Katy Perry will debut her new song, “Wide Awake” in an exclusive performance on the “2012 Billboard Music Awards,” from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday 20^th May.

“Wide Awake” was written for her upcoming film, “Katy Perry: Part of Me”.  She began documenting her California Dreams Tour, consisting of 124 performances, over a year ago.  To be released on 5^th July 2012, “Katy Perry: Part of Me”  will be a first-ever big-screen look at the international superstar’s life both on and off-stage.

Said Katy, “I am so excited to paint the silver screen in 3D color with help from our friends at Paramount and Imagine. For the last year and a half, I have intimately documented my life both on and off the stage of The California Dreams Tour. I want to take you behind the cotton candy clouds and reveal the highs and lows and nuts of bolts of this extraordinary ride. I promise you, after seeing this film, you will truly know me.”
