14 DAY TRIAL // Katy Perry debuted “Roar” a few weeks back, and it came to confirm, once more, that she was one of the biggest female pop stars of the moment. As it turns out, it couldn’t have happened without John Mayer.
Katy and John have had a rather tumultuous relationship (I lost count of how many times they broke up and got back together) but, right now, they’re back on again.
In one of their breaks, Katy sat down to vent and, this way, came up with “Roar,” she admits in a new interview cited by SFGate.
“Roar is a song I wrote as I was a little bit upset. I found myself having a break with my boyfriend, who I loved very much and it really hurt my heart. I said to myself, ‘I need to see what is going on with me and make sure I’m all good’,” Katy explains.
“When you break up with someone it’s easy to say they are crazy and think it’s all them, but, honestly, maybe there is 50 percent responsibility on your behalf. It was just time for me to be honest with myself,” she adds.
She doesn’t mention Mayer by name but, seriously, who else could she be talking about?
