Dark Horse
Katy Perry (feat Pitbull) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were gonna come to me
And here you are
But you better choose carefully
โCause Iโm capable of anything
Of anything and everything
Make me your Aphrodite
But donโt make me your enemy, your enemy, your enemy
So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
Cause Iโm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, perfect storm
Cause once youโre mine, once youโre mine
Thereโs no going back
Mark my words
This love will make you levitate
Like a bird
Like a bird without a cage
But down to earth
If you choose to walk away, donโt walk away
Itโs in the palm of your hand now baby
Itโs a yes or no, no maybe
So just be sure before you give it up to me
Up to me, give it up to me
So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
Cause Iโm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, perfect storm
Cause once youโre mine, once youโre mine
Thereโs no going back
Sheโs a beast
I call her Karma
She eat your heart out
Like Jeffrey Dahmer
Be careful
Try not to lead her on
Shawtyโs heart was on steroids
Cause her love was so strong
You may fall in love
When you meet her
If you get the chance you better keep her
She sweet as pie, but if you break her heart
She turn cold as a freezer
That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor
She can be my Sleeping Beauty
Iโm gonโ put her in a coma
Woo!
Damn I think I love her
Shawty so bad
Iโm sprung and I donโt care
She got me like a roller coaster
Turn the bedroom into a fair
Her love is like a drug
I was tryna hit it and quit it
But lilโmama so dope
I messed around and got addicted
So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
Cause Iโm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, perfect storm
Cause once youโre mine, once youโre mine
Thereโs no going back
In the opening lines of the song "Dark Horse," Katy Perry expresses confidence in her ability to handle anything and everything that comes her way. She warns her potential lover to choose carefully, as she has the potential to be a powerful force in his life, either as an Aphrodite figure or as an enemy. The chorus of the song is a challenge to her lover that suggests he might not be ready for what she has to offer. Perry asks, "So you wanna play with magic/Boy, you should know whatcha falling for/Baby do you dare to do this/Cause Iโm coming atcha like a dark horse." The dark horse metaphor suggests that Perry is an unexpected player in the game of love, one that her lover may not be fully equipped to handle. She goes on to describe herself as a beast and as Karma, warning her lover that he shouldn't lead her on if he's not ready for what she has to offer.
While the verses of "Dark Horse" paint Katy Perry as a powerful force to be reckoned with, the chorus and bridge suggest that her lover has the power to choose his own destiny. Perry sings that her love will make her lover levitate like a bird without a cage, but she reminds him that he has the power to walk away if he chooses. The bridge of the song brings the dark horse metaphor full circle, suggesting that Perry's lover must either be all in or all out when it comes to their relationship. She sings, "Itโs in the palm of your hand now baby/Itโs a yes or no, no maybe/So just be sure before you give it up to me/Up to me, give it up to me." Ultimately, "Dark Horse" is a song about the power dynamics of love, and the challenges that come with trying to navigate those dynamics.

Shawtyโs heart was on steroids
Her love was so intense and powerful that it was like a drug

Because her love was so passionate

You might end up falling deeply in love with her
When you meet her
Once you get to know her
If you get the chance you better keep her
If you are lucky enough to have the chance to be with her, don't let her go
She sweet as pie, but if you break her heart
She appears to be soft and gentle, but if you hurt her
She turn cold as a freezer
She can become distant and icy
That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor
The unrealistic expectation of having a perfect partner who will solve all your problems
She can be my Sleeping Beauty
She reminds me of the fairy tale character who slept for a hundred years until she was awakened by a kiss
Iโm gonโ put her in a coma
I will make her fall so deeply in love with me that she will be unaware of anything else
Woo!
Exclamation of excitement
Damn I think I love her
I believe I am falling in love with her
Shawty so bad
She is so attractive
Iโm sprung and I donโt care
I am deeply in love with her and I don't care about anything else
She got me like a roller coaster
She has taken me on an emotional ride that changes frequently and unpredictably
Turn the bedroom into a fair
She makes sex feel like a fun and thrilling experience
Her love is like a drug
Her love is extremely addictive
I was tryna hit it and quit it
I was only interested in having sex with her without any emotional attachment
But lilโmama so dope
She is so amazing and attractive
I messed around and got addicted
I ended up being hooked on her and wanting more than just a physical relationship
