About the Composer: Katy Perry

Katy Perry emerged as a defining pop voice of the late 2000s, crafting anthemic pop-rock songs that became cultural touchstones for her generation. Her work with producers like Max Martin and Dr. Luke helped shape the sonic landscape of contemporary pop, blending infectious hooks with confident, rebellious attitudes that resonated across radio formats.

Why we love this

The arrangement captures what made this song a genuine radio phenomenon: a driving groove, clear melodic hooks, and an attitude that feels current without being trendy. Grade 2 scoring means your ensemble can actually perform this with confidence, letting students feel the energy of a real hit rather than a watered-down imitation.

What to expect

Bright, confident, and driven by rhythm. The piece pulses with the kind of infectious energy that makes students want to lean into their parts, supported by a contemporary harmonic language and a vocal melody that lodges itself in memory.

Who it's for

Concert bands looking to program something current that connects with today's students without compromising musical engagement. Ensembles at the Grade 2 level who want to explore pop arrangement writing and experience how modern production techniques translate to the concert band sound.

How to get the most out of it

Lock the eighth-note groove in your rhythm section early. This song lives or dies by pocket feel, so get the kick drum and bass line locked in before layering melody.
Balance the lead vocal line against the supporting harmonies. Too many instruments fighting for attention muddies the hook that made this song a hit.
Push the tempo slightly forward during the chorus sections. The recorded track has a sense of momentum that lifts the energy; resist the urge to drag it down.
Emphasize the rhythmic hits in the percussion and horns that punctuate the form. These stabs give the arrangement its contemporary edge.

How to use it

Pair this with other pop or contemporary selections to program a concert that reflects what your students actually listen to. The Grade 2 accessibility makes it ideal for mid-year programming when you want something current without the rehearsal demand of more complex repertoire.
