Katy Perry isn’t delaying her forthcoming fifth studio album because she plans on writing “a whole nother record” after giving birth this summer (2020).
The 35-year-old singer dropped the lead single from her new record, Daisies, on Friday (May 15, 2020), and confirmed an album is set to follow in the next few months.
“I have this body of work and there was a question of, do I wait until next year? And I was like, one thing is for certain, I’m having a child this summer,” the Dark Horse star said in an interview with New Music Daily on Apple Music.
“My whole life is about to change and I’m sure I will have a whole new access to different emotions I never had, and will be able to write from, so I’m going to write a whole nother record probably when that happens.”
Katy added, “I just think that this summer people want music, they want to dance. They might want some uplifting, inspirational anthems. And I like being associated with those.”
Katy is set to perform new song Daisies, and she’ll also give fans a lesson on how to play the song acoustically, during the In The House live stream event via social video chat app Houseparty, which takes place this weekend (May 15-17, 2020).
Tune in to the event, which also features stars including John Legend, Snoop Dogg, 2 Chainz, and Zooey Deschanel, here.
