Lyrics & Translation
Learning a new language can be a year-round adventure, just like the love expressed in Zedd and Katy Perry's "365." This song offers a great opportunity to explore the language of modern pop music, with its repetitive and catchy chorus making it easy to learn key phrases about love and desire. The contrast between the straightforward lyrics and the complex, futuristic narrative of the music video also provides a unique cultural insight into storytelling in pop.
