Dark Horse is a 2013 Katy Perry song featuring Juicy J, released on the album Prism and later issued as a single in 2014. Its trap influenced pop sound and Egyptian themed imagery helped it become one of Perry's biggest hits. The line about playing with magic and having no way back has been clipped for edits and remixes, where the short warning works as a sample. Online, the phrase is reused whenever creators need a pop vocal to signal commitment, danger or a dramatic turning point.
