It’s hard to imagine Perry writing the same songs as she did 10 years ago.

Perry did speak about the song’s meaning in an interview with Glamour, and she expressed regret about the track.

She told the magazine, “If I had to write that song again, I probably would make an edit on it. Lyrically, it has a couple of stereotypes in it. Your mind changes so much in 10 years”.
