The `I Kissed a Girl` singer - who is currently dating British comedian Russell Brand - insists her follow-up material to debut album `One of the Boys` will be influenced by her romantic experiences.

She said: "My new songs are a little bit more mature. I know how to handle boys now.

"Actually, I don`t even mess with boys anymore, I mess with men. It`s different because on `One of the Boys` I was, like, 17 to 23 and some of those songs, like half the record, I wrote when I was 19 - and that`s such a different place than you are when you`re 25."

The singer also revealed she has started "saving" details of her life, so her new songs will be more honest.

She added: "When I sit down to talk about things, sometimes I don`t give as much detail as I used to but I think I am saving it for the songs - and the songs I?m just gushing.

"From the few songs that I`ve written so far, they are very honest, if not more honest than the last ones."
