Katy Perry is the latest celebrity to jump on the boring-average-person-bandwagon (we\'re looking at you, Jennifer Lawrence), as she\'s admitted she has therapy to \'stay normal\'.

Admitting the music industry can be overwhelming, Katy explained on Elvis Duran\'s radio show: "I go to therapy, I don\'t get excessive on the substance, I\'ve kind of learned that dance... it\'s difficult in this industry.

She\'s also recording again after taking a few years off, and despite her relationship with Orlando Bloom and his nude dong, Katy admitted she\'s having trouble writing "super sexy songs".

"You know it\'s funny, I think I have a really hard time writing super sexy songs," she mused. "The other day I was like, \'I\'m going to write a song about sex!\'

"I did it, and I think it\'s really great, because I still have sex and I like to write about all my life experiences! But I think I was put on this earth to lift people up and elevate people and do that through my messages, quite frankly.

"For me, it takes a bit of time [to write] because I have to have those experiences and then write about them. Or I have to digest whatever I\'m seeing or perceiving and recycle it and kind of give my perspective on it."

Talking about her upcoming album, Katy said she\'s working with "unexpected writers and producers" and that it\'s brought "out a lot of different things sonically".

It\'s starting to feel like a lifetime since Katy\'s 2013 album 

, so Digital Spy has laid out all we know so far about her approaching record, including release date, songs, tour dates, credits and just about everything else.
