Worst Katy Perry Songs

The Top Ten
1 Ur So Gay

I love Katy and she is my favorite in the music industry, but this song made me so uncomfortable in an unexplainable way that I ran upstairs and cried. This song revealed something so strange and scary to Katy Perry. This song scares me in a way that I cannot explain, also the cover art is hideous. I didn't just vote for this because it's #1, I actually am just terrified of this song and the video. If you have never heard this song, please think twice before clicking on this video- you WILL regret it. This song has scarred me in an unimaginable way, I think we can all make it unanimous that this is the worst, dirtiest song by a good role model. Don't even listen to the karaoke, I spent an entire night crying in my room, listening to my radio, trying to get this song out of my head. I even listened to a song that I hate and think is annoying and was happy! I am so relieved that I am not alone with this entire problem. The lyrics are awful, the tune is uncomfortable, and the video is as ...more

This is terrible. In this song, she just repeats "You're so gay, you don't even like boys" in this song. The background music is good though.

It's stupid as hell! She says inappropriate things and just says "you're so gay" over and over. At the end she randomly just says pe***

This song is super inappropriate, I just hate it. My parents banned me from listening to her now..

2 Peacock

I know what this song is about. The title is just an innuendo. Anyway, this also repeats the song title over and over again. It is legit a bad song in general.

How is this a 'gay anthem' the song is about how SHE desperately wants to see a GUYS private part? It HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOMOSEXUALS!

This song is very annoying, repetitive, AND inappropriate, and I remember singing this in front of my parents once.

Well, there's enough rack and (female) booty songs. I don't think there's nearly enough 'peacock' songs as there are those songs.

3 Bon Appetit

I was expecting a song like this from Nicky Minaj or Ariana Grande but not from you Katy, this is a poor version of Birthday (one of her worst songs), not only for the meaning but also for the voice, the base, the autotune, the Migos parts. Everything is wrong with this song, now that Miley is gone better, please don't be the new her! Worst Katy song by far. 0/10

What in the world? I love Katy Perry, but this song, ouch. The lyrics are just disturbing, the video is just, ugh, and the meaning, don't even get me started. Alongside from the whole Witness album, Katy is just starting to get weird. Why can't we have songs that were like the Teenage Dream album? Overall, I do not like this song.

The reasons why everyone(including me) hates this song:
1:It's not sexy at all.This is just like Madonna in 2015 who is pretending tp be sexy but ends up being disgusting.

2:The music video was crap.Chefs were just cooking her like cutting her hair and making her Miley Virus.Though Miley Cyrus did a great job this year because her evil sould occupied Katy.

3:Migos are the most untalented,idiotic and ugliest jerks ever.They burp autotune and sing about raping girls by featuring other idiotic rappers in their crappy songs.

Basically a newer updated version of Peacock but using food as a metaphor for sex. This song just an exploration in the overuse and abuse of autotune.

4 I Kissed a Girl

Tbh, I don't like how some people say that it's supposed to be empowering, when this song has some lyrics that proves it's not.

Ew! The day this song came out was the day music officially died! All her songs are terrible, but this one is the worst!

Love you Katy, but really, take advantage then dyes her guy? I hope the guy did mind that

Hi katy perry I love you my life iam scott masters

What are you doing today.

Love scott masters

5 California Gurls

This is one of the most annoying earworms ever. I swear, it got stuck in my head while I was typing this!

Once again, the background music is catchy, but the video and lyrics were horrible.

New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of. There's nothing you can't do. enough said.

This is her best song! I can never get rid of it, should not even be on this list! -GoKatyGo

6 Swish Swish

All of her songs on this album are complete trash. They all rely on the guest. Katy is clearly trying maintain relevance by making crap like this, but nobody wants to her stay around...

Awful lyrics, awful theme ( whatever it is) and an awful voice. She lost her " thing".
I mean "another in the basket", " u are as cute as an old cuppon expired" clearly she hit the bottom. Poor katy cats karma is not a liar and keeps receipts indeed. But I'm pretty sure that her 8 year old fans wont unstan

The most horrible and annoying lyrics I have ever heard. The music vedio was awesome but the lyrics are worthless.

The lyrics are just horrible. The whole album is trash, but this one is so awful!

7 Birthday

Let me get this straight: I love Katy Perry - have done for years. I've seen her twice live, and I pretty much OBSESS over her Teenage Dream album, especially E.T., but this song... How? What could possibly have possessed her to write this garbage? The only time I've managed to hear it in full in one sitting was when I saw her live - it's annoying, it's FAR too cheesy, and honestly, it makes me angry to hear it, knowing that my favourite artist can create such a horrible song. At least some of her other mass-produced pop rubbish from Prism was tolerable (looking at you, 'This Is How We Do'). But this? Please Katy, never again. (I feel waaay too passionate about this, I'm sorry).

