Katy Perry has shared a new song called “Electric.” It was recorded in conjunction with Pokémon’s 25th anniversary, and Pikachu appears on the artwork that teased the song. He’s also in the track’s music video, helmed by Carlos López Estrada. Watch below.
Katy Perry made “Electric” with the Monsters & Strangerz and Jon Bellion. She said in a statement:
Pokémon’s 25th anniversary previously gifted the world a Post Malone cover of Hootie and the Blowfish’s song “Only Wanna Be With You.” A compilation record, Pokémon 25: The Album, is scheduled to come out this fall via Capitol Records.
Earlier this year, Perry performed “Firework” to close President Joe Biden’s inaugural celebration. Read about Katy Perry on Pitchfork’s list of “The 200 Best Songs of the 2010s.”
