"Part of Me" is a song by American singer Katy Perry, released as the lead single from ''Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection''. It was written by Perry and Bonnie McKee, with production and additional writing by Dr. Luke, Max Martin, and Cirkut. The song was not included on the original edition of ''Teenage Dream'' because Perry felt that it did not fit the composition of the album. A demo of the song leaked online in late 2010, amid speculation that the lyrics were directed to the singer's ex-boyfriend Travie McCoy. "Part of Me" was re-worked and officially released on February 13, 2012, through Capitol Records with artwork by art director Gavin Taylor and photography by Mary Ellen Matthews. A dance-pop and power pop song with a distinctive house beat, it has been compared to Jessie J's 2011 single "Domino" and Perry's 2010 singles "Firework" and "California Gurls". Its lyrics describe a female protagonist who declares herself as unbreakable and strong following a break-up. Contemporary music critics praised the song's production and gave it mixed-to-positive reviews, although some criticized Perry's vocals. Many theorized that the lyrics addressed Perry's divorce from Russell Brand, although Perry stated it was not about him since it was written in early 2010. "Part of Me" was a commercial success. It was the twentieth song to debut at No. 1 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, Perry's seventh number-one single on the chart, and her ninth consecutive number-one single on the ''Billboard '' Hot Dance Club Songs chart. The single debuted at No. 1 in Canada and the United Kingdom and has been certified Platinum in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. Marketing campaigns for Adidas and ''The Sims 3: Showtime'' have featured it. An accompanying music video was filmed at the United States Marine Corps' Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, California. The video depicts Perry enlisting in the Marines following a heartbreak. It garnered generally positive reviews for Perry's "Girl power" message but drew criticism from feminist author Naomi Wolf, who denounced it as military propaganda. Perry debuted the first televised performance of song on at the 54th Grammy Awards and has also performed the song at the ECHO Awards, the 2012 Kids' Choice Awards, and ''American Idol''. ==Background and release== "Part of Me" was written by Perry herself, Dr. Luke, Bonnie McKee, and Max Martin during the 2010 ''Teenage Dream'' writing sessions, which also produced the Hot 100 number-one singles "California Gurls", "Teenage Dream" and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)." Perry and McKee had been casual friends prior to Perry's request for her help with a song that Perry had been writing called "Part of Me". According to ''Rolling Stone'', McKee stayed up all night writing the lyrics. When Perry was presented the song, she shouted "We're buying you a car!" by the time she heard the third line. Perry recorded a demo of the track that leaked in full on December 30, 2010. The song was rumored to be a leftover cut from her ''Teenage Dream'' recording sessions, and fans speculated that the track might be included in an as-yet-unconfirmed re-release of the LP.〔 This re-release was confirmed in January 2012, when Perry announced through her official website that the album would contain all twelve songs from the original album, plus three new songs and a remix, and would be released on March 26, 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.katyperry.com/katy-announces-release-of-teenage-dream-the-complete-confection/ )〕 Perry's press release stated: "This is the complete story of Teenage Dream. It was an incredible honor to tie the King of Pop's ''Billboard'' Hot 100 record, but I'm moving forward and had a few things left to get off my chest. So this is the complete special edition of my album for my fans."〔 On February 13, 2012, "Part of Me" received an official release as the lead single from the album's re-release. Perry had planned all along to release the song on the deluxe edition of the album rather than the original, as it did not fit that album's composition.〔 On February 11, two days before its worldwide premiere, the song was leaked for a second time with a reworked production and slightly changed lyrics.〔 "Part of Me" was released to most iTunes stores worldwide on February 18, 2012, following her performance at the 54th Grammy Awards.〔"Part of Me" was released to most iTunes stores worldwide following Perry's performance at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards on February 13, 2012: * (【引用サイトリンク】url=https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/part-of-me-single/id501603879 ) * (【引用サイトリンク】url=https://itunes.apple.com/be/album/part-of-me-single/id501603879 ) * (【引用サイトリンク】url=https://itunes.apple.com/cz/album/part-of-me-single/id501603879 ) * (【引用サイトリンク】url=https://itunes.apple.com/cz/album/part-of-me-single/id501603879 ) * (【引用サイトリンク】url=https://itunes.apple.com/dk/album/part-of-me-single/id501603879 ) * (【引用サイトリンク】url=https://itunes.apple.com/fi/album/part-of-me-single/id501603879 ) * * * * * (【引用サイトリンク】url=https://itunes.apple.com/nz/album/part-of-me-single/id501603879 ) * (【引用サイトリンク】url=https://itunes.apple.com/no/album/part-of-me-single/id501603879 ) * (【引用サイトリンク】url=https://itunes.apple.com/pt/album/part-of-me-single/id501603879 ) * * * 〕 In the United States, "Part of Me" was sent to contemporary radio playlists on February 21, 2012.〔 The song was released in England, Scotland, Wales, France, and Ireland on March 18, 2012 under the digital download and CD single formats.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Part-Me-Katy-Perry/dp/B007L6F8TE/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1340241654&sr=1-1 )〕 Perry revealed via Twitter that all profits raised from the sales of the single would be donated to MusiCares.
