[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a while
But now I got back that smile
I'm so thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile, that smile

[Pre-Drop]
That smile, that smile, smile, that smile
Back that smile, that smile, smile, that
Finally got back that smile, that smile, smile, that smile
Back that smile, that smile, smile

[Drop]
Yeah, I'm thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a while
But now I got back that smile
I'm so thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile
(Oh-oh)
(Oh-oh)
Finally got back that smile
Finally got back that
(Oh-oh)
(Oh-oh)
Finally got back that smile
Finally got back that

[Verse 1]
Every day, Groundhog Day
Goin' through motions felt so fake
Not myself, not my best
Fеlt like I failed the tеst

[Pre-Chorus]
But every tear has been a lesson
Rejection can be God's protection (Alright)
Long hard road to get that redemption
But no shortcuts to a blessin'

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a while
But now I got back that smile
I'm so thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile, that smile

[Pre-Drop]
That smile, that smile, smile, that smile
Back that smile, that smile, smile, that
Finally got back that smile, that smile, smile, that smile
Back that smile, that smile, smile

[Drop]
Yeah, I'm thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a while
But now I got back that smile
I'm so thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile
(Oh-oh)
(Oh-oh)
Finally got back that smile
Finally got back that
(Oh-oh)
(Oh-oh)
Finally got back that smile
Finally got back that (Oh)

[Outro]
I'm so thankful (Oh-oh)
'Cause I finally, 'cause I finally
Oh (Oh-oh)
I'm so grateful (Oh-oh)
'Cause I finally, 'cause I finally
(Oh)
(Oh-oh)
Finally got back that smile
Finally got back that
(Oh-oh)
(Oh-oh)
Finally got back that smile

Katy Perry

Katheryn Elizabeth “Katy” Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known by her stage name Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter, businesswoman, philanthropist, and actress. She was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California. Having had very little exposure to mainstream pop music in her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music as a teen and released her debut self-titled studio album in 2001. She also recorded a second solo album in 2005, (A) Katy Perry, which was scrapped.

Afterwards, Perry (her mother’s maiden name, taken to avert confusion with Kate Hudson) reinvented herself as a party girl pop star, breaking out with 2008’s One of the Boys and the #1 hits “I Kissed a Girl” and “Hot n Cold”.

Follow-up Teenage Dream (2010) equalled Michael Jackson’s record of five chart-toppers on the same album, and made Perry even more ubiquotous in the pop landscape. Following her marriage and eventual divorce from British comedian Russell Brand, she released an updated version, Teenage The Complete Confection and concert film Katy Part of Me in 2012. She released her fourth album, Prism, in 2013, along with some standalone singles, such as “Rise”.
