歌的故事

“水果姐”凯蒂·佩里(Katy Perry)暌违三年再推力作《崛起》,作为美国NBC电视台报道2016年里约奥运会的宣传单曲。水果姐表示,这首歌在她心中经过了多年的酝酿才终于面世。她说:“无论是在我们国家还是在世界范围内,只要团结起来,我们就能从恐惧中崛起。我想不到还有谁比带着实力和勇气聚集在里约奥运会上的运动员们更能激励我们团结起来,并下决心做最好的自己。我希望这首歌能鼓励大家治愈伤痛,团结起来,一同崛起。”

我知道,我知道

我不会留下商量的余地

我会抗争,我会抗争

我会蜕变

当烈焰再次蔓延到我的脚边

*秃鹫全都在头顶盘旋

他们喃喃着“已经太迟了”

但我仍会崛起

毋庸置疑,这绝非偶然

你以为我完蛋了,妄……
