Katy Perry’s “Wide Awake” gets the single treatment

Bitch, please! You didn’t actually think that Katy Perry was done milking Teenage Dream just yet, did you?

The Adidas spokeswoman is set to follow-up her chart-topping smash “Part of Me” with a new single, the dreamy “Wide Awake”. The luscious pop ballad was helmed by the unbeatable team of Dr. Luke, Max Martin, and Bonnie McKee, and is the only completely new song that Perry bothered to record for her recently-released repackaged album, The Complete Confection.

A 3D music video for the single was shot over three days earlier this month, which will be used to tie-in with Katy’s upcoming Pepsi-sponsored 3D documentary-concert film, Katy Perry: Part of Me.

I shaded “Part of Me” at first, but then caved in and got obsessed with it, so I’m not even going to bother resisting “Wide Awake”. I already love it, and just like all Katy Perry songs, it has a shitload of hit potential. But seriously, can we please get a fitting music video for this song? I’m not interested in seeing Katy with a rainbow Mohawk doing an Irish jig on a flying didgeridoo while inserting liquorice and other assorted sweets into her vagina. Just give us something that matches the damn song.

    For me personally.. I think she should start off in a Candyland.. and by the end of the song have stripped of all the candy and wearing all black. This is symbolism for the departure of Candy Coated Katy to Rated R Style Perry!

    I agree. I’m hoping for a video as high-budget as ‘E.T.’ – that music video was perfect (minus Kanye West, of course).

    This track has absolutely no relation to the rest of the album, lol.

    I actually did think Part of Me was the last single. But Wide Awake has potentials too so yeah ok for this one.

    Don’t tell me she’s going to release Dressing Up too.

    Well the Part of Me video pretty much matched the lyrics to the song so

  • Nicky

    I actually kind of like this song also. Sigh :(

  • TIo

    I am not sure if Wide Awake would be the last single from Teenage Dream era. She could remix Dressin Up just like her previous single lol
    I do hope she takes at least a year off before churning out new songs again. And it better be pop rock songs like her debut.

  • YAAAAS HONEY!!!

    Fuck this cunt and her propaganda music videos. 

  • Jhemyap

     are you serious? wide awake is about finally being “wide awake” from her “teenage dream”, it closes the era about her teenage dream because after all ,it’s just a dream and in this song, she finally realizes that her teenage dream is over, all the partying,sex,love,etc.

  • Steveroni

    I love this song so much!

    I’m WIDE AWAKE

  • Popblock

    I like it better than “Part Of Me”.. might as well release another single before all of her ‘hard earned’ momentum comes to an end.

    It played 150 times since your intro Prop. I’ve been secretly listening to it because honestly, I’m no Katy Purr fan and trust me when I say I completely agree to what Linda Perry said about Teenage Dream. I just need a some popcorn pop tunes to chew on until the return of a slimmer CHRISTINA AGUILERA. 
    Singing: ” Make the world moveeeeeeee……. like jagger..”

    Sorry but this just seems so desperate now… It’s like she thinks she can’t make another successful album so she’s gonna milk “Teenage Dream” until the end of time or until it’s 50 million re releases have outsold “21″ lmao…

    I’m a girl :( …….
    and I did. I tried to find a good quality Youtube video to download off of as well but no luck. Wahhh!! 

  • Dita

    It has gotten to the point where whenever I see a picture of her I feel violent. Like I want to strangle her, bring her back to life, then strangle her again.

  • http://twitter.com/themusicprophet The Music Prophet

    Lol …. I love that she’s still gonna push this era. It seriously is worse than GaGa’s ‘Born This Way’ fiasco at this point … but you know something? Katy’s lyrics are so simple and dumb that it actually works for me. No anti-religious slurs in this one or in ‘Part of Me’ … no over-the-top ridiculous music video (please God don’t let her change that) …. I agree with the proph on this one, and I actually don’t mind this song ….
    Go ahead little monsters …. kill me now! I probably shouldn’t even bother saying that I did actually enjoy ‘Born This Way’ before it’s overexposure .. cuz Y’all are gonna attack no matter what lmao …. 

  • http://twitter.com/themusicprophet The Music Prophet

    I may agree with you that Katy easily trumps Rihanna, and though not so much in terms of talent, I do prefer her to GaGa’s ridiculous Born this Way era ….. BUT … dude your comment is riddled with racist and homophobic hate ….. Get over yourself.

  • Newground990

    Oh shutup Madonna stan (88% drop second week) HAHAHAHA

  • Dumbcunt

    lol fuck off you pressed ass bitch i see you inevery pop blog

  • Olsen Larone

    OMG, Katy fans has no vocabs to use other than silly and limited words. If you have something smart to counter my arguement, BY THE FUCK ALL MEANS

  • http://twitter.com/ThatBoyLuke LUKE

    Why you laughing when Madonna’s record for biggest drop was taken from Gaga’s BTW which only dropped like 2% less and unlike Gaga Madonna didn’t have to sell MDNA for 99 cents lmao…
    Plus we all know MDNA tour will wipe the floor with the BTW Ball lmao

  • http://twitter.com/ThatBoyLuke LUKE

    That’s funny coz the only music blogs i comment on are this, the lava lizard and random J…

  • http://twitter.com/manolobarrios manolo barrios
