Last week, Backstreet Boys took the Pop Clash title from Pink, but can they score another win when faced against Katy Perry?

Like we said before, Backstreet Boys' 'In a World Like This' takes on an encouraging tone. In the track, the guys acknowledge that there are a lot of hardships in the world and a lot of people cave in -- but not them. In fact, they're free-falling in the best sort of way.

Then there's Ms. Perry, who may be shedding her candy-coated image, but her music is still uplifting. On 'ROAR,' Perry is also sending a positive message, telling the world that NO One can hold her down. Just like 'Firework,' the chorus is anthemic and contagious. And don't even bother trying to cover your ears -- there's no way you can avoid her roar!

Which song leaves you feeling more inspired? Vote for the Backstreet Boys’ ‘In a World Like This’ or Katy Perry's ‘ROAR' below! You can vote once per hour until the poll closes at 3PM ET on Aug. 19. Good luck!

Rules of Pop Clash: The artist and song with the most votes wins, and the winner goes on to face a different challenger the following week. If an artist wins four weeks in a row, they will be retired into the Pop Clash Hall of Fame in order to give others a chance to compete.
