In a new interview, KatyPerry discussed the bleak origins of Daisies and where her mind is when it comes to her next album.
Sometimes the darkest times inspire the brightest blooms. That's definitely the case withThe song, which dropped on Friday morning , is an anthem about surviving the slings and arrows and rising up triumphantly, even after haters try to bury you.
"I wrote this song just like it's another anthem for myself. I came out of a pretty dark time on [2017's]Perry added,"I wrote some of it while I was clinically depressed and trying to find the light at the end of the tunnel. And when I'm writing songs like 'Firework' or 'Roar,' it's not because I'm feeling hunky dory. It's literally because I am having really dark thoughts and trying to come out of it.
Perry said she dove deep into how losing the kind of mass validation she was used to drove her into a dark hole for more than two years, during which she did some"heavy, emotional, psychological lifting." All of that reflection made her re-consider her plans for her upcoming album, which she's still trying to figure out.
As someone who has owned a summer or two, Perry said she knows that the hot weather months are when people want to dance and have fresh pop tunes, something uplifting and inspirational."And I like being associated with those," she said."It comes from a dark place, but we're all going through this same weird tunnel and we're starting to see light at the end of it, but we don't know how many tunnels there's going to be this year. So I have this music. It's done.
