《Roar》是凯蒂·佩里写给自己的歌曲,她对此表示自己是一个讨厌把事情都憋在心里的人,不能一吐为快的行为会让她很恼火。从上一张专辑发行后,凯蒂·佩里尝试了很多治愈自己的方法,而这首歌曲就是她为了治疗情伤而创作的 。在单封上,凯蒂·佩里没有沿用自己第二张专辑中的蓝色假发造型。凯蒂·佩里表示,有时候改变很困难,但是进化和改变对于一个艺术家来说是非常重要的。她认为自己需要一个即不会很卡通、也不会很漫画的新形象,而这个形象更多的是她自己。
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
我曾屏住呼吸保持缄默
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
生怕惹事生非,把许多事情都搞砸
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
所以我只好安分的坐着,虚心接受你的意见,
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
此外我想,我似乎忘了我还有另一个选择
I let you push me past the breaking point
却让你堆翻了我所有的理论
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
我没有改变,我爱上了这一切
You held me down, but I got up
你的反对声浪,却让我越挫越勇
Already brushing off the dust
挥别昨日的阴霾
You hear my voice, your hear that sound
听听我的声音,听听那个声音
Like thunder, gonna shake your ground
就像隆隆雷声震撼着大地
You held me down, but I got up
你的反对声浪,却让我越挫越勇
Get ready cause I've had enough
我虽已做好准备,却又受够了你
I see it all, I see it now
现在的我,看清一切
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
我拥有如老虎般锐利着双眼,如同斗士,踩着如烈火般的优雅舞步
Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me ROAR
我是天生的王者,而你只能听见我那霸气的虎啸声
Louder, louder than a lion
比狮子更加的响亮
Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me ROAR

Now I'm floating like a butterfly
现在我像只蝴蝶般翩然飞舞
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
却像只蜜蜂激烈的争取所有
I went from zero, to my own hero
我从起始之点开始,做属于自己的英雄
You held me down, but I got up
你的反对声浪,却让我越挫越勇
Already brushing off the dust
挥别昨日的阴霾
You hear my voice, your hear that sound
听听我的声音,听听那个声音
Like thunder, gonna shake your ground
就像隆隆雷声震撼着大地
You held me down, but I got up
你的反对声浪,却让我越挫越勇
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
