Katy Perry Reveals She “Struggled For Months” Over Emotional New Song “Bandaids”

Katy Perry revealed she struggled for months to release 'Bandaids,' reflecting on her breakup after nearly a decade with Orlando Bloom and their shared daughter, Daisy.

  • On Nov. 6, Grammy-winning pop star Katy Perry released 'Bandaids' and its music video, which observers read as alluding to her breakup with Orlando Bloom.
  • Earlier this year, Perry and Bloom ended their engagement after almost a decade together, and the song is Perry's first release since that split, arriving about a year after 143; they share daughter Daisy Dove, born August 2020.
  • The track's lyrics depict repeated disappointment and attempts to save the relationship, while the music video stages painful moments including a ring-down-the-drain sequence and a hand injury.
  • On Nov. 9, Perry wrote on Instagram that she struggled for months releasing the song and found vulnerability scary, while the video closes with a daisy image referencing Daisy Dove.
  • Their representatives said the couple is 'taking respectful, loving space' amid the split, with both Perry and Bloom emphasizing mutual respect and peaceful co-parenting of daughter Daisy Dove, as Bloom noted on Sept. 5.
