By then, however, Hudson had found new musical models in such rock artists as Freddie Mercury and Alanis Morissette, whom she had discovered through friends. She soon moved to Los Angeles to pursue success in the secular music realm, adopting her mother’s maiden name, Perry, to avoid confusion with the actress Kate Hudson. Her album One of the Boys (2008), featuring the hit “Hot N Cold,” sold more than three million copies in the United States. She dedicated the music video to her song “Firework” to the It Gets Better Project. In August 2019, Josh Kloss, Perry’s co-star in the “Teenage Dream” music video, accused her of sexual misconduct. Keith Caulfield of Billboard stated that Perry is “the rare celebrity who seems to have enormous popularity but genuine ground-level interaction with her adoring KatyCats”.

Transitioning from gospel music to secular music, Perry started working with producer Glen Ballard, and moved to Los Angeles at the age of 17. In 2010, she recalled that “Thinking of You” was one of the first songs she wrote after moving to Los Angeles. Her brother David described her as a “tomboy” during her adolescence, which Perry talks about on her song “One of the Boys”. She performed the tracks in front of her parents, who let her take vocal lessons like Angela was doing at the time. Perry primarily listened to gospel music, as secular music was generally discouraged in the family’s home. Perry later recalled a story about how a friend of hers played “You Oughta Know” by Alanis Morissette, which influenced her songwriting and singing.
That September, a limited-edition Scibet Katy Perry doll was produced by Integrity Toys in response to her growing popularity. In addition, after Devine suggested that songwriting team the Matrix become a “real group”, she recorded an album, The Matrix, with them.
