Katy Perry has premiered the video for her new single This Is How We Do. Watch it below.

The colourful promo clip features 12 costume changes, a Mariah Carey lookalike and a twerking ice cream – as well as an unexpected nod to Aretha Franklin.

This Is How We Do is the fifth single from Perry’s Prism album, after the smash hits Roar and Dark Horse – and the rather less successful Unconditionally and Birthday.

The somewhat ridiculous track features a shout-out to Mariah Carey, whom Perry appeared to throw shade at recently when she described the diva as “fabulous for a throwback” – read the full story here.

Prism reached Number One in both the UK and the US upon its release last October, and has sold over three million copies worldwide so far.

Meanwhile, the writer-director of iconic 1995 teen flick Clueless, Amy Heckerling, recently revealed that Perry is interested in starring in the forthcoming Broadway adaptation of her much-loved movie – click here for the full story.

Earlier this year Perry shot a magazine cover with Madonna, and said that the Queen Of Pop knows “exactly what she’s doing” – read the whole story here.
