Katy Perry ‘Rise’ The New Unofficial La. State Song? [Video]

The first time I heard Katy Perry's "Rise," I thought "Okay, she's got another hit." Some historic events have since taken place. They say art imitates life. I played "rise" on the air just a few minutes before starting this story. Given the resilience, and fiercely indomitable spirit of south Louisiana people, it seems anthemic...

"When the fire's at my feet again And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering, "You're out of time," But still I rise"

- Written by Katy Perry, Max Martin, Ali Payami, and Savan Kotecha
