Katy Perry almost scrapped releasing I Kissed A Girl — because she was not sure anyone would like it.

The song has become a worldwide hit topping the charts in more than 20 countries, including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland and the United World Chart.

But Katy had doubts prior to the its release.

Her boyfriend, Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy, reveals, “As soon as Katy played I Kissed A Girl to me, I said: ‘Baby, this is a smash.’

“I totally knew from the word go, but she wasn’t so sure. She was like: ‘Do you really think so?’

“I proved it to her. When Gym Class Heroes went on tour earlier this year we put together a playlist of songs to play before we went on stage. I put I Kissed A Girl on there without Katy knowing and as soon as it blasted out the kids went absolutely mad.

“They didn’t even know who Katy Perry was then.

“Katy turned up to one gig while we were playing it and was like: ‘What are you doing?’ She was happy with the reaction though.”
