’Never Really Over’ is Perry’s first new solo single of 2019.
Katy Perry is back where she belongs. Following her critically panned record, Witness, Perry has returned to making the ebullient pop that won her so many fans in the first place. “Never Really Over” is a burst of catharsis with an impossibly catchy beat.
In “Never Really Over,” Perry mourns a recently ended relationship, although she expresses doubt it actually ended. She makes the roller-coaster of an on-and-off, hot and cold (sorry) relationship sound like an absolute dream.
