Katy Perry’s new song “Part of Me” was re-leased On February 13 2012; it received an offi-cial release as the lead single from the al-bum's re-release. On February 11, two days before its worldwide premiere, the final re-worked version with new lines and struc-ture leaked onto the internet.

changed on the released version, prompting speculation that the lyrics were directed to-wards ex-husband Russell Brand, which Perry later denied. The song debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, be-coming the 20th song to do so and Perry's 7th number one single on the chart. Upon the release of the song, Perry's fans and media immediately claimed that the lyr-ics were directed towards Perry's ex-husband Russell Brand. Perry later denied the rumors stating: "I wrote it two years ago, which is funny be-

cause everybody is like 'God, it sounds so cur-rent’, and some people that I work with were like 'You should just say you wrote it a couple of weeks ago.' I'm like 'I'm not a dick, I'm going to tell the truth.' I wrote it two years ago when I was writing and recording Teenage Dream, but it didn't feel right on the record. I would've had to take out one of my other songs that made the album a nice, complete package."

Filming for the song began on February 16, 2012, and took place at the USMC's

Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in Ocean-side, California. The video was directed by Ben Mor. Perry stated that she wanted the shoot to be all about girl power. While the film earned positive reception for its encouragement of "girl power", feminist author Naomi Wolf criticized the video and accused it of being propaganda for the Marine Corps. She released a statement saying; “I really want to find out if she was paid by them for making it . . . it is truly shameful. I would suggest a boycott of this singer whom I really liked if you are as of-fended at this glorification of violence as I am.” Glenn Selig, founder of The Publicity Agency re-sponded to the claims on Fox News Live stat-ing: “In her efforts to boycott the video, Naomi Wolf has brought more attention to it, without her comments, most people would clearly have seen the military simply as a metaphor and not as an attempt by Katy Perry to glamorize the military or war. Perry told MTV that she chose the military plot because it represented the song, saying, "It's an affirmation of strength, so I wanted to go the strongest route I ever could." Not only has Katy released a new song, but is now filming for her new movie, also called Part Of Me, being released on 5th of July 2012 in the UK.
