This is a song Perry wrote about escaping her extremely strict Christian upbringing and thinking for herself for the first time.

Song Meaning

LOL...so she rebels by going to the superficial, plastic, materialistic world of Hollyweird and she's somehow "free." She sings about lesbianism and hedonism but she is supposedly free. LOL. Seems to me she just went from one extreme that's more positive and healthy to one that is arrogant, self-serving, selfish, and childish. We've all been there and done that, but some of us actually grow up and become adults. FYI...the woman's vocal quality is questionable.
