Bruno Mars, are you listening?

Pop singer Katy Perry stopped to chat with E! News while at the iHeart Music Festival in Las Vegas and shared with us that she'd love to work with the "Treasure" singer on a track someday.

"I've always said I'd wanna collaborate with Rihanna, but I'd love to collaborate with Bruno Mars. I always say, 'When I grow up, I wanna be the female version of Bruno Mars,' cause he's so wildly talented in showing everybody that he has so much diversity in him," Perry tells us.

The "Roar" singer also explained how excited she was to perform in front of a different audience than her usual fan base.

"There's so many different people in the audience that's what I love. There's probably so many people I've never played to, because maybe I don't play to the same audience as Keith Urban but I'm so excited to get in front of those people tonight."

Meanwhile, Katy shared that her next release "Walking on Air" off her upcoming album Prism (out Oct. 22) will hit iTunes on Sept. 30, and says, "I'm very proud of this record. It's very exciting. It's gonna make you dance, just like the last one but it's a lot more self-reflective."
