It comes after the ‘Chained to the Rhythm’ hitmaker took to social media on Tuesday (25.04.17) and hinted that ‘Bon Appétit’ is her next single. Alongside a wink face and a set of cherries emojis, she wrote on Twitter: “Bake me a pie and you may get a surprise”

And then Katy sent her fans a newsletter with the “World’s Best Cherry Pie” recipe, captioning the graphic: “Open and swipe up” Fans proceeded to bake cherry pies and tweeted the singer with their photos. When one fan asked the star to reveal the surprise, she teased: “There’s no tell but if you do (bake) there’s gift in the mail ”
And eagle-eyed fans spotted that hidden in the recipe and method there appears to be lyrics for the new track, which read: “This pie is gonna hit that sweet tooth, boy / Calm those hungry eyes / Bon appétit, baby!” Meanwhile, Katy recently revealed she has an album on the way but she wants to release a few songs before giving her fans the “full meal” as she feels music listeners can only manage small chunks at a time.
She explained: “I’ve got something swirling, but, you know, I think I want to put out some songs first before I give them the full meal. I think we are digesting things in bite-size these days and that’s what we can handle. It’s not shade at all anything like that – you’ll know when it’s shade.
“But when someone has a 17 or 19-track album, you’re like, ‘Oh my God, I have to take a trip to Mars to listen to your record in full!’ I mean I love you, you’re my favorite dope artist, but like we want bite size. We, like, only read headlines. We don’t even read the whole story!”
