Electric is a song from Pokémon 25: The Album, an album for the 25th anniversary of Pokémon. It is performed by Katy Perry. A music video starring Katy Perry and her female Pikachu and a younger version of herself played by actress Meili Aspen[1] who owns a Pichu, was released on the same day as the single. An official lyrics video was released on The Pokémon Company International's official English YouTube channel on June 15, 2021.
On May 10, 2021, Katy Perry announced a collaboration with Pokémon for their 25th anniversary[2]. During the first twenty-four hours of release, the video had more than 7.4 million views.[3] On June 7, 2021, a behind-the-scenes of the music video was uploaded on her official YouTube channel.[4]
Music video
The music video was shot in O'ahu, Hawaii in two days during March 2021.[5] The music video is directed by Carlos López Estrada, known for his work as a director in the film Raya and the Last Dragon.
About the video and its collaboration with the Pokémon franchise, Katy gave the following statement[6]:
"When I visited the Pokémon Café while touring Japan, I got so nostalgic. It took me back to my junior high years. So when I got the call to be a part of the 25th anniversary celebration alongside Post Malone and J Balvin, I was elated. The song’s themes—resilience, igniting your inner light—have guided my life and also parallel Pokémon’s story and characters. Pikachu is the evolved form of Pichu, so in the video, you see the younger version of me with Pichu and myself in the present day with Pikachu. We both evolve, yet retain a sense of playfulness."
During the first twenty-four hours, the video had more than 7.4 million views.[7] On June 7, 2021, Katy Perry herself released the video with the making of the music video.[8]
Plot
Katy and her Pikachu head to a lighthouse. They then managed to travel in time and find a younger version of her and Pichu trying to establish herself as a singer. The adult Perry tries to draw the attention of her younger version to various events that would lead her not to give up her dreams and look for her own style. In the end, the young Perry attended her first show in a talent contest. After the performance, the adult Perry returns to the present day with Pikachu.

Lyrics
(Electric)
In the dark when you feel lost
Wanna be the best but at what cost
If you're gonna stay here
Nothing's ever changing, no
Big world gotta see it all
Gotta get up even when you fall
There's no point in waiting, no
Ohhh
They'll try to bring you down
Ohhhh
But you've got the power now
I know you feel it, feel it
If you believe it then you can
There's no reason that this life can't be electric
Oh I can see it, see it
If you believe it then you can
There's no reason that this life can't be electric
Long road got a ways to go
Took a big step but you're not alone
Cause we got each other
There's so much you'll discover
Headstrong but your heart is stronger
Stay calm walking through the fire
I know you're gonna make it out
Ohhh
They'll try to bring you down
Ohhhh
But you've got the power now
I know you feel it, feel it
If you believe it then you can
There's no reason that this life can't be electric
Oh I can see it, see it
If you believe it then you can
There's no reason that this life can't be electric
Ohhh
They'll try to bring you down
Ohhh
You're electric right now (Electric)
Ohhh
But you've got the power now
You've got the power now
(Electric)
You've got the power now
Wooow yeah
I know you feel it, feel it
If you believe it then you can
There's no reason that this life can't be electric
Oh I can see it, see it
If you believe it then you can
There's no reason that this life can't be electric
Ohhh
They'll try to bring you down
Ohhh
You're electric right now (Electric)
Ohh
But, you've got the power now
Ohhh
You've got the power now
You've got the power now
