Two Queens of Pop have released new songs ahead of the weekend.
What better way to enjoy a summer weekend than by listening two new songs from two of the biggest women on the planet? Katy Perry and Britney Spears both released new songs on Thursday night: Katy’s is called “Rise” (her first new song in two years) and Brit’s is called “Make Me” featuring G-Eazy (her first since last summer).
Both are available on iTunes. Katy’s is an iTunes Exclusive for the Rio Olympics, but Brit’s is also available on Spotify and other streaming services.

Katy Perry’s ‘Rise’ lyrics
[Verse 1]
I won’t just survive
Oh, you will see me thrive
Can write my story
I’m beyond the archetype
I won’t just conform
No matter how you shake my core
Cause my roots they run deep, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh ye of so little faith
Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it
Victory is in my veins
I know it, I know it
And I will not negotiate
I’ll fight it, I’ll fight it
I will transform
[Chorus]
When, when the fire’s at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They’re whispering, “you’re out of time.”
But still I rise
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final end is near; think again
Don’t be surprised, I will still rise
[Verse 2]
I must stay conscious
Through the menace and chaos
So I call on my angels
They say…
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh ye of so little faith
Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it
Victory is in your veins
You know it, you know it
And you will not negotiate
Just fight it, just fight it
And be transformed
[Chorus]
Cause when, when the fire’s at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They’re whispering, “you’re out of time.”
But still I rise
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final end is near
Think again
Don’t be surprised, I will still rise
[Outro]
Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt
Oh oh
You know it, you know it
Still rise
Just fight it, just fight it
Don’t be surprised, I will still rise
Britney Spears ‘Make Me’ lyrics
[Verse 1: Britney Spears]
Surrounded
I’m dreaming a mile a minute ’bout somebody
This feeling, I wanna go with it, cause there’s no way
We’re hiding away from this tonight, oh, this tonight
Can tell you want me
By the way I see you starin’ ‘cross the room, baby
No shame in the game
Just cut the shit, be honest
Yeah, you know what you gotta do tonight, do tonight
[Pre-Chorus: Britney Spears]
I just want you to make me move
Like it ain’t a choice for you, like you got a job to do
Just want you to raise my roof
Something sensational (oh yeah)
[Chorus: Britney Spears]
And make me oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
And make me oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
[Verse 2: Britney Spears]
No rules
From the butt of the car, let’s take it back to my room
Igniting the heat of the woman; let the sparks fuse
Blowing up to the ceiling, we’re burning bright
When we cross the line
[Pre-Chorus: Britney Spears]
Cause you’re the flame I can’t do without
The fire comes in the sapphire sun
There’s no way I’m gonna be fighting this tonight, this tonight
[Pre-Chorus: Britney Spears]
I just want you to make me move
Like it ain’t a choice for you, like you got a job to do
Just want you to raise my roof
Something sensational (oh yeah)
[Chorus: Britney Spears (G-Eazy)]
And make me oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
And make me oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
[Post-Chorus: Britney Spears (G-Easy)]
Baby, cause you’re the spark that won’t go out
My heart’s on fire when you’re a gun
Make me oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
(Yeah, Eazy)
[Verse 3: G-Eazy]
I don’t care if it’s a random person or the biggest star
Out in Vegas or little bars
Really not a difference if it’s near or far
Listen, here we are; need you
I’ve always wondered what was off limits
Staring at you til I’m caught in this
Back and forth like this was all tennis
I’m all jealous, you came with someone
But we could tell that there’s changes coming
See I could tell that you’re a dangerous woman
That means you’re speaking my language, come on
Now follow me, let’s go
Like Penelope in “Blow”
Well worth the stealing you, it’s a felony, yeah I know
That’s why they keep on telling me to let go, yeah
[Bridge: G-Eazy]
But I need you and I can take you
All the way and I’m able
To give you something sensational, so let’s go, yeah
Said I need you and I can take you
All the way and I’m able
So follow me and I can make you
[Chorus: Britney Spears (G-Eazy)]
And make me oooh (move), oooh, oooh (yeah), oooh
And make me oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
[Post-Chorus: Britney Spears (G-Eazy)]
Baby, cause you’re the spark that won’t go out
My heart’s on fire when you’re a gun
Make me oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Yeah, you make me oooh
