agree More! Look What's Happening Now!

Well, I wouldn't say she "never" disappoints but this performance was good, and so is the song.
😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙Katy Perry
lol you're stupid and young.... Let's be honest here- She has gotten better as a live vocalist AND I've always liked her songs BUT to call this GOLD is as stupid as Trumps dumbest remarks. You my friend are a child as you clearly cannot hear how shaky her voice is and how she goes flat and sharp on certain notes.Now remember that i'm not hating here but stating fact that you obviously cannot hear. Lastly....you said she NEVER disappoints ??????? WTF!!! I honestly feel to send you every possible link of her worst performances right now....YOU ARE INDEED STUPID. Sorry for being harsh

Nothing. I know one of the people that did it. They recruit people from one of the performing arts universities in London so they don't have to pay them.

I think she's really sad because she campaigned a lot for Hillary Clinton, but people voted for the worst choice instead.

I didn't know that the skeletons were Donald Trump and the British Prime Minister Theresa May. I just figured it out and... Katy Perry, you're a genius, I love you more than before ♥
SweetLena clever!!!
SweetLena i thought it was Trump ans Hillary but i guess you're right
Nice catch, some people also saw the house fall ..... me, frustrated for not showing Katy enough. love the dancing.
I thought so too.
Theresa may isn't guilty of any wrong doing, nor has she anything to do with American politics. If you've seen the original music video and payed attention to the lyrics, you would decipher that the skeletons are most likely the public, as they both move very similarly. This explanation would fit with the song.
The house falling off the stage is iconic.
James Dean yaaaaas xD
James Dean first was left shark, now is falling house. XD
what time?
Pofaime YT 3:50 right hand stage
3:50 on the right hand side x
This song is amazing because on the surface it seems like upbeat, hype, happy dance song but if you look in tge lyrics it gets really dark. I think that goes really well with the message. I also love Skip on the track he just fits in so well with his own message and style.
I'm loving this new era already.
The era that is marking the end of the world as we know it?
It's Dark as hell, I don't think you should love it. You need to understand the meaning of this song and what message it bring out
that's why i love it tho lol
y'all need to chill I'm talking about the new music, the new album and the new sound.
+ruleesmute that's exactly the point of the song. We are so lost to the new music the new album and the new sound, but that isn't what we should be worried about. S*&^ about to hit the fan and we are completely oblivious to it. We are just dancing to the rhythm and completely missing the meaning of the song.
"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
Aren't you lonely
Up there in utopia
Where nothing will ever be enough?"
"Turn it up, it's your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
Come on, turn it up, keep it on repeat
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie
Yeah, we think we're free
Drink, this one is on me
We're all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm"
Edward Snowden came out a few years ago showing how to government monitors Americans more than any other country. They can activate a phone, listen to you through your tv. Samsung has it in their product information for their smart tvs. They sell what you say to third parties for "advertising" Watch the movie on Snowden. It makes no sense at to why they would be monitoring its own citizens more than any other country.
They give us this "music" but it is all under their control and usually has some deeper meaning. It is all a really long story, but if you really listen many other celebrities are warning us and then they are blacklisted and called crazy.
We have to figure out what is going on and learn about what is going to happen in the near future. There will be a day when you won't be able to search just anything on the internet (Obama gave up America's control of the internet in October of last year) and the propaganda reprogramming television will tell you everything they want you to know. Find out now before it is too late and you are completely deceived when that time comes...
who was tryin to look for the falling house
Farrah Gascoine yes she knows
Bella Suarez me 😂

she looks so sad.. but she did an amazing performance ofc
BASIL ikr. Her expression throughout the performance tho
BASIL bc she singing about the truth of society and it's pretty sad 😂
why??? did something happened???
M Zaman it's the meaning of the song that makes her sad because its the truth n its really sad
daylight can someone tell the meaning please I didn't get
Now I understand why those skeletons looked like Hilary and Trump. Now I understand the reason of all those WHITE houses. Now I understand why Katy collaborate with black singers... NOW I KNOW. #ImsorryKatyPerry
The red skeleton was symbolising Britain’s (then) conservative pm Theresa May. She loved Hillary
Now, happen right now
this song is deeper than we believe.. has so many meanings about the future
Why would she support Hillary who’s part of all of it though?
Yep definitely Theresa May and Donald Trump
This is literally one of the best performances I've ever seen!

