Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

"'''Part of Me'''" is a song by American singer [[Katy Perry]], released as the [[lead single]] from ''[[Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection]]''. It was written by Perry and [[Bonnie McKee]], with production and additional writing by [[Dr. Luke]], [[Max Martin]], and [[Cirkut (record producer)|Cirkut]]. The song was not included on the original edition of ''Teenage Dream'' because Perry felt that it did not fit the composition of the album. A demo of the song leaked online in late 2010, amid speculation that the lyrics were directed to the singer's ex-boyfriend [[Travie McCoy]]. "Part of Me" was re-worked and officially released on February 13, 2012, through [[Capitol Records]] with [[Album art|artwork]] by art director Gavin Taylor and photography by [[Mary Ellen Matthews]].

A [[dance-pop]] and [[power pop]] song with a distinctive [[house music|house]] beat, it has been compared to Perry's 2010 singles "[[Firework (song)|Firework]]" and "[[California Gurls]]". Its lyrics describe a female protagonist who declares herself as unbreakable and strong following a break-up. Many critics theorized that the lyrics addressed Perry's divorce from British comedian, media personality and actor [[Russell Brand]], although Perry stated it was not about him since it was written in early 2010.

"Part of Me" was a commercial success. It was the twentieth song to debut at number one on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], Perry's seventh number-one single on the chart, and her ninth consecutive number-one single on the [[Hot Dance Club Songs|''Billboard '' Hot Dance Club Songs]] chart. Outside of the United States, "Part of Me" topped the charts in Bulgaria, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, and has been certified Triple Platinum in [[ARIA Charts|Australia]], [[Music Canada|Canada]], and the [[RIAA certification|United States]]. Marketing campaigns for [[Adidas]] and ''[[The Sims 3: Showtime]]'' have featured it.

An accompanying [[music video]] was filmed at the [[United States Marine Corps]]' [[Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton|Camp Pendleton]] in [[Oceanside, California]]. The video depicts Perry enlisting in the Marines following a break-up. It garnered generally positive reviews for Perry's "[[Girl power]]" message but drew criticism from feminist author [[Naomi Wolf]], who denounced it as military [[propaganda]]. Perry debuted the first televised performance of song on at the [[54th Annual Grammy Awards|54th Grammy Awards]] and has also performed the song at the [[ECHO Awards]], the [[2012 Kids' Choice Awards]], and ''[[American Idol]]''.

[[Jody Rosen]] of ''Rolling Stone'' gave the song three stars out of five, calling it "just plain predictable."<ref name="Rosen"/> Steven Hyden and Genevieve Koski of ''[[The A.V.

A reviewer from the Christian group [[Focus on the Family]] criticized Perry's decision to create an uplifting song about such a serious subject matter as divorce: "Framing the song in terms of her divorce from Brand, though 'Part of Me', puts a much more somber and serious spin on things. This is no mere breakup. It's the demolition of a marital covenant. So no matter how bad things were in her relationship, no matter how much better she feels now, no matter how cathartic the pulsing beats (courtesy of hitmeisters Max Martin and Dr. Luke) might feel, the ultimate end here is a very sad one indeed."<ref name="newlyrics">((cite web|title=Track Review: Katy Perry Part of Me|url=http://www.pluggedin.com/music/tracks/2012/katy-perry-part-of-me.aspx|publisher=[[Plugged In (publication)]]|access-date=April 8, 2012|archive-date=April 15, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120415113148/http://www.pluggedin.com/music/tracks/2012/katy-perry-part-of-me.aspx|url-status=live))</ref> Priya Elan of ''[[NME]]'' panned the song: 'This is the part of me, that you're never going to take away from me,' "she sings in that strange angry robot voice of hers. “The sentiment, as ever, is punch you in face crystal clear and probably meant something to one of the (probably) 17 writers who wrote the song.”<ref>((cite web|title=Katy Perry, 'Part Of Me' – Track Review|url=http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=1&title=katy_perry_part_of_me_track_review&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1|first=Priya|last=Elan|work=[[NME]]|access-date=April 8, 2012))</ref>

Perry confronts him in his office, slams down her heart pendant on the desk, and ends their relationship before Jason can talk to her. Perry storms out the door. The title track begins as we see Perry driving to a gas station, where she buys a can of tea. After paying for her items, she sees a moto-sticker on a notice board which reads, "All women are created equal, then some become Marines". The increasingly emotional Perry gathers her possessions from her car trunk, enters a nearby restroom, and begins her change of identity. She tearfully cuts her hair short, removes her bracelets, flattens her breasts, and changes into a hoodie and jeans.

Perry enlists in the [[United States Marine Corps]], and after a brief scene of recruit training, reports to the School of Infantry for the Marine Corps' rigorous basic combat instruction course. She reminisces over her experiences with her ex-boyfriend, yet remains spiteful towards him. She then burns a love note from him (as opposed to a [[Dear John letter]]) and vents her frustration through the [[Marine Corps Martial Arts Program]]. The remainder of the video depicts Perry's training, and shows her dancing beneath a large [[Star-Spangled Banner (flag)|garrison]] flag. Perry ultimately transforms into a trained warrior, clad in camouflage [[MARPAT|marine pattern]], body armor and face paint.

