'Jar of Hearts' beauty Christina Perri has confessed that writing her second album, which is due to be released on March 10, was a stressful and challenging experience because there was a lot of expectation and outside pressure. 

Speaking about her forthcoming new album, which is entitled 'Head or Heart', Perri explained that it's symbolic of the struggle that she finds between gut instinct and logic: "Half the album would be head songs, and half of them would be heart songs."

"I knew instantly (about the title) -- it came to me. I want to tell the truth; this is where I'm at in my life, I've tried trusting both. I gotta write a whole album, so what am I gonna write it about? I just decided to just sing about what I was going through. I didn't mean to do [dual themes] on purpose, it was just literally exactly what I was going for."

She added that releasing a second album is a daunting prospect, but she managed to overcome her anxieties surrounding the dreaded sophomore record by being honest with her songwriting:

"I decided this big scary sophomore album bullshit that everybody talks about is totally avoidable, I think, if you just tell the truth ... and my journey of not knowing which one to trust and the truth is, I still don't f---ng know. Maybe album three, I'll call it 'Gut'."
