Good song. It really is a song to relate to. I love her songs that have a good theme to them. (: GO KATY! She's my new roll model.... i love her because she is good at slower songs and party ones as well <3
She can write about whatever she wants. Honestly, if this song IS about Travie, then maybe he'll get a clue and realize he should have paid more attention to her than drugs.
She's an artist, like taylor swift, she writes about her experiences, and this happens to be one of them.
@MoiraJeanette It's not even about him possibly pay more attention to her or whatever. This song is brilliant because it's relatable, there are many people going through this with their partner. It's real.
All art is an expression of human emotion. So many popstars now-a-days are not artists; they sing songs written for them about dancing in clubs. Katy has written a song about the anger and frustration of leaving an addict who you could have loved. Music is her art - art comes from the core, sometimes it's not pretty, but it's real and should never be censored!
guys, chill down. Whatever happened between her and Travie is in the past, and all she's doing by releasing this song is expressing how she feels. like all artists do. Music is a way of showing people how you feel.
@stupidjunk978 I know, I heard my 9 year old sister singing this song and was a little disturbed, but then again Katy should make the music she wants to make.
i like the way she sings a song about travie who WAS on drugs and then she moves onto Russell Brand! There is something wrong with that chick! i love Travie McCoy to bits and i think she is a total bitch for doing this to him....
Who cares what the song is about? I hate it when celebrities become drug addicts and then want everyone's sympathy when they're trying "so hard" to get out of it. Just don't do it in the fucking first place.
She didnt have to write about this... She was being a bitch when she wrote this about Travie... What was the point about making a song about something in his personal life that wasnt any of her business?? what a shlag... apart from this, shes an ok artist...
@xxantoniewicz get over it. how many women listen to our bs about what we gonna do in bed then dont live up to it? great Katy song. might be her best behind Hot and Cold.
@xxantoniewicz get over it. how many women listen to our bs about what we gonna do in bed then dont live up to it? great Katy song. might be her best behind Hot and Cold
@LIawIiet apparantly u are fuckin stupid. true she talked about popping pills, thus the title circle the drain as in when u try to get clean and put the pills in the sink then change your mind and want them, but if Travie was giving her that good wood she wouldn't be MrsRussell Brand. It comes down to sex and money eventually for most women. Those that don't have not been hurt yet or found themselves. Maybe I should've broken it down more for you, but my bad.
@icebergfrostbidden . . . you clearly have NO idea what you are talking about. 'Circling the drain' is referring to the fact that a) her drug addict lover's life is going down the drain and b) she cannot or will not stop it. It has nothing to do with putting drugs in the sink and changing your mind! HE is circling the drain - i.e. headed for rock bottom.
I think YOU need to put the pills in the sink, bro - you made no sense in that gibberish you call a post. It's 'apparently' btw.
@LIawIiet from someone that has dealt with the addiction in person and not read about it, trust me, I know bro. That is what circling the drain is. And my post made plenty of sense. Maybe it is you that should lay off the drugs and learn how to read. But you do have a point with your other meanings. You get a gold star for effort, but that IS the correct answer, what I wrote. Now throw some thumbs up the way of the Iceberg.
@LIawIiet best bet is to speak on what you know and have lived. You should let your own rubbish posts speak for themselves about life experiences. Pop music is dangerous in the wrong hands.
@xxantoniewicz thats what artists do - write about their lives. she's right, he did blow it. she shouldnt have to put up with him taking prescription drugs all the time.
i really like this song but i dont like how it is about travis he is a good musician and she is kinda contradicting herself cuz russel brand did drugs aswell
Katy Perry is cool, I admit. But I admit that calling out Travie is bull. he's a great musician and substance abuse is a difficult thing to conquer. if you wanted to write a damn song about him, write about how he's overcome what he used to be, not about his past demons. nuff' said
@whyilovetheworld How do you know he isn't still using? I mean yeah pictures say a thousand words but how do you know he isn't still using and she had to deal with that. It's like dealing with a drunk, they lie, they cheat; anything to get their alcohol plus it's not that hard to hide having an addiction from everything at least only the smart ones know how to 'look' fine but still be using.
@whyilovetheworld well, substance abuse is not the only difficult thing to conquer. loving somebody who is a substance abuser and trying to live with constantly watching somebody fall down that you love is just as - or might be even more - difficult, since trying to help the abuser is a f*cking hard, very often hopeless and most of the time very ungrateful thing to do. I don't think that she was trying to write a song about him, but about her own struggle with his addiction.
@whyilovetheworld I disagree. I think the fact that everyone knows who it's about and it affects his rep is kinda low, but Katy is an artist. She writes about what she feels and what she experiences, right? So she's going to write about the BS he put her through when they were together, because that's what's closest to her heart. Can't blame her for that.
@XMichaelSpektorX hey, your gf is probably saying the same thing about ur skills in bed. and why are you watching it if you don't like it? It doesn't make sense
"Exploit my bad habits Tell them I do drugs Tell them Travie smokes more crack than Tyrone Biggums does… Tell them I can't rap Tell them I dumb it down Tell them not to buy tickets whenever my band's in town… Make me out to be an asshole that don't deserve his fans Make me more insecure than I already am Kick dirt on my accomplishments if you're ever bored Just document it well and don't forget to hit record…” TRAVIE/Gym Class Heroes-'Don't Tell Me It's Over'
