Trivia

 * This is the twelfth song by Katy Perry in the series after Hot n Cold, Firework, California Gurls, E.T., Teenage Dream, Part Of Me, I Kissed a Girl, Roar, Waking Up in Vegas, Dark Horse, and Birthday.
 * This song was leaked along with Same Old Love, Teacher and You're The One That I Want.undefined