===Reception===
The video garnered positive reviews from critics, who praised its self-empowerment theme and its different approach in comparison to Perry's previous music videos. Bruna Nessif of [[E!|E! Online]] compared the video to [[Demi Moore]]'s role in ''[[G.I. Jane]]''.<ref>((cite web|title=Katy Perry's "Part of Me" Music Video Not What We Expected..... but Still Rock|url=http://au.eonline.com/news/katy_perrys_part_of_me_music_video_not/303057|publisher=[[E!

<blockquote>
"Over the years, Perry has been a California Gurl, a nerdy teenager, an alien and just about everything in between, but up until now, she's never really been an actual person." He went on to praise the video stating: "Part of Me" is unlike any pop video in recent memory. [[Rihanna]] did military chic in her "[[Hard (Rihanna song)|Hard]]" video (she even straddled a tank), and just about every one of Perry's pop contemporaries have ventured down the same path. But they were never really in the military; they were just making it more fabulous. Perry takes the opposite tact((sic)): She cuts off her hair, she eschews makeup, she fights, crawls, suffers. It's a commendable level of commitment. Your move, everybody else."<ref>((cite web|title=Katy Perry's 'Part Of Me' Video: Report For Duty|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1681551/katy-perry-part-of-me-music-video.jhtml|publisher=MTV News.

Feminist author [[Naomi Wolf]] criticized the video as [[propaganda]] for the Marine Corps, stating "I really want to find out if she was paid by them for making it ..... it is truly shameful.

"Part of Me" was given its first live performance on February 12, 2012, at the [[54th Annual Grammy Awards|54th Grammy Awards]]. The performance began with "[[E.T.

It ended partway through the chorus as [[Audio feedback|electronic sound effects]] and the lights and sound suddenly went out, implying technical difficulties.<ref>((cite web|title=Grammy Awards 2012: Katy Perry performs new single 'Part of Me'|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a365380/grammy-awards-2012-katy-perry-performs-new-single-part-of-me.html|first=Tara|last=Fowler|date=February 13, 2012 |publisher=[[Digital Spy]].

On March 19, 2012, Perry performed "Part of Me" as part of a [[Live Lounge]] special for [[BBC Radio 1]], along with "[[The One That Got Away (Katy Perry song)|The One That Got Away]]" (2011), "[[Firework (song)|Firework]]" (2011), "[[Thinking of You (Katy Perry song)|Thinking of You]]" (2009) and a censored version of "[[Niggas in Paris]]" (2011).<ref>((cite web|title=Katy Perry Performs "Ni**as In Paris" For BBC's Radio 1 Live Lounge|url=http://idolator.com/6223591/katy-perry-niggas-in-paris-bbc-radio-1-live-lounge|first=Erika|last=Brooks Adickman|date=March 19, 2012 |publisher=[[Idolator (website)|Idolator]].

After a short, introductory military-style video, Perry made a simulated airdrop onto a military base peopled by female background dancers, all clad in military clothing.

[[Brian Mansfield]], of ''[[USA Today]]'', called it a "pretty impressive production", but criticized Perry's vocal abilities.<ref>((cite news|title=Katy Perry: 'Part of Me'|url=http://content.usatoday.com/communities/idolchatter/post/2012/04/katy-perry-part-of-me/1|first=Brian|last=Mansfield|work=USA Today|publisher=[[Gannett]]|access-date=April 27, 2012|date=April 26, 2012|archive-date=April 30, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120430092037/http://content.usatoday.com/communities/idolchatter/post/2012/04/katy-perry-part-of-me/1|url-status=live))</ref>

Perry included the song in the [[set list]] of her June 9, 2012 performance at [[Capital (radio network)|Capital FM]]'s [[Summertime Ball]] festival.((citation needed|date=March 2020)) [[DJ Earworm]] had also made a mashup called "Fly" for the Summertime Ball and included "Part of Me" and Perry's previous single, "The One That Got Away" in the mashup.

"Part of Me" was used in a national marketing campaign for ''[[The Sims 3]]'' limited-edition expansion pack, ''[[The Sims 3: Showtime]]''. Perry filmed a 30-second commercial, in which she performed the song onstage as a Sim version of herself. The expansion pack includes Katy Perry-themed items, inspired by the concept and artwork of her album ''Teenage Dream'' (2010), that players can use on their own Sims.<ref>((cite web|title=More Katy Perry For 'The Sims' With the ((sic|hide=y|reason=double 'the' error in source title)) 'The Sims 3 Katy Perry's Sweet Treats' Expansion|url=http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2012/04/06/more-katy-perry-for-the-sims/|publisher=MTV.
