On The Record: Katy Perry Discusses Writing "Roar"—"It's a song about standing up for yourself"

Katy Perry was ready to rumble when she released her new single, "Roar," but her battle wasn't against any other artists, it was against her toughest opponent, herself.



"I started the record in November, but things were really flowing by the spring and it's a song about standing up for yourself," Perry told MTV News. "Who can be the biggest bully in the equation is yourself and can get in your way and it's a song about speaking up for yourself and having the strength."
