About this Song
Katy Perry, an American singer and songwriter from Indonesia, presents "Chained To The Rhythm," featuring Skip Marley. This dance-pop, disco, and dancehall track, co-written by Perry, Skip Marley, Max Martin, Ali Payami, and Sia, was released as the lead single from her 2017 album *Witness*. Perry described *Witness* as a shift towards "purposeful pop." Skip Marley stated that he and Perry created "Chained to the Rhythm" after she heard his track "Lions" and wanted to collaborate, describing the song as a message of "unification and love." The lyrics of "Chained to the Rhythm" focus on political awareness, a theme that critics noted, with some finding the song "confusedly woke" and "heavy-footed." Perry’s career began with a gospel album, *Katy Hudson*, released under her birth name in 2001, before she adopted her mother's maiden name for her stage identity. Her breakthrough came with the 2008 pop-rock album *One of the Boys*, followed by *Teenage Dream* in 2010, which produced five U.S. number-one singles.
