    After the song was released in 2010, Perry opened up to painting On the inspiration behind the song’s lyrics, she said at the time: “It’s a song that I think my purpose for some people might change when they hear it.”

    Perry told the newspaper that the idea for the song came from a Jack Kerouac novel, and is based on how she wants to be remembered: “Basically, I have this very dark idea… When I die, I want to be put in fireworks and shot across the sky over the Santa Barbara area as my last tribute.”

    “I want to be fireworks, whether dead or alive,” she continued. “My friend showed me a passage from Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, which talks about people who are so energetic and never say a single word.”

    “They shoot across the sky like fireworks and make people say ‘ah,’” Perry concluded. “I think making people say ‘ah’ is kind of like my motto.”

    The hit song has become a landmark in pop culture. Perry is best known for singing “Firework” at Joe Biden’s 2021 presidential inauguration.
