NBC Sports announced upon the release of "Rise" that it would be prominently featured during its US television coverage of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Perry stated that the track is "a song that's brewing inside me for years, that has finally come to the surface", and wanted to release it as a standalone track instead of including it on an album "because now more than ever, there is a need for our world to unite", referring to the 2016 Nice terrorist attack.

 

It was expected that Katy would perform with the "Rise" ceremony of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, but after performing the song at the Hillary Clinton Democratic Convention, NBC promptly curtailed all promotion.

 

Charts: 

Australia: #1

Canada: #13

France: #3

Scotland: #3

UK: #25

US: #11 (missed 4 points to Top 10 debut)

It should have been a great bridge to the album if she performed at the Olympics. It was in the first places in all the countries of iTunes, but it was poorly released on the radio and in streaming, as an exclusive of Apple Music.

I LOVE Rice, it’s Katy’s most underrated track after Unconditionally

7??

Oh wow, time goes fast 

I think we all knew she was in her flop era when this dropped.

Sia did it better with Unstoppable.

She killed her career

the purity ring remix >>>

The way we didn't what was to come when this dropped, Witness, short hair, pregnancy, Smile 

And ever since Rise, her career has been descending.

The beginning of the end 

I remembered how crazy this song compete with Make Me on iTunes when both released at the same time. It was so much fun, what a time to be alive.

Oh this career killer 

Underrated classic 

The way we can pinpoint where her descent began
