The singer was born in Santa Barbara, California to two pastors and grew up on gospel music and singing in church. Her mother, an evangelical Christian preacher has recently declared that she hates the song.
She said: "It clearly promotes homosexuality and its message is shameful and disgusting. Katy knows how I feel. We are a very outspoken family and she knows how disappointed her father and I are. I can't even listen to that song. The first time I heard it I was in total shock. When it comes on the radio I bow my head and pray."
Katy does have some fans though, and famous ones, The First Lady of pop Madonna told a US radio station that she loves Katy's song Ur So Gay saying it was her "favourite song right now,"
Growing up Katy was only allowed to listen to religious music but she accidentally heard a Queen song at a slumber party. She revealed: "From then on, they have been my biggest influence". Also among her musical influences are Alanis Morissette as well as Heart and Joni Mitchell.
In 2004, Katy worked for the record production team The Matrix, who had previously worked with Avril Lavigne, Liz Phair, KoRn and Britney Spears, among others. Her burgeoning music career led to her being named "The Next Big Thing" in October 2004 in Blender Magazine, where Perry stated she wasn't "a typical Christian", mentioning that she had done "lots of bad things" during her adolescence. One of the tracks she recorded with Ballard, "Simple", was released on the soundtrack of the 2005 film The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.
