"Bon Appétit" is a song by American singer Katy Perry featuring American hip-hop group Migos from Perry's fifth studio album Witness (2017). It was released as the album's second single on April 28, 2017, by Capitol Records. The song was written by Perry and the Migos themselves, alongside Ferras and the song's producers, Max Martin, Shellback, and Oscar Holter. The song was recorded at MXM Studios and Unsub, both based in Los Angeles, and Wolf Cousins, based in Stockholm, Sweden. It is a dance-pop, trap-pop, electronic, and Eurodisco song, with lyrics that feature oral sex double entendres involving food.

Upon its release, the track received mixed reviews from music critics, who complimented the production but panned the lyrics. Commercially, the song charted within the top ten in Bulgaria and Israel, the top twenty in Canada, Panama and Wallonia, and the top thirty in Scotland, the Philippines, Slovakia, and the Netherlands. The song is certified Diamond in Brazil, and Platinum in Australia, Italy, Mexico, and the United States.

An accompanying music video followed on May 12, 2017, and features Perry being prepared and served by chefs as a dish. It received 16,000,000 views within 24, beating Adele's "Hello". The song won a Vevo Certified Award in 2017 and a TASTE Award in 2018, the latter for Song of the Year. It's music video was nominated in the Best Video at the 2017 MTV Europe Music Awards, the Best Art Direction category at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, and the Video of the Year category at the 2017 Telehit Awards. The video eventually won in the Best International Female Video category at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards Japan.
