The song is Perryโ€™s first in three years, and will be the NBCโ€™s official Olympics anthem. (Previous songs have included Whitney Houstonโ€™s One Moment In Time).

We love the song itself, but itโ€™s the video โ€“ which includes memorable moments from past Olympic games โ€“ that will have you counting down the days till Rio.

โ€œThis is a song thatโ€™s been brewing inside me for years, that has finally come to the surface,โ€ Perry said of Rise in a statement. โ€œI was inspired to finish it now, rather than save it for my next album, because now more than ever, there is a need for our world to unite.โ€

We love it. See what you think:
