"Chained to the Rhythm" is a song by American singer-songwriter Katy Perry that served as the lead single from her fifth studio album, Witness. It features vocals from Jamaican singer Skip Marley. The artists co-wrote the track with its producers Max Martin and Ali Payami, with additional writing from Sia. Capitol Records released the track on February 10, 2017, as a digital download. "Chained to the Rhythm" is a dance-pop, disco and dancehall song, with lyrics about political awareness.

The track reached number one in Poland and Hungary, as well as the top five in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States and the top 10 in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland.

Mathew Cullen directed the song's music video, which was released on February 21, 2017. It features Perry in an amusement park called "Oblivia". It was nominated for three awards at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards. Perry and Marley promoted the song with live performances at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards, the 2017 Brit Awards, and the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Production and release

Perry described her fifth album Witness as a "360-degree liberation" record, with "Chained to the Rhythm" representing a "political liberation".[1] The singer felt "kind of depressed" after Donald Trump was elected President of the United States in November 2016, and "definitely didn't want to write a club banger" when the "world" was "on fire". She "channeled her frustration into new music" and said creating the track "was a nice exercise of like writing a song that at first listen is a really fun song, but I guess the more you dive into it, it has a different sub-text".[2] Skip Marley told Billboard he and Perry made the song together after she heard his track "Lions" and wanted to collaborate with him. After the two spoke in January 2017, he "delivered the message that I had to deliver" while recording the track, describing it as "one of unification and love".[3]

On February 8, 2017, in a promotional campaign for "Chained to the Rhythm," disco balls playing the song were left in various international cities.[4] Capitol Records released the song for download two days later as the album's lead single[1][5] and onto American radio stations on February 14.[6] The song earned over three million streams within twenty-four hours of its Spotify release, breaking the record for the highest first-day streaming for a single track by a female artist.[7] Aya Tanimura directed an accompanying lyric video. It features a hamster inside a doll house while a pair of human hands prepares miniature food for the hamster.[8] Erin Jansen from USA Today wrote "we're shown footage of a hamster running tirelessly on a hamster wheel, a visualization of the popular idiom meaning to perform activities repetitiously without progress." She also mentioned that, "Paired with Perry's lyrics, there's definitely a message to be absorbed."[9]

Composition

"Chained to the Rhythm" is a dance-pop, disco and dancehall song that contains a midtempo beat. Perry co-wrote the track with Marley, Sia, and its producers Max Martin and Ali Payami.[10] It has a length of three minutes and fifty-seven seconds.[5][11][12] The song contains "slap bass" with elements of electric guitar and synths.[13] It features a guest appearance from Marley and background vocals from Furler.[10][14] According to the sheet music published by Kobalt Music Publishing America, Inc on Musicnotes.com, "Chained to the Rhythm" is in A minor set in a 4
4 time signature at a moderate tempo of 95 beats per minute. Perry's vocal range spans from the low note B3 to the high note G5, while the music follows the chord progression of Am–G/A–Dm7–F.[15] In the chorus, Perry sings "Turn it up, it's your favorite song / Dance, dance, dance to the distortion / Turn it up, keep it on repeat / Stumbling around like a wasted zombie / Yeah, we think we're free / Drink, this one is on me / We're all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm."[10]

According to Thomas H. Green of The Arts Desk, "Chained to the Rhythm" is "a perfect slice of pop, lightly marinated in calypso with lyrics and a melody that brilliantly muster both existential hopelessness and remaining upbeat against bad odds".[16] Jason Newman from Rolling Stone wrote, "Perry injects a subversive element underneath the ostensibly frothy song, lacing her lyrics with ideas of selfish comfortability and complacency."[12] Mike Wass of Idolator describes the song as "[a] curious disco/dancehall hybrid."[11] Slant Magazine states, "Despite the lightweight vibe" the track is a "decidedly political statement".[17] Lars Brandie from Billboard wrote the track "is built on a bed of warm, slightly-tweaked '80s keys and has its energies tuned to the dancefloor."[10] Nick Levine of NME also observed political criticism in the lyrics, stating they "appear to be a rallying cry for society to become more politically involved and less complacent."[18]

Critical reception

In a positive review, E!'s Samantha Scnurr wrote the song "sounds like a soon-to-be party classic with its easy pulse and disco elements, layered underneath the upbeat veneer, Perry delivers a strong message about awareness and activism—and, according to her, how it's lacking."[19] NME reviewer Jordan Bassett praised the track as "like Daft Punk, but fun", and felt the production was "crisp-as-fuck".[20] Writing for Vulture, Karen Brill was less favorable, questioning if the track was "pretty much just dance, without much subtext?"[21] Another positive review came from Jason Lipshutz of Billboard, who felt it amplified "Perry's new musical agenda at a time when she needed one" with its political themes. According to him, "the single is built around lyrics chastising us for being 'happily numb' and 'tone deaf,' and tries to gently puncture the bubble that we create when we drown out the world's issues."[13]

Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine praised "Chained to the Rhythm", writing, "a track with a hook that implores listeners to 'Come on, turn it up/Keep it on repeat' had better deliver the goods, and this one most definitely does."[17] Josh Duboff from Vanity Fair considered the song "a departure from straight-forward firework metaphors and nostalgic teenage romance anthems." He noted, "the idea of the song is that we are chained to the 'rhythm,' perhaps not questioning our daily lives and existences as much as we should be."[22] MTV's Anne T. Donahue gave a positive review for the song, calling it a "hardly new terrain for Perry." She described it as a "totally fine song that's easy to listen and dance to, and one that does justice to her career in pop."[23]

NME ranked "Chained to the Rhythm" as their 17th best song of 2017, praising its "catchy-as-chlamydia" rhythm and "fine message".[24]

As a result, "Chained to the Rhythm" became her 15th top 10 Radio Songs entry where it became her first to reach the top 10 since "Dark Horse" topped the chart in 2014.[32][33] On the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, it became her 17th consecutive number-one song in the magazine's April 22, 2017 issue, tying with Mariah Carey for the fifth most number-one entries on the chart and extending her record for most consecutive tracks to top the chart.[34] On October 29, 2019, "Chained to the Rhythm" was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipments of two million units.[35]

Music video

A screenshot from the music video that shows the fictional gas station. According to BBC editor Mark Savage, the liquid name is "a reference to the West's dependency on oil, but also to the looming crisis over the world's water supply, which some experts believe could lead to a war in Asia".[50]

On February 18, 2017, Perry released a preview of the music video on her alter ego Kathy Beth Terry's Twitter account.[51] On February 21, 2017, she released the official music video on Vevo, with Mathew Cullen as director.[52] The video was mostly shot at the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park in Valencia, Santa Clarita, California, where Perry rides a stylised version of the Full Throttle roller coaster.[53]

The video is set in a futuristic theme park called "Oblivia".[54] BBC's Mark Savage noted the theme is a metaphor for the infinite distractions of modern society.[50] Billboard writer Gil Kaufman wrote that the video has "a number of not-so-subtle hints at Perry's feelings about the current political climate in the nation." The video opens with Perry walking through the gates of the theme park, where she stares at her surroundings in fascination.[55] In the video, the guests are all taking selfies, eating sticks of candy floss in the shape of a nuclear mushroom cloud[56] and crowding around a sign for "the greatest ride in the universe."[50] Perry is awestruck until she pricks her finger on a rose stem made of barbed wire.[57] The atomium, which is the Belgian national symbol, can be seen in the first two seconds of the music video. Some of the attractions contain references to the Brighton Palace Pier in the United Kingdom. The giant concrete dome in the park is supposedly a reference to the San Onofre nuclear power plant located on the Pacific coast.[58]

The next scene shows Perry riding a roller coaster. Savage says that the actual roller coaster is called Full Throttle,[50] which has the tallest loop in North America. The scene changes to "The Great American Dream Drop", where a young couple snuggles in a tiny house that gets flung high into the air and then plunges into the ground.[55]

The next scene is a gas station, where men in sailor costumes whisk Perry off her feet. It shows people drinking large beakers of flaming "Inferno H2O", a bright blue, tainted liquid that makes patrons belch. A hamster wheel attraction then appears, with signs guiding guests to it.[55] Near the end, while watching a 3D movie, Perry notices a homogeneity among the guests. She finds herself in a giant dance number after Skip Marley emerges from a 3D movie for his cameo. Afterward, Perry sings a panicked final chorus, trapped in the middle of a mindless dance routine. This leads to the final shot of the video, where her worried face stares into the camera.[55][50]

At the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, "Chained to the Rhythm" was nominated for "Best Pop", "Best Direction", and "Best Visual Effects".[59] The video has accumulated more than 700 million views on YouTube as of February 2022.[60]

Live performances and covers

Perry performing "Chained to the Rhythm" during Witness: The Tour in Madison Square Garden

Perry first sang the track live at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards on February 12, 2017, where she finished by standing in front of the United States Constitution alongside Skip Marley and closed with the message "No hate". Ralsa Bruner from Time felt she made "a bold political statement" with her performance.[65] Billboard editor Jenna Romaine also observed political elements, writing that "it was impossible not to notice its heavily symbolic nature".[66]

Perry and Marley performed the track again at the 2017 Brit Awards on February 22, alongside two giant puppet skeletons. Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, Meena Jang observed that viewers believed the skeletons resembled Donald Trump and Theresa May, and called the performance "politically charged".[67][68] Adam Boult of The Daily Telegraph also suspected the skeletons resembled Trump and May, though wrote that "The point of the stage dressing might not have been entirely clear – and Perry refrained from saying anything overtly political".[69]

Perry and Marley also sang it at the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 5, where children surrounded her during the performance and she placed herself in a giant hamster wheel. Teen Vogue contributor Sophie Hirsh surmised it contained "a metaphor for breaking free from the hamster wheel–esque grind".[70] Lexy Perez of The Hollywood Reporter observed that Perry "appeared to make another political statement" with the performance. Perry herself joked afterwards that it had "a giant orange hamster on the wheel of life".[71]

In February 2017, Vant delivered a punk version at BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.
