Katy Perry has written songs about the truth inside her

  • May 2, 2013
  • Darren Sharp

katy_perry'If You Can Afford Me' hitmaker Katy Perry talked to Press Party about what the songs on her new album will be like.

"Maybe I'm not specific with names, but that's my lockbox where all my secrets go," she explained.

"Writing is like therapy. [My songs] stem from the truth inside of me. I just want songs to be relatable, and to be adopted as someone else's soundtrack."

Katy has pre­vi­ously said that she's about half way done recording with the likes of Dr Luke, Max Martin, Greg Wells, Sia, Greg Kurstin, and Bonnie McKee, so this record is likely to be quite good, isn't it.
