As admirers tried to figure out what the “cryptic” social media message meant, others speculated that it was about a new album, a pregnancy announcement, or a hidden political statement. “Baby point a fire email?” speculated another enthusiast.

Twitter users eventually deciphered the American Idol judge’s Independence Day tweet, which translates to the lyrics “Baby you’re a firework” from the singer’s big hit tune “Firework.” Teenage Dream, which was released in 2010, went straight to No. 1 in various countries, including the United States, where it went on to become her fourth chart-topper. The song has subsequently become an unofficial Fourth of July anthem, and the RIAA has certified it 12 times platinum for sales of at least 12 million copies. At the 2012 Grammys, the song was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance.

When it was released in 2010, the song quickly went to number one in several countries, including the United States, making Perry’s fourth chart-topper. It has now become an unofficial Fourth of July song, gaining a 12-times platinum certification by the RIAA for sales of over 12 million copies. At the 2012 Grammys, the song was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance. Perry took the help of social media in 2022 to clarify the lyrics to “Firework” after her American Idol co-star, Luke Bryan, faltered through a performance and sang the erroneous words during the chorus. Perry took to Instagram to clarify, stating, “For the sake of the official record, it is ‘Awe’ not ‘Up.'” “It’s ‘Firework,’ not ‘Fireworks,” she says, accompanied by a video showing herself correcting Bryan on the show. Katy Perry’s whimsical and occasionally mysterious social media posts keep delighting her millions of followers, leaving them anxiously awaiting her next move and stirring conversations among admirers all over the world.
