On November 15th Katy Perry is set to return with her new single 'Firework'. The single is one of Katy's personal favourites from her new album 'Teenage Dream'. Just like its title, the sing fizzes and bursts, rising up to glorious string laden exploding chorus. 'Firework’ is the most important song for me on the record because I feel like this song can be adapted by so many different people in so many different situations in their lives,” said Katy Perry.
Katy Perry provided more than 250 winning fans with the once-in-a-lifetime chance to participate in her official music video for ‘Firework’. Traveling by bus, plane, car or train, the largest amount of fans to ever be a part of a music video gathered in Budapest at the end of September to share in this memorable opportunity.
Despite her singles, 'California Gurls’ and 'Teenage Dream' being released in June and August respectively, they still sit in the Top 10 of the UK Radio Airplay chart. All three singles come from her new album 'Teenage Dream' and has sold over 1.7 million globally. Whilst more than 10 million singles, tracks and videos have been sold worldwide. The album is the follow-up to Perry’s blockbuster debut ‘One Of The Boys’, which has sold five million copies worldwide.
Katy’s success has led her to become one of the most talked-about new artists of the past two years. Since exploding onto the scene in 2008 she has sold out her own 50-city world headlining tour plus hosted and performed – twice - at the MTVs European Music Awards where she also won Best New Act in 2008. As well as several Grammy nominations Katy won a Brit Award in 2009 for Best International Female.
