Katy Perry’s on a mission to “break down walls, connect, and inspire.”
Those are the lyrics of her new single, “Chained to the Rhythm,” an anthem about her newfound sense of activism, the activism that drove Perry today to announce a stunning new commitment to help and inspire kids and teens of Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
In conjunction with her upcoming US tour and new album, "Witness," Perry is partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs — and wants Global Citizens to help #WitnessTheFuture.
