Katy Perry is celebrating the release of her new album, Smile, from her hospital bed.
The Never Really Over singer’s fifth album has arrived into the world just a day after she gave birth to her first child, a baby girl named Daisy Dove Bloom, with fiance Orlando Bloom on Thursday.
Alongside a promo clip of the record, Katy wrote on Instagram: ‘IT’S HERE! IT’S REALLY HERE! I finally got back my smile! Hope this record puts one on your face #SMILE IS OUT EVERYWHERE NOW! LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH ENJOY (sent from my hospital bed lol) (sic)’.

‘I think that song is important to me and important for her.’
Katy previously described her follow-up to 2017’s Witness as ‘75% Prism and 25% Teenage Dream.

She said: ‘I wrote this song a couple months ago as a call to remain true to the course you’ve set for yourself, regardless of what others may think.
‘Recently, it has taken a new meaning for me, in light of what the whole world is experiencing.
‘Each of us is one in more than seven billion, with our own story of strength and resilience to tell… I hope it will be the soundtrack to going for your dreams no … especially the ones we left behind.’
Katy was planning on dropping the record in June, but it was pushed back amid the global health crisis.
