<p id=”par-1_72″>In 2020, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/katy-perry/?swcfpc=1″>Katy Perry</a> became the parent to her first <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/celebrity-kids/?swcfpc=1″>daughter</a>, Daisy Dove Bloom. In the years since then, her daughter has shown an interest in her music career, watching her concerts and singing her songs around the house. The latter, Perry said, has become a bit of a problem. She shared why having a child of her own made her want to apologize to other parents for one of her songs. </p>

<p id=”par-2_73″>In 2020, Perry gave birth to Daisy Dove, a daughter she <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/katy-perry-orlando-blooms-engagement-fragile-psychologist-says-marriage-complex.html/”>shares with actor Orlando Bloom</a>. Now that Daisy is a toddler, she has begun to sing her mother’s songs around the house. While one of her favorites is 2013’s “Roar,” she has also become a fan of the 2010 song “Peacock.” The song is full of suggestive lyrics and innuendo, to the point where Perry’s label did not want to release it.</p>

<p id=”par-3_25″>Perry insisted on keeping it on the album <em>Teenage Dream.</em> Years later, though, she apologized to parents who may have heard their children singing it.</p>
<p id=”par-4_38″>“[My daughter] actually just started singing ‘Roar,’” Perry said on BBC’s <em>The One Show</em> (via <a target=”_blank” href=”https://people.com/katy-perry-daughter-daisy-is-obsessed-with-one-of-her-nsfw-songs-8684476″ rel=”noreferrer noopener”>People</a>). “On the flip side, she’s also singing ‘Peacock,’ and now I know what every parent went through in 2008. And I’m sorry!”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-she-described-her-daughter-as-her-soulmate”>She described her daughter as her soulmate</h2>
<p id=”par-5_21″>Perry has spoken often about how much being a parent means to her. She said she considers her daughter her soulmate.</p>
<p id=”par-6_40″>“It is funny how sometimes you’re looking for your soulmate in a partner,” she said, per <a target=”_blank” href=”https://uk.news.yahoo.com/katy-perrys-daughter-her-soulmate-220000943.html” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Yahoo!</a> “It could be a dog, your mom, your best friend, your cat … but for me it came in the form of Daisy.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_30″>She explained that she wrote the song “Lifetimes” from her <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/katy-perry-freaking-pointing-fingers-womans-world-backfiring-source-says.html/”>upcoming album <em>143</em></a><em> </em>about her child. The title is a reference to something they say to each other every night.</p>
<p id=”par-8_34″>“I wrote ‘Lifetimes’ about her,” Perry said. “Every night before we go to sleep I say, ‘I love you’, and then I ask, ‘Will you find me in every lifetime?’ and she says, ‘Yes’.”</p>

<p id=”par-9_36″>Perry’s music career has been hugely important to her, but she doesn’t necessarily hope that her daughter will follow in her footsteps. Her primary hope is that Daisy is happy in whatever her chosen path is.</p>
<p id=”par-10_38″>“I care about whatever she wants to do. No pressure. Just whatever makes her happy,” Perry said on <em>The List with Debbie D </em>(per <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.eonline.com/news/1401630/katy-perry-reacts-after-daughter-daisy-calls-her-by-stage-name” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>E! News</a>). “She’ll probably be artistic in some way. She’s gonna be a leader.”</p>

<p id=”par-11_13″>One of her hopes is that Daisy Dove lives up to her name.</p>
<p id=”par-12_48″>“I like the alliteration of the DD,” she said. “But Dove is peace, I want her to be a peace maker. Even though she is just wild and fun and crazy, I just think there’s a peace that I want to surround her and for her to exude.”</p>
