I am completely SLAYED by ROAR. This stupid forum has been down for hours ALL DAY!!!

it's just amazing, from beginning to end. Much better than California Gurls for me. The verses are fire!!

I love you too

Words can't even express. My friend texted me at 6:30 telling me that it leaked, I was half asleep so I thought I was dreaming then I woke up at 10:30 and it was real and I lost it. At first I was like okay, not sure...2nd play, I was HOOKED....never have I loved a song so instantly.

Is it safe? Yes but like I said before, Katy is a pop star, a radio artist at that, of course she wasn't gonna pull a My December and sabotage her career briefly. I'm glad that this is kind of a different sound of what we're used to be it's 100% Katy at the same time and dear lawddd she sounds incredible

Ramcoro

Poor Katy V.!. He is missing all of this.

Ramcoro

Did anyone call Brave generic when it came out, or is a song only generic when Katy does it?

I STILL get goosebumps during that final, better than life itself, chorus. It's like the best thing to come to radio in FOREVER!!! I just can't get over it, and that's not even because i'm a stan. It just really is that good. Those verses tho, with the "Hoooo!" nestled in there. Really makes it pop. This is going to set records.

Corefield

You guys are right, the last chorus is everything. It's probably the best part of any song she's released.

I don't care if this "flops". I just love the song so much

but I really think this will be a smash, it's
perfectly crafted for today's radio.

SHE'S OFFICIALLY PERFORMING AT THE VMA'S.

Katy was rumored to be working with M83 and she posted about them on Twitter on multiple occasions like 1 year ago or so
I love them and I hope there's more of this on Prism

J03Y

it sounds like a decently successful hit that acts as the precursor to at least one or two following singles that are much more outstanding musically.

sGabe4

I love how Roar just makes me smile
it's simple... it's simply PERFECT

maisie

It's almost my most played song already

I LOVE IT

King Maxx

Roar is really amazing. I'm quite impressed. This Katy needs to stay here for awhile.

It's not what I was expecting. A very brave single choice from Katy.

There's little doubt that "Roar" will roar onto the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart this Wednesday (Aug. 14), when the new weekly chart is compiled. Even if the song hadn't gone on sale until Monday as planned, the track would have probably bowed high on the chart based solely off of airplay. (The Hot 100's airplay week runs from Wednesday through Tuesday of each week, while its sales week runs from Monday through Sunday.)

It's difficult to predict just how high the song will bow, considering that it will have a partial week's worth of sales fueling its arrival. Based on Perry's track history at radio and retail, "Roar" should storm into the upper reaches of the chart -- if not this week, then certainly next.

The last time Perry was previewing a new album with its lead single was in 2010, when "California Gurls" ushered in her "Teenage Dream" set. "California Gurls," featuring Snoop Dogg, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and shot to No. 1 in its fourth week. Its start was powered by first-week sales of 294,000 downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
