We only have to wait a few more days until the world premiere of Katy Perry's latest music video for her newest hit single, "Wide Awake." Perry is bringing the anticipated clip to MTV on Tuesday via "MTV First: Katy Perry."

Perry has said the song, along with certain aspects of the video, is all about her journey of self-discovery during the past year. Of her inspiration for the song and the video, Perry told MTV News, "I just wanted to tell a story about myself going through this journey, maybe sometimes trying to get out of the maze. There's good parts; there's bad parts. Of course, there has been a lot of things that went on last year that I had to get through and overcome. I think what probably kept me going is just the purity of my belief in music."

Judging from what we saw in the recent teaser trailer, "Wide Awake" is all wrapped up in a fairytale or at least in a fairytale-like setting. Perry appears to be playing the princess, and along her journey encounters a poisoned strawberry, a curious cat, Prince Charming and a young girl.

Make sure to tune into MTV this Tuesday, June 19, at 7:53 p.m. ET for the worldwide premiere of the clip, followed by an exclusive 30-minute interview with Katy and MTV's Sway Calloway on MTV.com, during which Perry will discuss all the details about the song, which she wrote for her upcoming 3-D concert film, "Katy Perry: Part of Me."

The "Wide Awake" video will also debut on VH1, Logo and TeenNick, in addition to MTV.com, VH1.com and LOGOtv.com. Perry's fans around the globe will be able to stream the video online at KatyPerry.MTV.com.

Katy Perry's "Wide Awake" video premieres at 7:53 p.m. ET Tuesday, June 19, on MTV!
