Katy Perry Singles:
thumb|left| "Trust in Me" is the debut single released by pop singer Katy Perry, written by Katy Perry and Mark Dickson for her debut gospel album, Katy Hudson. The song is produced by Otto Price. The song served as the lead single to the self-titled album. On Katy Hudson's old website, she explained the story behind the song, saying:"This was my first try at songwriting. I was feeling a little depressed at the time, and was thinking about all the things I'd done wrong. I felt like I was oil and God was water, and I just wouldn't mix. I started writing about this and God placed a peace in my heart. I really felt He was saying, "Don't worry child, trust in me." I just had to open my heart to the healing process. It's funny how sometimes we think that we can be so horrible that God would turn His back to His own. I guess we will never really understand His mercy until we see His Glory." This was Katy Perry's first song from her self-titled album, Katy Hudson thumb|right| "Ur So Gay" is the second single released by pop singer Katy Perry, produced by Greg Wells and engineered by Drew Pearson. The song was Perry's first major label release, and was later placed on her major label album, One of the Boys. Capitol Records offered the song as a free download on their website. The song failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100. When asked about her debut single, Perry said the song was a "soft hello". The song "wasn't meant to be a big single or show what the album is going to be all about. That was for my Internet bloggers, so I'm not coming out of nowhere." Perry's A&R Chris Anokute confirmed this by saying that they had no plans for radio coverage but just wanted to put this "novelty" song out online as an introduction to see "what the attraction was". As expected, sales were low but Anokute said the single did well in terms of building a press story. For the release of the single, Perry's label told her to include a cover. She originally wanted to cover a Queen song, but couldn't think of a particularly club-worthy song. While at a club with her friends, The Outfield's "Your Love" was played. Perry said that when the song came on, every girl in the place went onto the dance floor, and she wanted to have that same effect. The song's lyrics have been described in a positive review as "eighteen different kinds of wrong". The song itself has been described as an "emo-bashing anthem that's either horribly homophobic, a sly piece of social commentary or, possibly, both." The St. Petersburg Times writes that the "boyfriend-skewering...isn't homophobic, but it does pummel straight guys who can't handle her edge."Some critics, however, conclude the song is homophobic. Ugo.com says the song settles for "catchphrase-homophobia" while Allmusic describes the lyrics as "gay-baiting". Simon Amstell sardonically commented on Katy Perry's use of the phrase that "if you think that's homophobic, you should just Jew off and stop being so bloody black about it!" on an episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks. The video was directed by Walter May.[8] In the video, Perry plays the song in front of a bright cartoon-like background with clouds that have smiley faces on them. The characters in the video are played by Fashion Royalty dolls. thumb|left|
