Het viertal Imagine Dragons heeft met On Top Of The World zijn eerste hit in de Top 40 te pakken. Single Radioactive flopte eerder in 2013. Beide tracks zijn afkomstig van het debuutalbum Night Visions.
On Top Of The World verscheen in de Verenigde Staten al in 2012. Met succes: zo was On Top Of The World in het najaar van 2012 wekelijks op de Amerikaanse zender CBS te horen als openingstune van de geflopte sitcom Partners. Ook staat het nummer op de soundtrack van de game FIFA 13 en een schoolkoor uit New York zong begin dit jaar een cover tijdens de inauguratieceremonie van de Amerikaanse president Barack Obama.
Imagine Dragons werd opgericht in 2008. Vanaf 2011 bestaat de groep in de huidige bezetting: zanger-drummer Dan Reynolds, basgitarist Ben McKee, gitarist Wayne Sermon en drummer-violist Dan Platzman.
Imagine Dragons - On Top Of The World
If you love somebody
Better tell them while they’re here ’cause
They just may run away from you
You’ll never know quite when, well
Then again it just depends on
How long of time is left for you
I’ve had the highest mountains
I’ve had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but life keeps moving
I take it in but don’t look down
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I’m on top of the world.
I’ve tried to cut these corners
Try to take the easy way out
I kept on falling short of something
I coulda gave up then but
Then again I couldn’t have ’cause
I’ve traveled all this way for something
I take it in but don’t look down
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I’m on top of the world.
Oooooooo... Oooo Ahhhhh Oooo Ahhhhh [2x]
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
And I know it’s hard when you’re falling down
And it’s a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now.
And I know it’s hard when you’re falling down
And it’s a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now.
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I’m on top of the world.

Katy Perry
Katy Perry komt op 24 augustus 2013 op 9 de Top 40 binnen met Roar. Ze wint de slag van Lady Gaga die met haar nieuwe track Applause in dezelfde week 'slechts' op 21 binnenkomt. Van Applause van Lady Gaga wordt gezegd dat het op nummers van Katy Perry lijkt. Roar van Katy Perry zou overeenkomsten vertonen met Brave van Sarah Bareilles van haar album The Blessed Unrest dat in april 2013 verscheen. De beat in Roar wordt ook vergeleken met Hard Knocked Life van Jay-Z.
Roar is Katy Perry's 14e hit en 7e top 10-succes. De track is de voorloper van Prism, het vierde studioalbum van Katy Perry dat op 22 oktober 2013 zal verschijnen. Perry's laatste album is Teenage Dream uit 2010.
Katy Perry is de artiestennaam van Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (Santa Barbara, 25 oktober 1984). Haar eerste twee singles I Kissed A Girl en Hot N Cold stonden in 2008 twee weken op #1.
Perry trouwde op 23 oktober 2010 met komiek Russell Brand. Ze hadden sinds september 2009 een relatie. Brand vroeg eind 2011 een scheiding aan. Sinds augustus 2012 heeft Perry een relatie met John Mayer.
Katy Perry - Roar
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now
[Chorus]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You’re gonna hear me roar
Now I’m floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now
[Chorus]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You’re gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll hear me ROAR
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me ROAR...
Roar-or, roar-or, roar-or, roar-or, roar-or
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You’re gonna hear me ROAR
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'll hear me ROAR
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me ROAR.
