The podcast host continued, “I know a lot of people have expressed disappointment and were really upset that you decided to involve Dr Luke on this album. Why did you choose to work with him?”
Katy explained, “Look, I understand that it started a lot of conversations. And he was one of many collaborators that I collaborated with. But the reality is it comes from me.”
“The truth is I wrote these songs from my experience of my whole life going through this metamorphosis. And he was one of the people who helped facilitate all that. One of the writers, one of the producers.”
“I am speaking from my own experience. When I speak about Woman’s World I speak about feeling so empowered now as a mother, as a woman, giving birth, creating life, creating another set of organs, a brain, a heart – I created a whole ass heart! And I did it. And I’m still doing it.”

Katy concluded, “And I’m still a matriarch and feeling really grounded in that. That’s where I’m speaking from. And so I created this with several different collaborators, people I’ve collaborated with in the past from the Teenage Dream era – all of that.”
In 2014, Kesha accused Dr. Luke of sexual, physical and verbal abuse during the ten year period they worked together, however the music producer denied the allegations.
Last year, the pair released a joint statement, announcing that they had reached a settlement, but details of the settlement were not revealed.
