In a TikTok video shared by 102.7 KIIS FM, the 38-year-old pop star recalled receiving Eilish's debut single, Ocean Eyes, from her record label.

At the time, the 20-year-old was a new artist at Perry's record label, Unsub Records, and the company had hoped to convince the Roar artist to work with Eilish.

"It was a song called Ocean Eyes, and it was just a blonde girl, and I was like, 'Meh, boring,'" Perry confessed.
