While the album was initially planned to be "darker" than her previous material, ''Prism'' ultimately became a prominently [[Swedish music|Swedish dance music]]-inspired record. The singer worked with several past collaborators, while enlisting new producers and guest vocals. Much of ''Prism'' revolves around the themes of living in the present, relationships, and self-empowerment. Critical response to the album was generally mixed to positive: many of the critics highlighted its "maturity" and "vulnerability", while some journalists considered ''Prism'' a disappointment compared to her previous material, describing its songs as "formulaic" and "forgettable". It debuted atop of the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], with Perry's best opening week to date (286,000 copies sold). The album also peaked at number one in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. ''Prism'' became Perry's fastest-selling album,<ref name="sales 2014"/> the second best-selling album in Australia in 2013,<ref name="ARIA 2013"/> and the second best-selling album released by a woman in the United States in 2013.<ref>{{cite web|last=Caulfield|first=Keith|title=Justin Timberlake's '20/20' 2013's Best-Selling Album, 'Blurred Lines' Top Song|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/justin-timberlakes-20-20-2013s-668370|website=''The Hollywood Reporter''|publisher=[[Prometheus Global Media]]|date=January 3, 2014}}</ref> The release of the album was preceded by the release of two singles. "[[Roar (song)|Roar]]", was released on August 10, 2013 as the album's lead single. It became a commercial success and the singer's eighth non-consecutive single to top the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]]. "[[Unconditionally]]" debuted on October 16, 2013 as the record's second single. In between the release of these two tracks were the releases of promotional singles "[[Dark Horse (Katy Perry song)|Dark Horse]]" on September 17 and "[[Walking on Air (Katy Perry song)|Walking on Air]]" on September 30, 2013. "Dark Horse" was released as the album's third single on December 17, 2013. ==Development and recording== [[File:Sia Seattle.jpg|left|thumb|200px|While in [[Stockholm, Sweden|Stockholm]], Perry worked with [[Sia Furler]] (''pictured'') on new material for ''Prism''.]] After Perry's initial devastation from English actor/comedian [[Russell Brand]] divorcing her in late December 2011, she felt influenced to make a "darker" album than her previous studio efforts. During a June 2012 interview with ''[[L'Uomo Vogue]]'', the singer stated: "It was inevitable, after what I went through. If I had a time machine and could go back in time, I would. But I can't, so, you'll discover another part of me".<ref name="luomo">{{cite web|last=Fossi|first=Michele|title=The new cover with Katy Perry on L'Uomo Vogue|url=http://www.vogue.it/en/uomo-vogue/cover-story/2012/06/katy-perry-cover|website=''Vogue Italia''|publisher=[[Condé Nast]]|date=June 22, 2012}}</ref> Perry claimed that she "hadn't let the light in" when the recording sessions for ''Prism'' started in November 2012. The creative process behind ''Prism'' turned it into a different album from what Perry expected: the singer felt inspired while watching a six-minute video by [[Eckhart Tolle]], author of the self-help book ''[[The Power of Now]]''. She stated: "When you lose something, all your foundations crumble– but that also leaves a big hole that's open for something great to come through."<ref name="prismcoverstory">{{cite web|last=Diehl|first=Matt|title=Katy Perry's 'PRISM': The Billboard Cover Story|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/5740580/katy-perrys-prism-the-billboard-cover-story|website=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|date=September 27, 2013}}</ref> Perry ultimately took a more positive direction with the record. The singer revealed to [[MTV News]]: "There's not really any darkness on the record. There's definitely some textures and colors but I think I was saying that when I saw going through a different phase, but I really let that light in."<ref name=Light>{{cite web|last=Garibaldi|first=Christina|title=Katy Perry 'Lets the Light In' On ''Prism''|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1713176/katy-perry-prism.jhtml|publisher=MTV.com|accessdate=August 28, 2013}}</ref> Perry ultimately described ''Prism'' as "more organic, au naturale {{sic}}, vulnerable and honest" than ''Teenage Dream'', but as having "the same amount of fun" of the latter.