Singer Katy Perry has some new music in store for fans. The California Girls singer just dropped a cheerful song Smile, which is the title track of her new album.

Over an upbeat, dance-driven groove to match the positive vibes of the lyrics, soon-to-be-mother Katy Perry praises the virtue of perseverance after suffering setbacks in the song.

The American Idol judge also sings that “every day feels like Groundhog Day” and “going through motions felt so fake.” “Ultimately, all the rejection and hard-won lessons pay off, now you see me shining from a mile/Finally got back that smile,” Perry sings on the chorus.  “I wrote the title track from the album when I was coming through one of the darkest periods of my life and had lost my smile,” Perry.
