After singing in church during her childhood , she pursued a career in gospel music as a teenager . Perry signed with Red Hill Records and released her debut studio album Katy Hudson under her birth name in 2001 , which was commercially unsuccessful . She moved to Los Angeles the following year to venture into secular music after Red Hill ceased operations and she subsequently began working with producers Glen Ballard , Dr. Luke , and Max Martin . After adopting the stage name Katy Perry and being dropped by The Island Def Jam Music Group and Columbia Records , she signed a recording contract with Capitol Records in April 2007 . Perry rose to fame in 2008 with her second album , One of the Boys , a pop rock record containing the singles I Kissed a Girl and Hot n Cold . The former track also sparked controversy for its themes of lesbianism . Her third album , Teenage Dream ( 2010 ) , ventured into disco , and was her first record to top the U.S . Billboard 200 . It peaked at number one on the U.S . Billboard Hot 100 with the singles California Gurls , Teenage Dream , Firework , E.T. , and Last Friday Night ( T.G.I.F . ) , while The One That Got Away reached number three on the chart .
Roar is a song by American singer Katy Perry for her fourth studio album , Prism ( 2013 ) . It was released as the lead single from the record on August 10 , 2013 . Perry co-wrote the song with Bonnie McKee and its producers Dr. Luke , Max Martin , and Cirkut . It is a pop song containing elements of arena rock and lyrics centering on standing up for oneself and self-empowerment . To promote the song , Perry performed under the Brooklyn Bridge at the end of the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards , on The X Factor Australia , at the Sydney Opera House in late October 2013 , and on the German TV show Schlag den Raab . Grady Hall and Mark Kudsi directed the song 's music video , which features Perry trying to adapt to the jungle and taming a tiger after surviving a plane crash . Though the song received generally mixed reviews , it was nominated for Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards . The song was a commercial success , topping charts in Australia , Austria , Canada , Ireland , Israel , Lebanon , New Zealand , Scotland , Slovenia , South Korea , the United Kingdom , and the United States . By the end of 2013 , Roar had sold 9.9 million units ( combined sales and track-equivalent streams ) globally according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry ( IFPI ) .

More than 270,000 people petitioned the White House seeking to have him deported from the United States . Although the number of signatures received was sufficient to require a response under published White House guidelines , the Obama Administration declined substantive comment on the petition . Following the controversies surrounding Bieber , his sound became more mature as he transitioned into EDM and drifted away from teen pop . Released in 2015 , his fourth studio album Purpose became his most critically and commercially successful album , spawning three Billboard Hot 100 number one singles : What Do You Mean ? , Sorry , and Love Yourself . It was nominated for Album of the Year at the 59th Grammy Awards .