<ref name="prismcoverstory"/> While on the [[California Dreams Tour]], Perry started recording "fragments" of ideas she had on her phone. She entered the studios in November 2012 along [[Greg Kurstin]] and [[Greg Wells]], but felt that she was in a "dark place" and postponed them. Perry went through an "intensive" period of self-examination, including a trip to Africa, and the sessions began in March 2013 again. She reunited with [[Dr. Luke]], [[Bonnie McKee]], and [[Cirkut (record producer)|Cirkut]] in her hometown of [[Santa Barbara, California]]. From there, she headed to Stockholm, where she worked with [[Max Martin]], [[Stargate (production team)|StarGate]], [[Benny Blanco]], [[Juicy J]], [[Jonatha Brooke]], [[Sia Furler]], [[Bloodshy & Avant|Bloodshy]], and [[Klas Åhlund]]. Perry then suggested that they should release the album in the fourth quarter of 2013.<ref name="prismcoverstory"/> In April 2013, Perry stated that the album was halfway complete and deemed it "schizophrenic", while adding: "When I tell the record company when I want to release the album, that's when the race starts. That's when I put pressure on myself". About the recording sessions and production, Perry said: "As a team we have certain strengths, with Max, it's melody choices, Luke is production and I'm topline and melody. Working with [[Bonnie McKee]] is like an emotional abuse session, Bonnie and I argue [like] we're in the ring fighting for the best lyric".<ref name=double>{{cite news|last=Gallo|first=Phil|title=Katy Perry Is Halfway There on Third Album, Talks New Songs Like 'Double Rainbow'|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1558827/katy-perry-is-halfway-there-on-third-album-talks-new-songs-like-double-rainbow|work=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|date=April 18, 2013}}</ref> Two months later, McKee revealed that Perry and herself wrote four tracks together and added that they were more "grown up".<ref>{{cite web|last=Vena|first=Jocelyn|title=Katy Perry's 'Soulmate' Gives Details On 'More Mature' Album|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1709867/katy-perry-bonnie-mckee-new-album.jhtml?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MTVNewsLatest+%28MTV+News+Latest+Headlines%29|publisher=MTV News.

Viacom|date=August 16, 2013}}</ref> Perry told ''Billboard'' magazine that the album was not expected to be released until early 2014, stating: "In May [2013] I sat down with my managers and said, 'Guys, I think I'm going to have everything ready enough to come out this fourth quarter'. We weren't really thinking we'd be able to put anything out until February [2014], but you don't want to sit on something that's about to burst..... I didn't want to do 'Teenage Dream 2.0'.

According to [[Metacritic]], the album received an [[weighted mean|average]] score of 61/100 based on 26 reviews. Jon Dolan from ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' gave the album three out of five stars, writing that "Perry and her longtime collaborators [[Dr. Luke]] and [[Max Martin]] often go for a darker, moodier intimacy à la high-end Swedish divas [[Robyn]] and [[Lykke Li]]. Perry has always done a great job of letting us know she's in on the joke of pop stardom. Sadly, she doesn't always bring that same sense of humor and self-awareness to the joke of pop-star introspection. The album's raft of ripe-lotus ballads is larded with Alanis-ian poesy she can't pull off". Nick Catucci from ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' gave the album a B+ and stated that "Katy's superpower, now more than ever, is minting songs so relatable that their insights quickly scale up to inspirational..... Now she grasps that she's making the mainstream, not just swimming in it". Helen Brown from ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'' gave the album five out of five stars, stating Perry "sounds like a woman, and an artist, who's finally found herself" and praised the "vulnerability" of the album.<ref name=TelegraphReview>{{cite web|last=Brown|first=Helen|title=Katy Perry, Prism, review|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopreviews/10386191/Katy-Perry-Prism-review.html|publisher=The Daily Telegraph|accessdate=October 17, 2013}}</ref> Stephen Thomas Erlewine from [[AllMusic]], Alexis Petridis from ''[[The Guardian]]'', and Sal Cinquemani from [[Slant Magazine]] all also gave the album three out of five stars.
