Katy Perry: new single is 'a metaphor'

Katy Perry has said that her new single 'E.T' is a metaphor.

Speaking to Company magazine the singer said: ''E.T' is a metaphor about finding someone who is just obviously not from this world because how could they love me like this?

'Even though it's a metaphor, I'm very interested in all things futuristic. I mean, I complain every day that the Hoverport has still not been invented!

'I think it's absolutely ridiculous. I look out into the sky and to the stars and I feel there is so much out there.'
