After singing in church during her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music as a teenager. Perry signed with Red Hill Records and released her debut studio album Katy Hudson under her birth name in 2001, which was commercially unsuccessful. She moved to Los Angeles the following year to venture into secular music after Red Hill ceased operations and she subsequently began working with producers Glen Ballard, Dr. Luke, and Max Martin. After adopting the stage name 'Katy Perry' and being dropped by The Island Def Jam Music Group and Columbia Records, she signed a recording contract with Capitol Records in April 2007.
Perry rose to fame in 2008 with her second album, One of the Boys, a pop rock record containing the controversial U.S number one song "I Kissed a Girl" and "Hot n Cold". Three subsequent albums have topped the U.S. Billboard 200. The disco-influenced Teenage Dream (2010) spawned five chart-topping U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles–"California Gurls", "Teenage Dream", "Firework", "E.T.", and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" — a record tying her with Michael Jackson's "Bad". Its follow-up record Prism (2013) was inspired by her divorce, and incorporates pop and dance along with themes of self-reflection, everyday life, and relationships. With the music videos for its chart-topping songs "Roar" and "Dark Horse", Perry became the first artist to have multiple videos reach one billion views on Vevo. Her 2017 electropop album, 'Witness' featured a political subtext and a theme of liberation. Her sixth studio album 'Smile' followed in 2020.
Perry has nine U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number one singles and has received various awards, including four Guinness World Records, five Billboard Music Awards, five American Music Awards, a Brit Award, and a Juno Award. She has been included in the annual Forbes lists of highest-earning women in music from 2011 to 2019. Her estimated net worth as of 2016 is $125 million. Perry is one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 18 million albums and 125 million singles worldwide. In film, she released an autobiographical documentary titled "Katy Perry: Part of Me" in 2012, and voiced Smurfette in the 2011 film The Smurfs and its sequel in 2013. Her Super Bowl halftime show performance is the most watched in history. Perry also began serving as a judge on American Idol in 2018.

Katy Perry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, the o-o-o-o-o-o-o-one
Uh-huh, baby you're a California girl
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I will be young forever
Teenage dream, the way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and don't ever look back, don't ever look back
My heart stops when you look at me
Just one touch, now baby I believe this is real
So take a chance and
Don't ever look back, don't ever look back
I'mma get your heart racing in my skin tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me in my skin tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Yeah!
I know a place
Where the grass is really greener
Warm, wet and wild
There must be something in the water
You could travel the world
But nothing comes close to the golden coast
Once you party with us
You'll be falling in love
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
California girls, we're unforgettable
Daisy dukes, bikinis on top
Sun kissed skin, so hot, we'll melt you popsicle
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
California girls, we're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it on lock
West coast represent, now put your hands up
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were
The one that got away, the one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-o-o-one, the one (x3)
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were
The one that got away
There's a stranger in my bed
There's a pounding in my head
Glitter all over the room
Pink flamingos in the pool
I smell like a mini bar
D J's passed out in the yard
Barbie's on the barbecue
This a hickie or a bruise?
Pictures of last night ended up online
I'm screwed, oh well
It's a blacktop blur
But I'm pretty sure it ruled
Last Friday night
Yeah we danced on table tops
And we took too many shots
Think we kissed but I forgot
Last Friday night
Yeah we maxed our credit cards
And got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard
Last Friday night
We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a menage a trois
Last Friday night
Yeah I think we broke the law
Always say we're gonna stop, oh whoa oh
This Friday night, do it all again

You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil
Could you be an angel
Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I am floating
Leaves my body glowing
They say be afraid
You're not like the others
Futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you
You're from a whole nother world
A different dimension
You've opened my eyes
Now I'm ready to go
Lead me into the light
Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your lovin
Fill me with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be your victim
Ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural, extraterrestrial
Do you ever feel
Like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again
Do you ever feel
Feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in
Do you ever feel
Already buried deep
Six feet under screams
But no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the 4th of July
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show em what you're worth
Make em go oh oh oh
When you shoot across the sky-y-y
Boom boom boom even brighter than the moon moon moon
Boom boom boom even brighter than the moon moon moon
Katy Perry's hit song, Tommie Sunshine's Megasix Smash-Up, takes the listener on a journey through different moods and emotions. The opening lines of the song welcome the listener to embark upon a journey, possibly hinting towards a journey of self-discovery or simply a night of revelry. The song then transitions into an upbeat tempo with Perry singing about being a California girl and inviting her partner to live life without any regrets, dancing and having fun. The song then takes an introspective turn with Perry contemplating what could have been “in another life.” She expresses a feeling of longing for a relationship that could have been perfect, but wasn’t. The song picks back up to Perry recounting wild events from a previous Friday night, where she and her friends seemingly danced on tables and participated in a menage a trois. The song ends on a high note by Perry reminding the listener to let their “firework” shine bright.

Kiss me, k-k-kiss me

Infect me with your lovin
Make me fall in love with you
Fill me with your poison
Metaphorically poison me with your love, which I cannot resist
Take me, ta-ta-take me
Take me, take me, take me away
Wanna be your victim
I want to be your captive
Ready for abduction
I am ready to be taken away
Boy, you're an alien
You are like an alien to me
Your touch so foreign
Your touch is something I am not used to
It's supernatural, extraterrestrial
It's supernatural, like something from another planet
Do you ever feel
Do you ever feel
Like a plastic bag
Like a plastic bag that blows around in the wind
Drifting through the wind
Blowing aimlessly in the wind
Wanting to start again
Wanting to begin anew
Feel so paper thin
Feeling frail and weak
Like a house of cards
Like a house of cards that is about to topple over
One blow from caving in
One push from breaking apart
Already buried deep
Already in too deep
Six feet under screams
Dead and buried, with no one hearing your screams
But no one seems to hear a thing
But no one seems to care or notice
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Do you know that there is still hope for you
Cause there's a spark in you
Because you have something special within you
You just gotta ignite the light
You just need to light up the way
And let it shine
And let your true self shine through
Just own the night
Take control of the night
Like the 4th of July
Like the celebration of the 4th of July
Cause baby you're a firework
You are amazing, like a firework
Come on show em what you're worth
Show them how valuable you really are
Make em go oh oh oh
Make them go oh oh oh
When you shoot across the sky-y-y
When you flash across the sky
Boom boom boom even brighter than the moon moon moon
Explosive and bright, transcending even the moon itself

album of the decade
@smithsunleashed
yes! i checked bilboards top 100 albums of the decade and teenage dream was on 14 which was amazing but I believe it should come to the top ten. and Invasion of privacy was before katy which is not fair because katy was the only female artist to have six hot singles in one album
