" Katy Perry has ruled out naming her ex-partners on her new album. The singer explained that despite reflecting on her personal life during writing sessions, she will not mention ex-husband Russell Brand and former boyfriend John Mayer by name.   &amp;quot;Maybe I&amp;#039;m not specific with names, but that&amp;#039;s my lockbox where all my secrets go,&amp;quot; Perry told OK magazine. &amp;quot;Writing is like therapy. [My songs] stem from the truth inside of me.&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;I just want songs to be relatable, and to be adopted as someone else&amp;#039;s soundtrack.&amp;quot; Perry recently confirmed that she is &amp;quot;halfway through&amp;quot; the follow-up to 2010&amp;#039;s Teenage Dream. The collection produced five consecutive Hot 100 number ones in the US, matching a record previously set by Michael Jackson.
