Katy Perry is giving herself permission to be angry.
The 41-year-old Teenage Dream pop superstar previewed an upcoming song “Watch It Burn” in an interview with Justin Tranter for Unfamous The Podcast, out on Wednesday (June 17).
“In ‘Watch It Burn’ I am wrestling with my darkness but last year was pretty tough,” she explained in the preview.
“I have not given myself permission to be angry my whole life over things where I should be f–king angry about. What I’ve done is I pushed it down, but I should be f–king angry. I’m allowed to be angry for a f–king moment,” she continued.
“So instead of falling into’ ‘Woe is me,’ I just was like, ‘Okay, let’s just feel this f–king pain,’ let’s feel this pain, let’s feel this anger and let’s move on, let’s learn from it also,” Katy explained.
You can also hear a preview of the song throughout the clip. The song will be released on June 26, as confirmed by the interview’s description on YouTube.
Katy previously opened up about her difficult year.
She also performed her song “Wonder” off her 2024 album 143 during the Parade of Nations before the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group D match between USA and Paraguay at the Los Angeles Stadium in Los Angeles last week.
Earlier this month, she and Justin made their red carpet debut together at the 2026 Tribeca Festival for the premiere of her new concert film Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour – Live in Paris.
