Katy Perry proves once again how amazing she is with the premiere of her latest clip Part Of Me. Channeling a woman who breaks up with her boyfriend because she caught him flirting with another woman and joins the army inspired by "all women are created equal, then some become marines".
A dramatic scene is seen when she chops her hair in the bathroom before running to the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base in Oceanside, California where she took part with real-life marines at their basic training programs. Premiered on MTV on March 21st the clip was shot in February and directed by Ben Mor. Katy "learned how to flip someone," "learned how to flip them on their back," and "learned how to wrestle underwater."
According to Katy, the video visualizes "an affirmation of strength." Instead of dwelling with her broken heart, she decides to create a new path in her life. "I wanted to go the strongest route I ever could," she gushes. "Literally, I was like, 'I'm gonna join the service. I'm gonna join the Marines.' We used only Marines. For three days, I was a wannabe Marine, which was so difficult."
