Katy Perry has just dropped her fantastic new single 'Smile' which comes from her new album due next month - along with her baby girl!

The singer joined Fleur East, James and Producer Matt to talk about her new music, baby names, a Zoom call she had with Carole Baskin, and Kanye West running for US President.

When asked what she thought about the popular rapper running for president, Katy said, "I think you know, what we've learned looking back is that the presidential job is best suited to someone with experience.

"That is, a pro in their field, and I think we've seen and learned from experience, when we don't have pros in position that it can get a little weird."

After her response, James then asked if she'd like to run because that was, "The best political reply EVER!"

Katy went on to say she was fan of Kanye's, "I love Kanye, he's amazing. He's just you know, I love him as an artist," she explained.

Like the UK, much of the US has been in lockdown, and when asked about what she misses about her pre-lockdown life, Katy Perry admitted she wasn't a massive fan of how the world was before Coronavirus, "We were foaming at the mouth, it felt like," Katy admitted, "Just like insatiable and forgot that we were definition human beings and not human doings."

She went on to say, "You have you to find your silver linings in this, or else it's easy to rock yourself in the foetal position. For me, my silver lining has been that I've found more balance, and beauty in the small, the simple, the basic, the day-to-day and the detail and appreciation and gratitude."

Katy has just dropped her brand new song 'Smile' which is featured on her upcoming album due next month and you can hear 'Smile' on Hits Radio.
