Perry said she intends the release the album, despite any challenges presented by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
"In California, you know, there's going to be a lot of rules and ways of doing things -- we're not just going to go back to normal," she said. "I'm going to put out a record this year, quarantined or not, because we ain't gonna let no coronavirus stop us from dancing, even if we're dancing in our homes."
The American Idol judge said the album's songs "could be helpful and empowering and hopeful and joyful" amid the health crisis.
"It's a song for all of the dreams that you guys have been dreaming about, and all the things you want to achieve," Perry said.
Perry performed during the Disney Family Singalong: Volume II special Sunday evening on ABC. She performed the song "Baby Mine" from Dumbo alongside her dog Nugget while dressed as Mrs. Jumbo and Dumbo, respectively.
