Katy Perry reveals favourite album track

Katy Perry has revealed that she finds one track from her upcoming album to be especially meaningful.

The singer told MTV News that she feels most connected to 'Pearl', which tells the story of a young woman who pushes her lover away.

"I did one more song with [producer] Greg Wells, and it was called 'Pearl'," said Perry. "And it was kind of just like, 'Alright, now I have this crown, and I have all these jewels, and I can put these little jewels into the crown, and I feel like it's a complete presentation, something I'm really proud of'."

'Pearl' was written late in the recording process, but material for Teenage Dream came together much quicker than the star expected.

"It only took six months [to make Teenage Dream], which is like lightning speed. But I think that I wouldn't be starting again with this new record if I didn't feel like this was my best foot forward."

The new CD will provide fans with a snapshot of how the 'I Kissed A Girl' musician has evolved since the release of One Of The Boys over two years ago.

"It's an evolvement, but it's not a disattachment... My life is a little bit different, and I'm taking a verbal snapshot right now."

Perry's new album Teenage Dream will be released on August 24.
