It’s been quite a day for Katy Perry. The Cleopatra-tastic video for her all-conquering number one hit “Dark Horse” finally arrived and she also shared a new urban remix of the song, which is essentially the same as the original but features an additional verse from rapper Juicy J.

“This is more than a case of friends with benefits, she’s Cinderella ’til you lead her on — from a good girl to a wicked witch,” raps the MC before Katy returns with that spectacular chorus and her trap-pop verses. It’s an interesting experiment that might widen the track’s appeal on urban radio formats but is ultimately a reminder of how great the original version is. Listen after the jump.
