Everything about Katy Perry's new Olympic-themed music video screams #America. Appropriately titled "Rise," it's got clip after clip of the country's top athletes in their moments of glory, plus a few shots of competitors tumbling (we're good sports, we promise). The song’s crescendos match up perfectly with a gymnast sticking her landing, a boxer throwing a serious blow, and a diver entering the water without a splash.
It's glorious, but the lyrics ("when the fire’s at my feet again and the vultures all start circling") are a tad much—this is the Olympics, not the Hunger Games. We're fist pumping now, but we're not so sure we'll feel the same way after hearing "Rise" on repeat for the next month.
