"Katy Perry has discussed writing about her divorce from Russell Brand on her new album. The singer penned piano-led ballad &amp;#039;By the Grace of God&amp;#039; for her new collection Prism, which details her struggle after the breakdown of her marriage to the comedian.  &amp;quot;Well, imagine what you go through,&amp;quot; Perry told EW. &amp;quot;Imagine what happens when you go through a break-up. We all go through break-ups and we all get very depressed and desperate.  &amp;quot;The lyrics are very exact and autobiographical. That&amp;#039;s how I write. But the one thing about those lyrics is you can hear me finding my strength throughout the song.  &amp;quot;It starts off really low and then I kind of stand up for myself and say, &amp;#039;No!&amp;#039;&amp;quot;  She added: &amp;quot;Sometimes you look in the mirror when you&amp;#039;re crying and if you look in the mirror it will make you cry more because you&amp;#039;re feeling sorry for yourself.  &amp;quot;And then sometimes you look in the mirror and you cry and I&amp;#039;ve been like, &amp;#039;Snap out of it! It&amp;#039;s time to - come on - grow up! No!&amp;#039;  &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s almost like this inner warfare that comes out, this inner battle between the good angel and the bad devil.&amp;quot; Katy Perry&amp;#039;s new album Prism was released earlier this week and is currently number one on iTunes in the UK and US.
