Fact of the matter is, she works with teams of songwriters so it is hard to know what she does and does not write. That's just the truth. I don't think it's a stretch to think that someone who needs several big-name songwriters' help isn't all that involved in their writing like they claim.
But again, it's all an opinion.

I've personally seen you getting clocked on this topic but fine, let's post the receipts again.

- A good day at work. We made the music, she made "topline", ie text, melody and concept, and I would say that it shows that she is at the top level what songwriting is concerned, says Hermansen.
I do not think people are aware of how skilled she is at it. She has worked with Max Martin and Dr. Luke, and then it is not always easy to know who really wrote the songs. But when we met her, it was clear to us what a talented and purposeful songwriter she is.

Then Bonnie and Katy tweaked the melody and put lyrics to it. The whole concept of empowerment – that vibe and essence – was there, but they came up with the lyrical content and the title ‘Roar.’ Also the wordless tag at the end of the chorus, Katy and Bonnie interwove that into the melody and made that a choppy, repetitive thing. I know people sometimes think the artist didn’t have anything to do with the writing, but Katy’s a great songwriter; she’s very hands-on. She knows what she likes, what sounds she’s going for, and is deeply involved in the creation of her music.

Having worked closely with her for over ten years on all of her albums, I can attest that Katy Perry writes all of her own songs.
She's smart enough to collaborate with other great writers, but anyone who works with her can tell you Katy drives the ship. She writes the melodies, the lyrics, has the song concept months before writing it, tells the producers what the tracks should sound like, what they shouldn't sound like, and is the real deal.

Any many, many more of these same stories.
Not that you've been personally educated by me on her songwriting input, I hope you're capable enough to remember it and think twice before your next desperate attempt on this matter. If not, I'll be kind and direct you to this post.
