![]() 'Walking on Air', the album's second promotional single, is an early 1990s-inspired deep house-Eurodance-disco song, inspired heavily by CeCe Peniston and Crystal Waters. Musically, it is a 'fluffy' pop song that is primarily styled in the genre of disco. 'Birthday' was described by Perry as her own attempt at 'writing something Mariah Carey would have put on her first record'. 'Legendary Lovers', a bhangra-based song, deals with the concepts of karma and infinity. Comparisons were established between 'Roar' and 'Brave' by Sara Bareilles. Musically, it contains elements of arena rock and glam rock, while lyrically it is an empowerment anthem. The album opens with 'Roar', a midtempo synth-driven power pop track. McKee, who wrote four songs for Prism, spoke with MTV on the effort, describing it as 'a little bit more grown up' and 'interesting'. Perry described writing sessions with McKee as 'emotional abuse', adding that they argue over the 'best lyric', as if they were fighting in a boxing ring. She affirmed that Wells allowed her to 'vomit words' with Martin, she picked the melodies of the songs Luke mostly helmed the production and she worked with 'topline and melody'. By April 2013, recording for the album was halfway complete, and Perry revealed to ASCAP how was working with such collaborators. She also recruited other collaborators, such as Norwegian team Stargate, Bloodshy, Benny Blanco, Jonatha Brooke and Sia Furler. ![]() After those sessions, she went to Stockholm, where she worked with Scandinavian record producer Max Martin, to do what Perry called 'put the ice on the cake'.

Īfter feeling prepared to record again, she reunited with her team from Teenage Dream-Dr. Perry also viewed a video made by Eckhart Tolle, which discusses loss. The sessions began again in March 2013, following a trip to Madagascar which Perry credited as having 'put priorities in perspective', thus leading her to 'do more work on self'. While Perry started recording the album officially in November 2012, accompanied by Greg Wells and Greg Kurstin, she noted she was still in a 'dark place', and that she had not 'let the light in'. A member of Direct Management Group, Ngoc Hoang, then transcribed the audio files, which he inserted into what Perry described as a 'treasure chest' such object was consulted by Perry later on during the album's recording sessions. She began with a process she deemed 'slow cooking', which consisted of recording random 'fragments of ideas' into her mobile phone's dictaphone application. The development of Prism started when Perry was embarking on the California Dreams Tour. ![]()
