Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" performance at the 2014 Grammy Awards has been criticized by many for its dark theme and portrayal of witchcraft and satanic symbolism. However, even though the somewhat vague song lyrics contain references to love and witchcraft, the meaning behind her "Dark Horse" song may in fact be drug addiction.
"Dark Horse" is track #5 on the album Prism. It was written by Perry, Katy / Gottwald, Lukasz / Martin, Max / Walter, Henry Russell / Hudson, Sarah / Houston, Jordan.
"Dark Horse" ft. Juicy J is track #6 off the album Prism. It was written by Gottwald, Lukasz / Houston, Jordan / Hudson, Sarah Theresa / Martin, Max / Walter, Henry.
