Even the tiniest of creatures possess the capacity for profound expression.
Peppa Pig, though diminutive in stature and clad in a rosy hue, asserts her dominance within the wilderness.
In a momentous occasion marking the first instance of the cartoon luminary covering a musical piece, Peppa unveils a charming interpretation of Katy Perry’s “Roar” on the eve of Thursday (April 11). She eloquently states at the onset of the lyric video, exclusively shared with Billboard, “Even the smallest pig can unleash the most formidable roar.”
The diminutive British swine showcases her petite yet potent vocal prowess in her rendition of “Roar,” accompanied by brief appearances from fellow denizens of Peppa Pig’s universe such as Zoë Zebra and Pedro Pony. Within the lyric video, Peppa and her companions don superhero garb, confront a flame-breathing dragon, and traverse a verdant rainforest teeming with amiable primates.
“I possess the gaze of the tiger, embodying resilience, navigating adversities with grace/ For I am a victor, and my proclamation shall resound,” she croons, concluding with the assertion, “A modicum of self-assurance yields significant dividends.”
Originally introduced in 2013 as a single from the album Prism, “Roar” dominated the summit of the Billboard Hot 100 for a fortnight — an accomplishment Perry has attained on nine occasions throughout her illustrious career. Preceding Peppa’s rendition, Perry and her partner, Orlando Bloom, contributed their vocal talents to the characters Ms. Leopard and Mr. Raccoon in the multipart Peppa Pig Wedding Special. Away from the limelight, Perry and the luminary of Pirates of the Caribbean nurture their 3-year-old daughter Daisy.

While “Roar” signifies Peppa’s inaugural foray into cover songs, the animated luminary has previously unveiled original compositions. She has released numerous albums, including her aptly titled debut in 2019, My First Album, and is renowned for tracks such as “Peppa’s Lullaby” and “Bing Bong Zoo.”
