Music video [edit]

Subsequently a year of peaks and valleys (remember, information technology's all a journey), I wanted to finish 2017 with a fun, triumphant piece of pop candy. But think of information technology as a glam little stocking stuffer from me to you. 'Hey Hey Hey' is one of my favorite songs from "Witness" and for me, it embodies the fighting spirit I ever desire you to be able to find within yourself, and to run into in me.[15]

The song'south video was filmed in Beverly Hills, California by Isaac Rentz, and was produced past Nina Dluhy-Miller and Danny Lockwood. Vi fill-in dancers were hired; Megan Lawson was credited every bit their choreographer. During the accompanying behind-the-scenes video, Perry resumed the clip's message: "Yous don't have to be merely one thing if you're a adult female, y'all tin be all things. And simply 'cause you're vulnerable does non make you weak".[13] [14] [16] Reviewers said the music video depicts events occurring in the 18th century and Ancien Régime,[15] [17] while also incorporating modernistic elements.[16] During the prune, Perry wears a sculptural blonde wig with curls, and her looks resemble those of French heroine Joan of Arc and Antoinette.[15] [18] [19] Joey Nolfi of Entertainment Weekly found similarities between the vocalist'south wardrobe and that of Sofia Coppola's 2006 motion picture Marie Antoinette.[20]

Synopsis [edit]

The music video opens with a shot of a castle and one of its French-inspired hallways.[eighteen] Lying in her bed, Perry is awakened by the sound of a horn blown by three women,[20] and is given a dark-brown drink ("Napoleon's Coffee")[19] and her smartphone, where she communicates in-video with Prince Piggy (played past Tad Brown[14]) regarding their date. The three women are seen cleaning Perry's underwear, lacing her corset and walking with books on their heads, among other activities. Perry, seemingly overwhelmed, falls down and sees a book titled "JOAN!", with its cover displaying a female warrior. The video subsequently transitions to a scene depicting Perry holding a sword and wearing a dress with an eye placed on her breast. She dances with 3 female groundwork dancers and eats cake with them.

Following this, a scene shows Perry'southward and Prince Piggy's engagement; the latter makes advances towards Perry and arranges his vegetables on his plate to spell DTF.[11] [20] Disgusted, Perry seeks the communication of her friend Lord Markus on her phone, who tells her to "get out of at that place!". Perry then fights with Prince Piggy in a video game theme, defeating him. Returning to the video's master plot, Perry and the prince dance together and watch a puppet bear witness. Prince Piggy tries to kiss the vocaliser; she slaps him and gets decapitated, just her head is picked up past the version of Perry seen earlier.[21] The clip ends with Perry running with her sword towards the prince and his servants.[xiii]

Reception [edit]

Nina Braca from Billboard chosen it "triumphant",[15] while The Malay Mail said it was "humorous",[16] and Nolfi from Entertainment Weekly described it equally "candy-colored".[20] Direct Lyrics' Kevin Apaza wrote: "Nosotros totally dug this video. We liked the high budget, all the perfect details, the deep message conveyed, and of course Katy's humor too".[21] Ross McNeilage from MTV Great britain similarly praised the video, pointing out its "high-concept" and stating: "The [...] singer'southward visual handling brings the lyrics to life, highlighting its themes of resilience with a plumbing equipment storyline. Despite the serious undertones of defiance, the video is jam-packed with Katy's goofy humour throughout and doesn't take itself too seriously at all."[22] Evan Jorssen of NRJ likened the three women seen in the clip accompanying Perry to characters from the 1993 American one-act horror fantasy film Hocus Pocus and the 1899 French moving-picture show Cinderella.[23] Julien Goncalves of Pure Charts compared parts of the video's concept to Madonna's live performance of "Faddy" (1990) at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards.[xviii] In a negative review, Highsnobiety's Gorsler wrote: "The visuals are, to put it kindly, less than stellar, with over-the-meridian production and a lavishly nonsensical plot making the music video one of the weirdest things to come out this year. But all that is to be expected from an artist similar Katy Perry, who is famous for her eccentricity." He also criticized the heavy product placement and the use of an air horn rap trumpet sound at the kickoff of the video, which "sound[s] like Katy Perry spent a niggling as well much time playing around with Virtual DJ".[11] Vice magazine also slightly criticized the production placement sequences.[19]
