Katy Perry single The self-titled debut album of The Matrix, which features Katy Perry, was later released via the team's label, Let's Hear It, during Perry's solo tour.
When the release date was scheduled, "I Kissed a Girl" had been charting well. Matrix member Lauren Christy spoke to Katy Perry about the decision, but Katy Perry wanted to hold the release until the 4th single of One of the Boys had been dispatched. Despite their communication, The Matrix was released on January 27, 2009, via iTunes Store.
