Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

When it comes to the hottest social media and video content right now, it’s got to be TikTok.

When it comes to Katy Perry’s iconic song that’s causing a big buzz among teenagers, especially on TikTok, the pop tune from her album One of the Boys surely comes to mind.

With lyrics that compare a romantic relationship to the temperature swing between “Hot” and “Cold,” the track rides a catchy guitar- and synth-driven sound while vividly portraying the heartache of a woman at the mercy of her partner’s fickle behavior.

Skillfully capturing the emotional highs and lows triggered by an unpredictable partner, the song remains fascinating in how it’s enjoying a revival on TikTok in 2024, despite being released back in 2008.
