Katy Perry to Release New Single ‘Roar’ a Week Early in The UK
August 30, 2013
Katy Perry’s new single “Roar” will now be available to purchase this weekend – a week earlier than originally planned.
The “Firework” singer had planned to release the track on September 8 in the UK despite it already being available in most other countries.
However, the pop singer took to Twitter to tell her fans “ATTN UK! I’m letting #ROAR out a week early. Go here to pre-order now, & you get the song THIS SUNDAY, September 1!”

Perry performed “Roar” live for the first time at the VMA Awards in Brooklyn last Sunday night. She wore a tiger-print tank-top and a pair of flame-embossed shorts that recalled Guy Fieri.
Perry told On Air with Ryan Seacrest that “Roar” is about “speaking up for yourself. There was a time in my life where I didn’t stand for anything so I fell for everything so finally I have the strength to rise above and roar.”
“Roar” is the first track off of her upcoming fourth album “Prism”, which is set to be released on October 22.
