Perry unleashes his anger on “Watch It Burn,” declaring in the first verse, “For years I’ve been aiming high/All I’ve seen is light and love/But now I’m ‘shut up.'” The track is accompanied by a fiery new music video directed by Christian Breslauer.
“You know, I gave, I gave/Now I give up/There’s nothing you can do anymore/No, I don’t want to cause a scene/But give me some gas/I’ll light a match tonight/I’ll throw it hard behind my back/ “I try to forgive and forget/Light a cigarette and watch it burn/Thinking about the past, I smoke the ashes/Try to forgive and forget/Light a cigarette and watch it burn,” Perry sings. chorus.
“Watch It Burn” is Perry’s follow-up to “Bandaids,” released in November. Her last full-length studio album was in 2024, with “143,” a top 10 hit on the Billboard 200.
Following Perry’s single, TEEKS’ “My Boy” followed with 18% of the votes, followed by sombr’s “My Body Isn’t Ready” with 16% of the votes.
