Katy Perry Goes Marie Antoinette In 'Hey Hey Hey' Video
The 'Bon Appétit' singer drops another high-concept video for the latest 'Witness' single...
Katy Perry is back with another crazy new video to continue the Witness era.
The superstar has chosen 'Hey Hey Hey' to be the fourth single from her fourth studio album and it's another expectedly elaborate visual filled with humour and 18th century costumes.
Channeling Marie Antoinette, Katy is almost unrecognisable for most of the video, which also sees her act as Joan Of Arc, telling her Antoinette self to 'Wake The Hell Up', literally.
A babydoll with a briefcase, yeah
A hot little hurricane
'Cause I'm feminine and soft, but I'm still a boss, yeah
Red lipstick but still so raw, yeah
Marilyn Monroe in a monster truck
'Cause I can be zen, and I can be the storm, yeah
Smell like a rose, and I pierce like a thorn, yeah
Karate chopping the clichés and norms all in a dress
Hey, hey, hey
You think that I'm a little ba-a-by
You think that I am fragile like a Fabergé
You think that I am cracking, but you can't break me
No-o-o-o-oh, no way
No-o-o-o-oh, no way
No-o-o-o-oh, no way
You think that I am cracking, but you can't break me
(Br-br-break me)
Yeah, I bounce back like a pro 'cause I'm so resilient
LOL at your limits
Keep your penny thoughts, I'm making a mint
'Cause I can be zen, and I can be the storm, yeah
Smell like a rose, and I pierce like a thorn, yeah
Karate chopping the clichés and norms all in a dress
Hey, hey, hey
You think that I'm a little ba-a-by
You think that I am fragile like a Fabergé
You think that I am cracking, but you can't break me
No-o-o-o-oh, no way
No-o-o-o-oh, no way
No-o-o-o-oh, no way
You think that I am cracking, but you can't break me
(Br-br-break me)
I ain't got no strings (No strings, no strings)
I'm no one's little puppet
Got my own cha ching in my chubby little wallet
And secretly you love it
(You fucking love it)
And secretly you love it
Hey, hey, hey
You think that I'm a little ba-a-by
You think that I am fragile like a Fabergé
You think that I am cracking, but you can't break me
No-o-o-o-oh
Hey, hey, hey
You think that I'm a little baby
You think that I am fragile like a Fabergé
You think that I am cracking, but you can't break me
No-o-o-o-oh, no way (No)
No-o-o-o-oh, no way (No way)
No-o-o-o-oh, no way (Uh-uh)
You think that I am cracking, but you can't break me
(Br-br-break me)
While 'Hey Hey Hey' is sonically upbeat, the 'Chained To The Rhythm' singer's visual treatment brings the lyrics to life, highlighting its themes of resilience with a fitting storyline.
Despite the serious undertones of defiance, the video is jam-packed with Katy's goofy humour throughout and doesn't take itself too seriously at all. Rather the opposite!
She has always delivered memorable, high-concept (not to mention high-budget) music videos in her career but the Witness era has taken her visuals to the next level, and this is no different.
With 'Déjà Vu', 'Witness' and 'Roulette' still to be given the single treatment, we can see the Witness campaign continuing right up until the end of 2018.
Katy is set to bring Witness: The Tour to the UK in June, playing 8 shows including two nights at London's iconic O2 Arena.
