John Mayer admits to having "hang-ups" about recording Katy Perry duet

John Mayer has revealed that he had reservations about collaborating with his girlfriend Katy Perry.

The two singers teamed up together for the track 'Who You Love', which features on Mayer's new album 'Paradise Valley'.

However, he suggested to Z100 that he had some doubts about whether or not he should hit the studio with his partner.

Mayer said: "I had this idea that just sat around for a while and I thought, 'Maybe I'll finish it some day' and I played it for Don Was who was producing the record with me and he said, 'Get Katy to sing on it'. Now, he could say that because he doesn't have to worry about all the hang-ups that I'd have to worry about."

The singer-songwriter added: "She was an artist in the studio and partner out of the studio. It was really professional. There was a moment where she was like, 'Let me just go through it once', and the way I work is, 'Let's get this and that and that' and she was like, 'Let me try it my way'.

"We were just fine before we met each other, that's what we say - 'You were fine before I met you, you don't need my advice,' and vice versa."
