Katy Perry Releases New Single About Superiority Of Canadian Manufacturing

MONTECITO, CA—Signaling a new chapter in her career, pop star Katy Perry released a new single Monday about the superiority of Canadian manufacturing. “When I learned about the strength of Canadian automotive and aerospace manufacturing, I knew I had to put it in a song,” Perry said in an Instagram post accompanying a preview of the new track, which features lyrics such as “Five-fifty billy in exports annually, uh-huh / They makin’ tires in the Annapolis Valley, uh-huh” over a hip-hop-influenced beat and a Max Martin–produced chorus that emphasized the country’s advantages in skilled labor. “I like to write about what’s going on in my life, and right now, I’m definitely in my single, flirty, manufacturing-powerhouse era. British Columbia’s hydrogen fuel cell industry is a whole mood. I hope my KatyCats have as much fun listening to ‘Made In Canada’ as I had recording it.” At press time, Perry announced she would be releasing a new album on Boxing Day.
