I love this interview, especially Steve's thoughts & feelings about the song ~ "Perry admits to getting choked up over the song, with its powerful chorus. "The lyric is a strong lyric about not giving up, but it's also about being young, it's also about hanging out, not giving up and looking for that emotion hiding somewhere in the dark that we're all looking for.
