What is Dark Horse about?
🎶 Dark Horse song analysis
Male singer, Juicy J, and Katy Perry sing a song where she expresses her romantic interest in a man she has met. She warns him to choose wisely because she is capable of anything. She encourages him to make her his Aphrodite and his one and only, but not to make her his enemy. She then challenges him to play with magic and warns him of what awaits him if he does. Katy Perry then tells him that if he chooses to walk away, he will regret it. Juicy J then adds his verse, talking about a woman he fell in love with and how her love is like a drug and he can't get enough. The chorus repeats with Katy Perry warning him that once he's hers, there's no going back.
