<P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/perry_katy/artist.jhtml">Katy Perry</a> is showing her soft side on the latest selection from her forthcoming <i>Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection</i> album, which drops March 26. The mid-tempo track, <a href="http://idolator.com/6224091/katy-perrys-wide-awake-listen" target="_blank">"Wide Awake,"</a> reflects on coming down from the "high" of love. </P><P> </P><P>Slower-paced than her first <i>Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection</i> single, <a href="/news/articles/1679507/katy-perry-part-of-me-music-video.jhtml">"Part of Me,"</a> "Wide Awake" is less about the kiss-off and more about the sadness that settles in after a love affair ends. </P><P> </P><P><center><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:750769/cp~vid%3D750769%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A750769" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></center> </P><P> </P><P>Given that Katy recently went through a breakup with her husband, Russell Brand, the lyrics certainly seem relevant to her life. But since "Part of Me" and another <i>Complete Confection</i> track, <a href="/news/articles/1671985/katy-perry-secret-project-album.jhtml">"Dressin' Up,"</a> were recorded long before this re-release, it's hard to tell whether the comedian is actually the intended target. </P><P> </P><P>Co-written by Bonnie McKee, the reflective track has Perry singing, "Thunder rumbling/ Castles crumbling/ I'm trying to hold on/ God knows that I tried/ Seeing the bright side/ I'm not blind anymore." </P><P> </P><P>"I'm <a href="/news/articles/1679282/katy-perry-new-music-deep.jhtml">working with Katy</a> and it's great," McKee told MTV News. "I'm really excited and I think everyone is going to really relate to and love what she's doing next. It's kind of a departure from what she's been doing in the past. We are a great team when we write together because we don't let each other settle; every single line is a philosophical debate. </P><P> </P><P>"She's going through some major life changes," McKee added. "So it's not all about bubble gum and fun. It's real and it's deep and she has a lot to say. So I think people are anxious to hear it." </P><P> </P><P>Perry is set to open up about <i> The Complete Confection</i> during <a href="/news/articles/1681187/katy-perry-part-of-me-music-video-premiere-thursday.jhtml">"MTV First: Katy Perry"</a> on Wednesday, March 21, at 7:23 p.m. ET on MTV. </P><P> </P><P>The singer will also premiere her highly anticipated video for "Part of Me" Wednesday, followed by a 30-minute interview with MTV News' James Montgomery on MTV.com.</p>
