It has been approximately three years since Katy Perry's last album was released. The latest album to her name was 'Witness', which included hits 'Swish Swish' and 'Bon Appetit'. Since then, she has released music singles such as 'Never Really Over', 'Harleys in Hawaii', 'Small Talk', and 'Never Worn White'. Although there has not been a large push of music from the artist, her career has not taken a stand still. She has been an American Idol judge since 2017 alongside co-stars Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan. Outside of her career, in the past year Katy announced her engagement to Orlando Bloom and her pregnancy through her premiered video of 'Never Worn White' on March 5th, 2020. Her life has progressed with or without the current circumstances the world is in.

Her latest music has taken steps away from the pop upbeats we have grown used to. 'Never Really Over' still had the same pop vibes her music has brought in the past, but her two latest singles have been more demure. 'Never Worn White' is calm and uplifting with the new stages of her life that has begun this year. It's a pop ballad that's reminiscent of her song 'Not Like the Movies', yet it rings more heartfelt than the 2010 song. 'Never Worn White' depicts the growth that Katy Perry has endured in the past decade. It has a hopeful intrigue for anyone who embarks on their own relationship this year and takes those next steps. Her latest single, 'Daisies', has the same uplifting and sunny outlook.

'Daisies' has a soft ballad approach to the idea of success in life. 'Daisies' has a familiar feel from her album 'Prism' that she released in 2013. Most of the songs from her fourth studio album were soft and inspirational. Songs that best represent this theme are 'Unconditionally', 'Legendary Lovers', and 'Love Me'. Her newest single is a ballad we may listen to, so we may remind ourselves of the achievements we as individuals have reached. Katy Perry has created a song that encourages creativity and hope for those in need of more dreamers. This is a soft-spoken power ballad to have during this time of COVID19. It can be one of the shining lights we can look to during this time. It may be the beginning taste of what is to come with her next album.

Fans and other music lovers alike can look toward to her upcoming album in August. She has taken us on her journey of life for the past decade and continues to do so. Her music has developed as she embarks her next steps of life. We can look forward to seeing the next evolution of her music as she becomes a mother and wife.
