15 years after its release, Katy Perry lamented the ‘stereotypes’ in one of the biggest hits of her discography
It has been 15 years since Katy Perry broke out with his first number 1 hit, “I Kissed a Girl”and I think we can all agree that the single hasn’t aged very well.
With lyrics that state that same-sex kissing is “not what good girls do” and “not how they should behave”, the singer was (reasonably) criticized for trivializing bisexuality years after release, as she was just “playing an ‘experimental game’. And the Perry admits that the song has “some stereotypes”.
To celebrate its cover in the March issue of the magazine Glam in 2018, Perry revisited some of his biggest singles while watching fan covers on YouTube – and talked about his new perspective with “I Kissed a Girl”.
The singer also stated that “your mind changes a lot and you grow a lot”, and “what is true for you can evolve.”
Bisexuality wasn’t talked about as much at that time, nor was any kind of fluidity. If I had to write that song again, I would probably make an edit to it. Lyrically, it contains some stereotypes.
Perry did not specify which letters she would adjust, but the bet would be: “I kissed a girl just to try it / I hope my boyfriend doesn’t mind” It is “It’s not what good girls do.” / It’s not how they should behave.”