Does anyone else think the house was meant to fall on purpose as they are metaphorically suggesting the White House will fall????
yes aha
Norwich city FC fan tv That is actually incredibly deep😂🤔. I wouldn't say that's the reason but Kudos man for thinking like that🤣👊
Norwich city FC fan tv Reading in too deep mate
I think it was an accident. if they wanted to send that message they would've made one of the houses closer to the camera at the front fall.
Norwich city FC fan tv or it just stumbled and fell
She already told us,she warned us but we ignore it ❤️
Was just reading these comments, and this witch Katy's right. You virtually all are zombies who don't even realized how hard core she's mocking the public with this song right to their faces. I mean c'mon, skeleton dancers in the context of this song too?! What do you think that means? It means you're all spiritually dead already(or on the road to death) because you're chained to this system of slavery that is modern society; obsessed with money, status, vanity, lust, revelry, materialism, and all matters of empty distractions; completely unawares of this because you're too distracted by shiny things like this here song rhythm. Point being: the (societal) rhythm is facilitating all of your spiritual deaths, and Katy, who is in part a purveyor of that rhythm, is mocking us for it.
A. Sinner so she is trying to slap reality into us
A. Sinner Right
She's not mocking the public for their selfish materialism. She's mocking Republicans because her precious BFF Hillary didn't get elected. And your skeletons dancing symbolizing our spiritual death? Nah, it's just President Trump and Prime Minister Theresa May.
A. Sinner I'm with you brother. Katy is a slave to the Big Brother. This song, including herself, is full blown satanic.
TheLonelyRunescape What's your point ?
I am in love with how political and outgoing Katy Perry has become. This is a very important and artistic way to open people's minds and address real world problems.
Kaya Lloyd I like that too, but you can't address the real issues and at the same time give your full public support to corrupt and hawkish politicians (as she did with Clinton and Obama). I hope she wakes up to see that really all of them are crooks.
Bongkrek Acid some more so than others though. I would think trump and may are more dangerous than Clinton and Obama ever were
I'd argue the literal opposite (see: everyone else in his cabinet, and also his every action as President lol), having looked at the history, intentions, and capabilities of all these politicians. However, it's important that we have these conversations, which is what I think the music is hinting at
Kaya Lloyd 🙏🏼
The problem is she is a terrible person to do that kind of thing.
omg did anyone realize that one of the houses (on the right side) fell off at 3:51
Annisa Nur El yeh...I feel bad 4 whoever it was
It took me like 5 times to see it fall of the stage and after i saw it i really felt bad
Annisa Nur El yeah its all over the news and media
Was there a big bad wolf involved? I did see a depiction of Donald trump in there somewhere.

Well, at least it occurred toward the very end of the performance.
She sounded so good at the beginning, I like the song and I liked her fresh outfit. The backtrack was too loud though. At the Grammys she also performed with sneakers, that's cool too.
I know the meaning all about the song. Watch the music video, is mind boggling.
newbiechov what's is it about
+Maria Lee Go to the video. I'm sure the people in the comments vastly explain it plenty of times. But it's about politics and America's government and lifestyle.
Maria Lee It's so weird, but the message is so clear..
"Chained to the Rhythm" by Katy Perry (featuring Skip Marley) is a social commentary on modern society's detachment and complacency. The lyrics highlight how people live comfortably within their "bubble," often oblivious to broader societal issues and injustices. The song criticizes how individuals often distract themselves with superficial pleasures and entertainment ("dance, dance, dance to the distortion"), becoming "wasted zombies" who think they are free but are actually "chained to the rhythm" of societal norms and consumerism.
Key themes include:
Complacency and Comfort: The recurring imagery of living in a bubble signifies a life of convenience and denial. The "white-picket fence" symbolizes the idealized, comfortable suburban life that shelters people from the world's harsh realities.
Illusion of Freedom: Despite the feeling of liberation ("Yeah, we think we're free"), the lyrics suggest that people are trapped in a cycle of distractions and consumerism, which blinds them to real issues ("chained to the rhythm").
False Utopia: The song questions the satisfaction derived from this comfortable yet superficial existence ("Where nothing will ever be enough? Happily numb"), implying that material comfort does not equate to true happiness or fulfillment.
Awakening and Resistance: Skip Marley’s verse introduces a call to action, urging people to break down barriers and seek the truth beyond the "feeble" narratives fed to them. The imagery of lions waking up suggests a rising awareness and resistance against oppression and manipulation.
The song's upbeat, catchy tune contrasts with its critical message, reflecting how easily people can be lulled into ignoring deeper issues through constant entertainment. Overall, "Chained to the Rhythm" challenges listeners to look beyond their immediate comforts and engage more critically with the world around them.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This song is telling us how blind we all are and oblivious to the actual truth, the government control, the shackles we wear everyday, we aren't as free as we think, most are blind to the actual truth!

Isabella Kellum its sad ain't it. have you seen the music video though? its right in your face and people are still clueless. that's brainwashing at its best.
i have seen both and im still clueless.
I think she's shaking her head at the house who fell
OMG Trump and May's skeletons
Ok right. From the first time I heard it I got what these lyrics meant and I agreed. When I saw this, I was looking at the comments and they were saying like the skeletons are trump and may, then I looked up saw the skeletons and was like omfg they are literally the same clothes they wore when the met. I now have chills and even more respect for Katy for putting this out there. I'm still having a heart attack, don't mind me.
Omfg I'm literally crying right now I can't hold the chills 😂😂😂😂
CrazyCake OMG YOU'RE RIGHT

This is one of the best social commentary songs of our time. Max Martin and Katy Perry have my eternal respect for this magnificent piece of music
