Fans across the world are finding themselves quite unmetaphorically chained to the rhythm — also the title of Katy Perry‘s upcoming single — as they are sharing videos on Twitter and Instagram of themselves standing by disco balls chained to various items in different cities.
But why? The disco balls are connected to headphones that play the new Perry single, ahead of its release on Friday (Feb. 10).
