Firework
Katy Perry · 2010
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- Make 'em go, "Ah, ah, ah"
- As you shoot across the sky
- Baby, you're a firework
- Come on, let your colors burst
Echo the hook
- Boom, boom, boom
- Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
- It's always been inside of you, you, you
- And now it's time to let it through
