"Peacock" is a song by American recording artist Katy Perry, taken from her third studio album, Teenage Dream (2010). Because the song was filled with suggestive lyrics pertaining to male genitalia, Perry's record label initially went against the idea of including it on her record. Similar to what happened with another song of hers – "I Kissed a Girl" (2008) – she refused. "Peacock" was met with generally negative reviews and, musically, was compared to the 1980s hit "Mickey" by Toni Basil, and Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" (2005).
The song performed well on music charts worldwide. Its least successful charting territory was the United Kingdom, while it performed best in the US, topping Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs chart for a week, is the third song on the album overall to reach the top of the chart. Perry has performed "Peacock" on several occasions, including during her 2011 world tour California Dreams Tour. When performing the track, the singer usually wears colorful or glittery clothing.
