But the reality is, it comes from me,\u201d Katy said. &#8220;The truth is, I wrote these songs from my experience of my whole life going through this metamorphosis, and he was one of the people to help facilitate all that. One of the writers, one of the producers. I am speaking from my own experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Katy then shifted the conversation to how &#8220;Women&#8217;s World&#8221; \u2014 co-written and produced by Dr. Luke \u2014 reflects how she feels empowered as a woman and a mother. She concluded, &#8220;So I created all of this with several different collaborators, people that I\u2019ve collaborated with from the past, from the\u00a0<em>Teenage Dream<\/em>\u00a0era. All of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the interview, Katy talked about how, when it comes to men, her &#8220;love language&#8221; is helping around the house. &#8220;I don\u2019t need a red Ferrari \u2026 I can buy a red Ferrari,\u201d she yelled. \u201cJust do the f****** dishes!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
