She wrote the song after ending her marriage to Russell Brand.

The song is a bouncy statement by Katy Perry of moving forward into the next stage of her life.

"It's a bit of a self-empowering type of song. I wrote it because I was sick of keeping all these feelings inside and not speaking up for myself, which caused a lot of resentment."

Bonnie McKee explains:

"I spent a lot of time in my life, believe it or not, taking orders. Even though it seems like I'm very strong-minded and hard-headed, I am a people pleaser, and I feel like that has gotten in my way in my life - I feel like I'm living for other people and fulfilling other people's destinies and wishes and just taking commands.

So she says,

It's nice when you have a feeling and you put it out there. It felt like literally roaring. I felt like I had something important that I needed to say, and it was a big f*** you to somebody.

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath

Scared to rock the boat and make a mess

我曾屏住呼吸保持沉默

生怕惹事生非，把许多事情都搞砸

So I sit quietly, agree politely

I guess that I forgot I had a choice

所以我只好安分的坐着，虚心接受你的意见，

我似乎忘了我还有另一个选择

I let you push me past the breaking point

I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

我让你推着我越过了爆发点

我没有主见，最后什么也没得到

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, you hear that sound

Like thunder gonna shake the ground

挥别阴霾，听听我的声音，就像隆隆雷声震撼着大地

It's the eye of the tiger

这就是猛虎的眼睛

it's the thrill of the fight

这正是战斗让人激动的地方

risin' up to the challenge of our rival

面对困境，我们却走向强大

希望在听这首歌的你，尤其刚好也因为经常不自觉讨好别人而委屈了自己的你，也能从中找到力量。
