Message from Katy

Hello to everybody listening to Smile

It's Katy Perry

I wanna say a very special hello to all of my incredible beautiful loyal

Encouraging KatyCats all around the world

Thank you so much for being on this journey with me every single time I put out a record

And for being excited and letting the music

Um work its magic on you and for showing up at the shows

And all the little places

And for being such an incredible team and a support system that I can always rely on

I am so incredibly grateful for each and every one of you

And the things that you make online that make me laugh

And the care that you show and all of it I am so profoundly grateful

And that's what a lot of this record is：

It's it's a a record that I never really set out to make

But here we are

You know after continuing my writing process for 2 years

I would get a little message and just be a vessel for

Um different songs or ideas over the past 2 years

And we had many of them so we felt like maybe it should be a record

Maybe the record should be called "Smile"

And it should be about finding your smile once again

Um I don't know about any of you

But sometimes I can feel super low and alone

And really in my head

And be my own worst enemy

And let that horrible negative voice that trickle

Trickles in and out of my of my head take over

And in this past couple of years I've really um tried to work on that

And I think a lot of these songs reflect walking through that process

Walking through that valley and coming out the other end alive

And giving live and um

So I just I'm so grateful you guys are listening

I um I'm excited I wanna know what your favorite songs are

I have one more song that you're about to hear

Um this song is kind of a funny sassy song

Definitely don't @ me when you hear it

But thank you once again for listening to all the songs

I hope these songs are encouraging

And can lift you out of whatever you're feeling

Or give you a little umpfh or

Um give you whatever you need for today

And if you lost your smile

It helps you find your smile again

God bless you

I love you ^[1]
