"I kissed a girl" is one of Katy Perry's biggest hits but the singer would rewrite 2008 song to remove some "stereotypes" if it was released today.

In an interview with Glamour magazine, the singer, 33, said society has changed a lot in the last 10 years.

"We've really changed, conversationally, in the past 10 years. We've come a long way. Bisexuality wasn't as talked about back then, or any type of fluidity. If I had to write that song again, I probably would make an edit on it," she said.

"Lyrically, it has a couple of stereotypes on it. Your mind changes so much in 10 years, and you grow so much. What's true for you can evolve."
 

The singer did not specify the lyrics that she wanted to change but it would probably be: "I kissed a girl just to try it/I hope my boyfriend don't mind it. It's not what good girls do/Not how they should behave.
