Context

This line is from the song "Firework" by Katy Perry, from the album Teenage Dream (2010). 

When an artist has as many #1 hits as Katy Perry, it's sort of hard to pin down her "signature song." Our vote's with "Firework," though. And that's probably what Katy's vote would be, too, since she's often said that this is one of her favorite songs to sing. The video was also great, featuring Katy blazing with fireworks, inspiring everybody from a gay guy to a little girl with cancer to find their own fireworks within. Oh, and for some reason it's shot in Budapest. Yeah, we couldn't tell you why. Watch it and see if you can figure it out.

Where you've heard it

Well, obviously you've heard this ridiculously popular song in all the usual places people hear ridiculously popular songs (i.e., everywhere). These lines also got their own scene in the highly controversial movie The Interview, when North Korean dictator Kim Jung Un reveals his secret love of Katy Perry. Later, James Franco's character uses the lines to make Un cry on live TV. We wonder if this is the scene that made the real Kim Jung Un so mad.

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

For some reason, finding deep meaning in a plastic bag seemed way more pretentious in American Beauty.
