Prism, released on October 18, 2013, is Katy Perry's fourth studio album and a radiant celebration of self-discovery, empowerment, and renewal. Following the darker tones of her previous work, Prism marks a shift toward a brighter, more introspective sound, blending uplifting pop anthems with introspective ballads.

The album’s lead single, “Roar,” became an instant anthem of resilience, setting the tone for a record filled with messages of strength and hope. Tracks like “Unconditionally” and “By the Grace of God” showcase Perry's emotional vulnerability, while “Dark Horse,” featuring Juicy J, and “Walking on Air” highlight her willingness to experiment with EDM and trap influences.

With production from Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Cirkut, and others, Prism balances polished pop production with Perry’s knack for infectious hooks and heartfelt lyrics. Its themes of personal growth and positivity are reflective of Perry’s own journey during the album’s creation, making it both relatable and deeply personal.

A commercial success, Prism debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and spawned multiple chart-topping hits, solidifying Perry’s place as a global pop icon. It’s an album that shines with optimism while exploring the complexities of life, love, and self-realization.
