CHARACTERISTICS
The term “pop song” is first recorded as being used in 1926, in the sense of a piece of music “having popular appeal” An aim of appealing to a general audience An emphasis on craftsmanship rather than formal “artistic” qualities An emphasis on recording, production, and technology, over live performance A tendency to reflect existing trends rather than progressive developments Much pop music is intended to encourage dancing, or it uses dance-oriented beats or rhythms


We thought up of some professional vocalists and we came up with Katy Perry as one of them. There are many of Katy Perry’s songs that are popular like Wide Awake, Part of Me and Firework. And we chose Wide Awake as the song that we would like to share.

Wide Awake Lyrics
I wish I knew then, What I know now. Wouldn’t dive in, Wouldn’t bow down. Gravity hurts, You made it so sweet, Till I woke up on.
