Teasing it throughout the month and unveiling it at a few festivals, Perry is finally ready to let us all witness the blaze, dropping the song officially on Thursday June 25 at 8PM ET / 5PM PT.

“In ‘Watch It Burn,’ I am wrestling with my darkness but last year was pretty tough,” Perry told co-writer Justin Tranter on his UnFamous podcast last week. “I have not given myself permission to be angry my whole life over things where I should be f***ing angry about. What I’ve done is I pushed it down, but I should be f***ing angry. I’m allowed to be angry for a f***ing moment.”

“Don’t wanna cause a scene, but give me the gasoline,” she sings on the track. “Tonight’s the night I light a match, throw it hard behind my back. Gonna try to forgive and forget, light a cigarette, and watch it burn.”
