Katy Perry Says Everyone’s Been Singing ‘Firework’ Wrong This Whole Time

on the wind? Well, that's between you and your plastic bags.But the misheard lyric is in the chorus, which according to Google goes, “Cause baby, you're a firework / Come on, show 'em what you're worth / Make ‘em go, oh." In the official lyric video on Perry’s YouTube page, it's either “oh” or “ah” because the font they used back in 2010 is so weird I genuinely can't tell!This content can also be viewed on the site it from.However, Katy Perry told her fellow American Idol judge Luke Bryan when he attempted to sing the song that, quote, “It's not 'up, up, up,' and it's not ‘ah, ah, ah,’” per .

Bryan then asked the question on all of America's mind: "What is it then? Because I've been dying to know all these years." Haven't we all been dying to know this for years!?Straight from : "It's ‘awe, awe, awe,’ everybody.

Get it right! It's not 'Fireworks' it's 'Firework.'"Now, obviously this makes sense and I have zero questions, but on the other hand…what? “Awe” as in “awesome,” as in “I am in awe of this firework and so I exclaim out loud the word awe"?

That said, it does rhyme better (sort of) with the next line, “As you shoot across the sky." But Katy isn't done yet. The songstress took to Instagram to point out that it wasn't even she who came up with this conceit; it was , so take it up with him!
