"Dark Horse" is a song by American
singer Katy Perry featuring
American rapper Juicy J. It was
originally released on September 17, 2013, by Capitol Records as the first promotional single from Perry's fourth studio album, Prism(2013).
Three months later,
it was released as the third official single on December 17. Both
artists co-wrote the song with its producers, Max Martin,
Cirkut,
and Dr. Luke,
alongside Sarah Hudson.
It was conceived by Perry and Hudson during a writing session in Perry's
hometown of Santa Barbara,
California, and Juicy J was later
commissioned for a verse on the song.
"Dark Horse" combines the genres
of trap,
hip hop, pop-rap and electropop,
replicating what has been described as a "Southern rap-techno mashup". The
track features a minimal production, with a "seductive" and
"mature" tone to Perry's vocals, while Juicy J is featured on the
song's intro and rapped bridge. Perry,
in interviews, said she wanted the song to have a "witchy, spell-y
kind of black magic-y
idea", so she wrote it from the perspective of a witch warning a man
not to fall in love with her
because if he does, she will be his last. The song was part of a competition
sponsored by Pepsi in which fans
could vote via Twitter on whether they
would prefer either "Dark Horse" or "Walking on
Air" to be released as the first promotional single
from Prism.
"Dark Horse" was a commercial
success, charting at number one in Canada, the Netherlands,
Poland and the United States. It also reached the top ten in almost 20
countries including New Zealand, United
Kingdom, Sweden and Venezuela as well
as the Digital Songs chart of Billboard magazine. Billboard credits "Dark
Horse" for helping cement trap music's
place on the charts. Perry first performed the song live at the 2013 iHeartRadio
Music Festival in Las Vegas on
September 20, 2013. The song's first major television performance was at the 56th Annual
Grammy Awards on January 26, 2014. "Dark
Horse" was nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 57th Annual
Grammy Awards. The song has sold 13.2 million units (combined
sales and track-equivalent streams), becoming the second best-selling song
worldwide for 2014. As of 2019, it is one of the best selling songs in digital
history.
Oh, new

I knew you were
You were gonna come to me
And here you are
But you better choose carefully
'Cause I, I'm capable of anything
Of anything and everything

Make me your one and only
But don't make me your enemy

So you wanna play
with magic?
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby, do you dare to do this?
'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse (hey)
Are you ready for,

A perfect storm, a perfect storm? (hey, hey)
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
There's no going back
Mark my words
This love will make you levitate
Like a bird, like a bird without a cage
But down to earth
If you choose to walk away, don't walk away
It's in the palm of
your hand now baby
It's a yes or no, no maybe
So just be sure before you give it up to me
Up to me, give it up to me
So you wanna play
with magic?
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby, do you dare to do this?
'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse (hey)
Are you ready for,

'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)

I call her Karma (come back)
She eats your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer (whoa!)
Be careful
Try not to lead her on (mm)
Shawty's heart was on steroids
'Cause her love was so strong
You may fall in love
when you meet her (meet her)
If you get the chance you better keep her (keep her)
She's sweet as pie, but if you break her heart
She'll turn cold as a freezer (freezer)
That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor
She can be my Sleeping Beauty
I'm gon' put her in a coma (whoa!)
Damn, I think I love
her
Shawty so bad, I'm sprung and I don't care
She got me like a roller coaster
Turn the bedroom into a fair (a fair)
Her love is like a drug
I was tryna hit it and quit it
But lil' mama so dope
I messed around and got addicted
So you wanna play
with magic?
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for (you should know)
Baby, do you dare to do this?
'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse (like a dark horse)
Are you ready for, ready for (ready for)
A perfect storm, a perfect storm? (a perfect storm)
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine (oh)
There's no going back.
