Peppa Pig Earns Her Stripes in Adorable New Cover of Katy Perry’s ‘Roar’: Watch

Peppa Pig may be a small pink barn animal, but she’s still the queen of the jungle.

Marking the cartoon protagonist’s first-ever cover song, Peppa will drop an adorable rendition of Katy Perry‘s “Roar” on Thursday evening (April 11) — because, as she puts it at the beginning of the song’s new lyric video shared exclusively with Billboard, “Even the littlest pig can have the loudest roar.”

The little British pig lets her small-but-mighty voice shine on her cover of “Roar,” which features short cameos from fellow Peppa Pig characters such as Zoë Zebra and Pedro Pony. In the lyric video, Peppa and her friends dress up as superheroes, face off with a fire-breathing dragon and swing from vine to vine in a rainforest inhabited by friendly monkeys.

“I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire/ ‘Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar,” she sings, adding at the end, “A little confidence goes a long way.”

Released in 2013 as a single from Prism, “Roar” spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — a feat Perry has accomplished nine times in her career. Prior to Peppa’s cover, Perry and her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, lent their voices to the characters Ms. Leopard and Mr. Raccoon in the three-part Peppa Pig Wedding Special. Offscreen, Perry and the Pirates of the Caribbean star are parents to 3-year-old daughter Daisy.

Although “Roar” marks the first cover song Peppa has released, the animated star has previously shared music of her own. She’s dropped several albums, including her aptly named 2019 debut My First Album and is known for singles such as “Peppa’s Lullaby” and “Bing Bong Zoo.”
