Katy Perry is no stranger to heartbreak and she has plans to spill her heart out in her new album. 

MTV reports that the 28-year-old singer is using past romances and other significant events as a source of inspiration for her album. She explains that she will not be naming names on the record.

"Maybe I'm not specific with names, but that's my lockbox where all my secrets go," Perry explained at an ASCAP event. "Writing is like therapy. My songs stem from the truth inside of me. 

"I just want songs to be relatable, and to be adopted as someone else's soundtrack."

The Billboard award-winning singer could potentially find inspiration in her marriage to Russell Brand, which ended back in 2011 after 14 months. Since her divorce has been finalized, Perry recently dated John Mayer however that relationship ended earlier this year. 

This would not be the first time Perry has included former loves in her music. In 2010, she released "Circle the Drain" which was rumored to be about her former boyfriend, Gym Class Heroes front man Travie McCoy. 

The singer revealed that the album is only half way finished and could not offer any insight over details behind the album so her faithful followers must patiently wait for her new music. 

This will be Perry's first album since her 2010 album "Teenage Dream" which spawned the hits "California Gurls," "Teenage Dream," "Firework," "E.T," and "Last Friday Night (TGIF)." Each song went to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 which led Perry to becoming the first female artist to have an album spawn five no. 1 singles and the second album to do so since Michael Jackson's "Bad."

Perry is also slated to return to the big screen this summer where she will reprise her role as Smurfette in "Smurfs 2."
