“ | I am 37-year old woman who still struggles with being insecure. I’ve come to realize that everyone is insecure, and that if you are not, I wonder if you have some negative characteristics because of that. I'm such a big fan of the animation world, and because my daughter is two years old, I am more immersed than ever before. What resonated for me with Melody and her character is the overall storyline that has to do with self confidence. I’ve realized in laying the foundation for my own child to be fearless, confident and brave, that you cannot have enough films with such strong themes of empowerment. | ” |
—Katy Perry on Melody |

Trivia[]
- Perry is the first known American celebrity to voice a character for a ZAG feature film.
- Perry wasn't involved in the early development stages of Melody from 2015 to around 2020. She was later brought in to help the crew coming up with the film's story "to convey a message of empowerment in a fantastical world that has music at its core".
- The story for the film is inspired by Perry's journey of becoming a pop singer.
- Prior to her joining the project, it was confirmed that three songs were already written from 2017 to 2018.[2][3][4] When Perry becomes a collaborator for Melody, it's confirmed that she wrote new songs and will perform them for the film. The songs are said to "include themes on self-discovery, believing in oneself and chasing your dreams".[5][6]
- Melody isn't going to be Perry's first animated voiceover role. She previously voiced Smurfette for The Smurfs film duology from Sony Pictures Animation.
- According to Perry, she lands her role for Melody because she resonates with the character's story and how it reflects "some of [Perry's] own struggles with self-confidence". She hopes the film's theme of self-discovery and empowerment can "help encourage her daughter to be brave and confident".[7][8]
