Shot over the course of three days in January at “the thrill capital of the world”–
Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA – “Chained to the Rhythm” was directed 
by GRAMMY®-winner Matthew Cullen (Jay-Z, Beck), who also helmed the videos for “
Dark Horse” and “California Gurls.” It was produced by Danny Lockwood, Rob Newman,
Ben Leiser and Javier Jimenez.

Spotify streams of “Chained to the Rhythm,” [http://Katy.to/CTTR](http://Katy.to/CTTR)
exceeded three million on its first day of release – setting an all-time record 
for the best first day of streaming of a single track by a female artist in Spotify
history – and topped 20 million in the first week. The song is the first single 
from her forthcoming album.

Billboard proclaimed, “Katy Perry Embraces Her Wokeness — And It Works…one of music’s
biggest stars is once again dominating conversations.” Katy co-wrote “Chained to
the Rhythm” with Max Martin, Sia Furler, Ali Payami and Skip Marley. The latter 
is featured on the track.

Katy made her Capitol Records debut with 2008’s One of the Boys after signing to
the label in 2007. She cemented her status as a global superstar with the follow-
up album, Teenage Dream (2010). PRISM, her 2013 album, debuted at No. 1 on iTunes
in 100 countries and has sold more than 12.5 million adjusted albums worldwide. 
With the singles “Firework” and “Dark Horse” each surpassing the 10 million threshold
including song sales and streams, Katy is the first female artist to earn two RIAA
Digital Single Diamond Awards.

In her 10 years with Capitol, she has racked up a cumulative 18+ billion streams
alongside worldwide sales of more than 40+ million adjusted albums and 125+ million
tracks. She is the most-followed person globally on Twitter. Katy played to a total
of two million people on the sold-out, 151-date Prismatic World Tour and headlined
the Super Bowl XLIX halftime show, which set a record as the most-watched Super 
Bowl halftime show ever.
