We just can't get enough of Katy Perry! The superstar singer is heating up the summer and enters a hyper-stylized, pastel-soaked pleasure dome in the colorful wild new clip for her upbeat YOLO anthem, "This Is How We Do," which is the newest single from her "Prism" album. The new clip is a modern art masterpiece and is nothing short of colorful, fun and filled with a slew of questionable advice featuring over-the-top visuals and outrageous outfits. There are, however, plenty of vivid colors and retro styling that references the early days of pop art, vintage fashion, and twerking ice cream cones.
This 1990s New Jack Swing influenced dance track is a girls night out anthem that pays tribute to those ladies who party all night. Perry called it "the sequel to 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.).'" The lyrics also reference La Super Rica, Perry's favorite taqueria in her Santa Barbara hometown. Perry explained in a tweet that the inspiration for this song was: "My OG crew, our parties & my hometown Santa Barbara." If you can get over the fact that "This Is How We Do" features groan-worthy lyrics like "Now we're talking astrology/ getting our nails did all Japanese-y," you'll realize it's actually kind of a jam.
Unlike women's empowerment, in-depth love and infatuation she crooned about on her other tracks, the current Joel Kefali-directed video is all about having fun no matter what. "This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back/ Straight stuntin' yea we do it like that," the 29-year-old singer gives a slew of questionable advice. The singer wisely steers the costumes clear of any ethnic groups this time, instead opting for pop culture references with the Pee-Wee Herman-inspired backup dancers, Yves Saint Laurent's iconic Mondrian dress, a pepperoni pizza swimsuit, green hair extensions and rocking cornrows.
Perry flaunts tons of colorful looks and boasts about living a carefree lifestyle without consequences in her wacky pop art video, which gives off a clear 80's vibe, complete with side ponytails, colorful outfits, and outlandish jewelry. "This one goes out to the ladies at breakfast in last night's dress," she said after singing about driving in a Maserati. Perry acts out the lyrics to her video pretty literally, as she cooks pancakes for her boys, plays ping-pong all night long, and even performs some Mariah Carey-oke, complete with a cameo by the elusive chanteuse herself. Sound weird? That's a massive understatement. Check out the bizarre little offering below.
