Katy Perry Says She 'Struggled for Months' About Choice to Release New Song

Katy Perry shared the emotional challenge of releasing her breakup song 'Bandaids' months after splitting with Orlando Bloom, hoping it helps others find strength, she said.

  • On Sunday, November 9, Katy Perry, 41, pop star, wrote on Instagram that `TBH, I struggled for months with the idea of putting this song out,` and thanked fans while sharing behind-the-scenes 'Bandaids' photos.
  • Perry's split from actor Orlando Bloom was confirmed in July, and 'Bandaids' is her first new release since ending the engagement earlier this week.
  • Lyrics feature direct pleas and admissions, including `Hand to God, I promise I tried / There’s no stone left unturned,` and `Got so used to you letting me down`, while Perry shared music video behind-the-scenes photos and fans praised the release on Instagram.
  • Photos obtained by the Daily Mail show Perry and former prime minister Justin Trudeau kissing on the Caravelle yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara, and an insider told Page Six he is `crazy about her`.
  • Perry said she hopes the lyrics resonate with those who've experienced similar pain and the video's daisy seemingly references her daughter Daisy, linking the song to co‑parenting.