Why is this not at least #3? This is how we do and your so gay are the only songs that are worse

This should be in the top four with peacock, your so gay, and this is how we do

Who sings a song that is all about cake?

8 This Is How We Do

This song have a similar beat of never say never by Justin Bieber

One of my favorite katy perry songs and should not be here

This should be #4 behind your so gay, peacock, and birthday

Should be #3, and dark horse shouldn't even be on this list

9 Hummingbird Heartbeat

Ha ha ha! This song's actually kinda funny to listen to once you find out it's about blow jobs. Not her best song (not even close) but definitely not her worst (erherm, SWISH SWISH OR BON APPETIT).

Hummingbird Heartbeat is a GREAT song, one of my favourites from Katy, and should not be on this list!

Whys humming bird heartbeat here? Unbelievable!

This is the list for her worst songs, not her best.

10 Tsunami

This is cool I wish I was you

The Contenders
11 Roar

Katy's 2nd best song behind the one that got away. My top five Katy perry songs
1) The one that got away- reminds us that sometimes we don't last forever in relationship like we want to. " I never dreamed that one day I would lose you. In another life I would make you stay so I don't have to say you were the one that got away"
2) Roar- inspirational song " You held me down but I got up. Already brushing off the dust." This reminds me that we can get up stronger if we believe in ourselves.
3) Firework- "You don't have to feel like your wasted space. Your original can not be replaced. If you only knew what the futures holds after a hurricane comes a rainbow. Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed so you could open one that lead someone you to the perfect road." This reminds me that we should trust that our future will be better.
4) Part of me- " This is the part of me that your never gonna ever take away from me" I like this song.
5) Hot N cold- this is the chorus " ...more

Bad video. Ok song. I'm just thinking of the fact that one bottle of nail polish can't cover all of an elephants toenails. And ever heard that the animals wouldn't become friends just like that? They would eat her
Or something.

This song's beat was copied by the song brave by Sara Bareilles

This song is great it should not be on the list

12 Firework

Why are all her best songs on this list? The person who added this, are you dysfunctional or what?! Firework is her best song!

This is actually one of her best songs. The message is amazing, although it could still have been presented in a better way.

Whattt?!? This is the most inspirational song I've ever heard and I can't believe it's on this list! What are you doing?

Firework and roar and teenage dream are her best songs in my opinion

13 Last Friday Night

Rebecca Black, the one everyone hates, is in the music video, not to mention Corey Feldman and Debbie Gibson. 'enough said.

This song is all about drinking and partying.

This song should be higher.

Not a clean song for kids.

14 Walking On Air

What a terrible song oh my god I almost ran out of my room

I don't like this song, but I don't hate it either.. I think it's in the right place! :D

Most boring song of the Album PRISM.

This is a fun party song

15 Dark Horse

This is the best song! Should not be here. I'm not even a fan, and don't listen to any of her songs, but I have to admit this is a great song. I don't like her and her songs that much, but this song is my jam!

Katy Perry lost me as a fan after this song. Really, Katy, Juicy J.. I hated that guy and you...

What the heck is this song about? Well, obviously a guy that she loves, but what the heck?

I don't know what's wrong with u people. She sounded very amazing here and this is an amazing song

16 E.T

Really you guys are idoits this song is really creative, wonderfully sung, and had great lyrics

There isn't a message by the way. This is a cool song that has beat.

In my opinion It was really weird and didn't fit Katy Perry's style.

Not good enough guys she is a wonderful artist

17 Teenage Dream

No! This is a great song! Have you ever even heard this song! Are you kidding me?

Whoever put this here either has never heard this song.

Teenage dream is my favorite from scotty masters
I hope my girlfriend katy perry playing it make me happy

Video terrible

18 Chained to the Rhythm

It's funny how this song is about how mindless pop is, but from the same singer who released Bon Appetit not three months later.

It starts off sounding amazing, but then she has an awful rhythm, the lyrics make no sense, & it's another garbage drinking song.

Terrible Katy

Hate it

19 Rise

This song should not be here!

20 Milk Milk Lemonade
21 Part of Me

What?! This is literally the best song I've ever heard! Why is this song even on this list?

22 Fingerprints
23 Who You Love

This is a boring song, agree, and I don't like John Mayer either. Should be in the top #5..

24 Hey Hey Hey

It's so savage. I see why it is the worst. It should be higher

Should be number 1 of her worst songs ever.

25 By the Grace of God

I'm bored to hell listening to a 4 minute song! Like it,but so boring, sometimes.

I though she gave up Gospel music
