KortneyKaty Perry spoke with Mikey Piff of SiriusXM Hits 1 about how she and Orlando told their family and friends she’s pregnant, how she felt it was the right time to have a baby, “Never Worn White,” how her journey since the release of “Witness” has inspired her writing for her upcoming album and more.
Though Perry hasn’t announced a release date for her album just yet, she told SiriusXM Hits 1 that she’s very excited for what’s ahead. “There are so still so many songs left to write. For me, this [album] will be an accumulation of a period of time since I put out the last record, and that process to now of just how I got to this spot,” she said.
“It’s been a rollercoaster, it’s been peaks and valleys, it’s been really bad and I’ve come out the other end. I’ve survived it and I have a lot to show that’s positive from it and that’s ‘cause I fought. And I think that’s what this next album really reflects – that journey,” Perry explained.
“I think there’s gonna be a lot of songs that people will hopefully feel empowered by, because a lot of times, I’m writing those empowering songs when I’m in the worst place in my life. It’s like me speaking to myself. When I wrote ‘Firework,’ it’s because I’m like, ‘Katy, you have no other option but to put one foot in front of the other, or continue living, or to see your self worth or you are enough.’ It’s like my inside cheerleader going, ‘You can do this.’ And all of a sudden it becomes a song.”
