Pop music (a term that originally derives from an abbreviation of "popular") is a genre of popular music which originated in its modern form in the 1950s, deriving from rock and roll. The terms popular music and pop music are often used interchangeably, even though the former is a description of music which is popular (and can include any style), whilst the latter is a specific genre containing qualities of mass appeal.
As a genre, pop music is very eclectic, often borrowing elements from other styles including urban, dance, rock, Latin and country; nonetheless, there are core elements which define pop. Such include generally short-to-medium length songs, written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), as well as the common employment of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and catchy hooks.
So-called "pure pop" music, such as power pop, features all these elements, utilising electric guitars, drums and bass for instrumentation; in the case of such music, the main goal is usually that of being pleasurable to listen to, rather than having much artistic depth. Pop music is generally thought of as a genre which is commercially recorded and desires to have a mass audience appeal.
Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known by her stage name Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter and actress. Perry grew up with gospel music, and during her first year of high school she pursued a music career as Katy Hudson, releasing her first studio album called Katy Hudson which failed to chart. She recorded a solo album later, which was never released. After signing with Capitol Music Group in 2007, her fourth record label in seven years, she adopted the stage name Katy Perry.
She first gained recognition with the release of her first mainstream album, One of the Boys in 2008, which spawned three Billboard Hot 100 top-ten songs—"I Kissed A Girl", "Hot n Cold" and "Waking Up In Vegas". Perry supported the album with her Hello Katy Tour. In 2010, her third studio album, Teenage Dream (2010), which topped the Billboard 200 chart, and spawned five number one singles—"California Gurls", "Teenage Dream", "Firework", "E.T." and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)"—Teenage Dream was the only album (after Michael Jackson's Bad)—to do so, and the first female in history to achieve this milestone. She embarked on the California Dreams Tour, which grossed nearly $60 million worldwide. Perry re-released the album under the name of Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection on March 26, 2012, and the re-release has already spawned the number-one single "Part of Me".

Talk about,
I never thought i would say this
But it seems i was wrong
Cos since I met you girl
-I've had a feeling that is so strong
It's taken so long to realize what I have
So don't get me wrong when I say this is to you.
{Chorus :}
Your Love is like my favorite pop music
Coming out the radio sound
And if tired I couldn't refuse it
It lifts me when i'm feeling down.
Your touch is like a sweet soul melody
I'm a junkie for your stuff
And since I've been in tune with you girl
I can't seem to get enough.
I was to wrapped up in myself
To notice that you were there
Spent my time in situations
that were leading nowhere
It's taken so long to realize what I have
But now that i know
I wanna spend my life with you.
(Ft Roachford)
Chorus
Your love is like my favorite pop music
Coming out the radio sound
And if I tried I couldn't refuse it
It lifts me when I'm feeling down
Your touch is like a sweet soul melody
I'm a junkie for your stuff
And since I've been in tune with you girl
I can't seem to get enough
Verse
I never thought I would say this
But it seems I was wrong
Cos since I met you girl â I've had a feeling that is so strong
It's taken so long to realize what I have
So don't get me wrong when I say these words to you
Chorus
Your love is like my favorite pop music
Coming out the radio sound
And if I tried I couldn't refuse it
It lifts me when I'm feeling down
Your touch is like a sweet soul melody
I'm a junkie for your stuff
And since I've been in tune with you girl
I can't seem to get enough
