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 ↴
Coming up all lazy (this is how we do)
Slow cooking pancakes for my boy
Still up, still fresh as a daisy (oh, oh)
Playing ping pong all night long
Everything's all neon and hazy (this is how we do)
Chanel this, Chanel that, hell yeah
All my girls vintage Chanel, baby (oh, oh)
It's no big deal, it's no big deal
It's no big deal
This is no big deal
This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stuntin', yeah, we do it like that

Straight stuntin', yeah, we do it like that
This is how we do, do-do-do-do, this is how we do (oh, oh)
Big hoops and maroon lips
My clique hopping in my Maserati (this is how we)
Santa Barbara chic at La Super Rica
Grabbing tacos, checking out hotties (oh, oh, oh)
Now we talking astrology, getting our nails did
All Japanese-y (this is how we do)
Day drinking at the Wildcats, sucking real bad at Mariah Carey-oke (oh, oh)
