Katy Perry went on the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast and spoke out on why she worked with Dr. Luke on “Woman’s World” and her new album, ‘143.’ Keep watching to find out why!
Katy Perry:
Look, I understand that it started a lot of conversations and he was one of many collaborators that I collaborated with but the reality is it comes from me.
Tetris Kelly:
Katy Perry answered the question many fans have asked since she dropped “Woman’s World” and they saw who was credited as a writer and a producer on the track.
Katy Perry:
I know a lot of people expressed a lot of disappointment and were upset that you chose to involve Dr. Luke on this album. Why did you choose to work with him? The truth is I wrote these songs from my experience of my whole life going through this metamorphosis.
Tetris Kelly:
Most of the flack Katy received was because she chose to work with Dr. Luke on at least five tracks off her new album, ‘143,’ after Kesha brought a sexual assault lawsuit against the producer back in 2014, which he denied and counter sued for defamation. They ended up settling outside of court in 2023.
Katy Perry:
He was one of the people to help facilitate that; one of the writers, one of the producers.
Tetris Kelly:
While Katy didn’t say why she chose to work with Luke specifically on the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast, she ended her statement with this:
Katy Perry:
I created this with several different collaborators. People that I’ve collaborated with in the past; ‘Teenage Dream’ era. All of that.
