One of the Boys

***One of the Boys*** is the second studio album by pop singer Katy Perry. Four singles were released from it. The album's first single "I Kissed a Girl" was no.1. However, the title track, "Thinking of You", and "Mannequin" were all written by Perry alone. The EP Ur So Gay, containing the song of the same name, was released in 2007 to generate interest in the singer and the album.
