Katy Perry’s first child has arrived, so we’re celebrating the birth of Daisy Dove Bloom by spotlighting the song dedicated to her. “What Makes A Woman” shows the effortless beauty of Katy’s voice, and knowing the lyrics are for her daughter make the song even more special.
According to Billboard, Katy Perry spoke about “What Makes A Woman” on NRJ Lebanon and said it is, “a hope I have for my future child, that she doesn’t have any limits on any of her dreams, or what she wants to be, or who she thinks she is.”
Here’s the album version of “What Makes A Woman.”
Is it the way I talk sweet, the way my skin is soft?
Or how I can be a bitch, and make you keep your fingers crossed?
Is it the way that I praise you, the way that I please you?
Or how fast I change my mind, and get scared that I might leave you?
Could spend your whole life but you couldn’t
Describe what makes a woman
She’s always been a perfect mystery
Could spend your whole life but you couldn’t
Describe what makes a woman
And that’s what makes a woman to me
Is it the way I cut my hair and put no makeup on?
I feel most beautiful doing what the fuck I want
Is it that my intuition is never really off?
I need tissues for my issues and band-aids for my heart
Could spend your whole life but you couldn’t
Describe what makes a woman
She’s always been a perfect mystery
Could spend your whole life but you couldn’t
Describe what makes a woman
And that’s what makes a woman to me
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
That’s what makes a woman to me
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
Oh, yeah, yeah-yeah
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
Is it the way we keep the whole world turning?
In a pair of heels, yeah, that’s what makes a woman
(There it is, Katheryn)
