Katy Perry Debuts New Single 'Unconditionally'

Katy Perry's new song called "Unconditionally" has arrived online. Produced by Dr. Luke and Cirkut, the new track has been confirmed as the second "Prism" single. It serves as the follow-up to chart-topping and platinum-selling lead single "Roar".

"It's a love song and it's different from 'Roar' - it's not eighth-notey," Perry said of the song during an interview several weeks ago. "And I think it's a universal love song that everyone's going to be able to relate to no matter the age, no matter male or female."

"Unconditionally" is a powerful love ballad that features Perry singing about loving her dearest one unconditionally. "Oh no, did I get too close?/ Oh, did I almost see what's really on the inside?/ All your insecurities/ All the dirty laundry/ Never made me blink one time," she sings.

Perry is gearing up to release her "Prism" album, which is due out on October 22 via Capitol Records. The album will also include "Dark Horse" and "Walking on Air", two songs which have been released as promotional singles.

HEALTH: How To Avoid Body Odour

Dr. Olanrewaju Falodun, a consultant dermatologist at the National Hospital in Abuja, on Tuesday says the general perception that some people were born with body odour is wrong.

Dr. Falodun told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that body odour was caused by the process of bacteria breaking down in the sweat, and the sweat causing the odour.

“There are two types of sweat glands in the body. These are the eccrine gland which is found all over the body, and the apocrine gland which is found primarily in the ancillary (armpit) and genital areas.

“The two sweat glands are usually connected to hair follicles, and much of the thing we call body odour is as a result of the apocrine gland.

“The glands do not mature or start functioning until when a person reaches the age of puberty, and that is why the real issues about odour are more pronounced after puberty,” he said.

Mr. Falodun says obesity also triggers body odour in people who are overweight, as the sweat is trapped between the folds of skin.

The dermatologist however says body odour can be prevented, as long as the person diligently maintained cleanliness of the body.
