"Legendary Lovers" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Katy Perry for her fourth studio album Prism (2013). The song was written by Perry, Bonnie McKee, Cirkut, Dr. Luke, and Max Martin, while the latter three also handled its production. Musically, it is a worldbeat song set to a danceable bhangra beat and is influenced by country music, while its instrumentation is composed of tablas, oriental strings, a coral sitar, and a double violin. Its lyrical content combines Eastern philosophy with mild sexual references, expressing "eternal passion" and also referencing the romances of infamous fictional characters and historical figures. The song received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who praised its production but were ambivalent towards its lyrics. With digital down
