Everyone Has Been Singing Katy Perry’s ‘Firework’ Wrong, She Reveals

During Sunday’s episode (March 6), Katy jumped in to correct co-star Luke Bryan as he sang the chorus of the smash.
“It’s not ‘up, up, up,’ and it’s not ‘ahh, ahh, ahh,’” she revealed.
“Well, what is it then? ’Cause I’ve been dying to know all these years,” he said back.
“It’s ‘awe, awe, awe. A-W-E,” she responded.
“Is that a word in the dictionary?” Luke Bryan joked.
“It’s ‘awe, awe, awe,’ everybody. Get it right!” she went on to say.
“FOR THE OFFICIAL RECORD. It is AWE not UP. It is FIREWORK not FIREWORKSSS,” she added in a caption on her Instagram account, as well as a second slide showing that the song was inspired by a line from Jack Kerouac’s 1951 book On the Road.
The line is: “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes ‘Awww!’”
She also has a song that she wishes she could revise.
Watch the moment…
