'''''(A) Katy Perry''''' is an album recorded by [[Katy Perry]]. The album was meant to be Perry's solo debut (after working as a vocalist on [[The Matrix (record production team)|The Matrix]]'s then [[The Matrix (album)|canceled album]]). The album was recorded by Perry, during her recording sessions with [[Glen Ballard]]. When asked about the album by [[Blender Magazine]], Perry told them that the album would be rock-oriented in comparison to her work with [[The Matrix (record production team)|The Matrix]]<ref>Blender.

The album was set for release in 2005, but was canceled by the record label because they could not figure out how to promote Perry<ref>Superiorpics.com [http://www.superiorpics.com/katy_perry/]</ref>. The album later had a limited release in Japan on August 18, 2005.{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}} Katy's first mainstream pop album, ''[[One of the Boys (Katy Perry album)|One of the Boys]]'', was ultimately released three years later.

"Hook Up", which was later renamed "[[I Do Not Hook Up]]", and along with the song "Long Shot", were given to [[Kelly Clarkson]] for her 2009 album, ''[[All I Ever Wanted (album)|All I Ever Wanted]]''. Clarkson would later release "I Do Not Hook Up" as the second single from the album.
