Katy Perry condemned the White House's use of her hit song "Firework" in a TikTok video featuring footage of military strikes, saying she neither approved the use nor supports the message it conveyed.

"I am deeply appalled and angry to see 'Firework' used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes.

I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it," Perry wrote Friday in a post on X.

The pop singer said pairing the song with images of military action contradicted the meaning behind one of her signature hits.

"To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for," Perry continued.

"My music has always been about resilience, hope, and finding the light even in our darkest moments.

"That message belongs to the people who need it most, not to the glorification of war," Perry wrote.

The White House posted a video on its official TikTok account on July 23 using the 2010 song as a backing track, with the lyrics "boom boom boom" playing over footage of military strikes and the caption "Iran has been warned."

Released in 2010 as part of Perry's album "Teenage Dream," "Firework" became one of the biggest hits of her career.

The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart and has long been associated with themes of empowerment, perseverance, and self-confidence.

It has frequently been used at public celebrations, charitable events, and campaigns promoting personal resilience.

The singer did not indicate whether she planned to pursue legal action over the video's use of "Firework."

Her statement focused instead on what she described as the misuse of a song intended to inspire hope.

"My music has always been about bringing people together," Perry wrote. "I will always stand by that message."
