On songwriting:
Usually, you have to write two bad songs to write a good one. When I sit down to make a record, I write 25 or 30 songs, then use 12 to 16 of them. I write a lot of songs in the moment, but I also go back to my binder that I have transcribed from a little tape recorder I keep with me. I look at titles and see if any of that stuff still resonates, and then I go from there. But there's no particular way or format. It's almost like these things just float into my mind.
To be honest I'm not really feeling the Egyptian concept for the Dark Horse video; I really wanted a witchy magical kind-of-video. But, I won't doubt Katy's (or Katy's team) vision, as she always delivers. Can't wait for the video!
Do you think Capitol will start testing other singles from the album? I doubt they'd dare go full on with some song after Unconditionally.
There are several songs that could be safe bets to promote all-out; it simply seems that ballads aren't the best choices for singles for Katy. I don't think they'd hesitate to let songs like "Walking on Air", "Legendary Lovers", or "Birthday" smash.

If I'm being honest, WOA will be lucky to out peak Unconditionally in the U.S.
or the dance one? Hopefully we'll get some leak a la Part of Me
